So I finally sourced the X02 exhuast from another vendor here and got it within days of paying ........ for much less than everyone else paid.

Now I have to wait for my Stillen Intake and for 8/19. I'll post dyno results of each mod for you guys with 07s. Only thing im worried is that it might be too loud. Guess Ill have to wait and see.

If anyone wants to go.Its a dyno day of mostly european cars but a few other cars are going.

 

Keep us updated!

 

Installed the x02 after work today. Took my buddy and I about 1 1/2 hrs using no hand tools and floor jacks.

Sounds pretty nice. Have to get used to v6 sound. Being around/owning bmw inline 6s for 15+ years has tuned my ears differently.

Ill get video up over weekend and eagerly anticipate my stillen dual intake.

 

well I got my stillen intake in on tuesday and installed it that same day. I can really feel the difference with both mods on. It sounds a lot nicer too. Well I didnt get to do a before dyno but am still gonna dyno on the 8/19. At least to know where it stands now. Anyone else wanna go its only $40 for 2 runs .....however there will be lots of cars there.

 

Where at?

 

Its in New Braunfels. Here are the details. It will consist of mostly BMW/VW cars but a few other makes are going as well. Im taking my Z instead of my boosted e30.


Date: 8-19-2007
Time: 10:00 a.m. ~ 2:00 p.m.
Place: Henderson Performance Technologies
b]Cost for 2 wheel dyno:[/b] $40.00 and includes 2 runs, A/F ratio, and printouts.
Cost for AWD dyno: ~$80.00 and includes 2 runs, A/F ratio, and printouts. Reason being is that it is at least 2-3 times the amount of work to setup these cars and get some good pulls than with the 2 wheel drive dyno.
Note: If you plan on dyno'ing an E46 M3 then let me know, there are special requirements to dyno those cars and if you plan on doing it then I need to make sure we can meet those requirements to get some pulls and not waste your time and/or money.

 

Sweet, Thanks for the info.

 

Hey How much did you get your Exhaust For?

 

yeah I want to know also, been waiting for the new shipment due to arrive on the 20th.

 

Results are in..... Im disappointed. They spent 10-15 minutes with my car on trying to get a tach signal. yes it was on the whole time! So they only got hp/speed/ afr. So car was heatsoaked and it was also 95.50 degrees and 32% humdity in the shop. Not ideal for any sort of dyno runs.
Looked at other dyno runs done here and Im testing at 25+ degrees hotter. So anyways I put down 264.35 hp at who knows what rpm.... afr was kind of rich .....11.25-11.50. Ill post of graph later.

Everyone was running really low numbers. For comparison. Stock E36 M3s usualy dyno 215-225 and all 8 tested were at 195-205 hp. A supercharged e36 8psi M3 was at 271.4 hp. So yeah everyone was disappointed. It was a good turnout. About 35 cars. I had the second highest NA numbers. Highest was my buddy in his 06 roush stage 2.... its na and it put down 272. he was upset too.

Shop guys told us under ideal conditions (around 70-78 degrees and much less humidity) all of us should be 15-20 more rwhp. So I cant wait to go back when it cools down in nov/december.

 

UPDATE: Im no longer dissapointed. Reason is my car was dynoed in 4th not 5th gear. 5th gear is the the 1:1 . All the other cars tested that day were 5spds and run in their 1:1 which is their 4th.

So Im going back next week and doing both a 4th and 5th gear run to show the difference. Took a lot of search on this site and looking at my sheet to figure this out. Then of course I called the dyno guys and they said "oh yeah we should have used 5th"

So anyone wanna go next week?

 

I would, since I did not make it last week. When are you going and how much is it going to be?
