captain Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 This is how you'll feel in 2 weeks. Do you notice the resonance when you blip the throttle and the needle drops between 4,000 and 3,250 revs? That sound will be in your head when you go to bed. In fact I think my head still rattles and I sold mine 4 months ago. Good luck. PS - Don't want to spoil your fun but I predict will be in the For Sale section by Xmas.

bigbramble Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 love it! why does it lose power? The aim is to get the exhaust gas out to atmosphere as quickly as possible, this maximises power. The gas leaving the engine only has a finite amount of energy to escape. If you make the tube too big the gas fills the larger space before it can move further down the tube to atmosphere, this takes up more of the energy and slows the exhaust gas so that it will take longer to exit - this loses you power. If the pipe is too small however you will get pressure in the pipe which tries to force the gas backwards so you have to find a compromise. Huge pipes like the japspeed k1 might work on a FI car where the energy/amount of exhaust gas is so much greater but on a naturally aspirated car massive pipes fail again and again. I always thought it was funny to see 1.0 saxos and the with dirty great exhausts which would actually take a lot of the power away. Interestingly the stock back section is very good according to Mark at Abbey motorsport, exceptional for up to 400bhp. I was curious how this was so as its normally a no to have a larger pipe such as my motordyne xyz going into a smaller diameter rear section. The reason he tells me is because by the time the gas reaches the rear section its lost so much energy it doesnt matter that the diameter is smaller. Made instant sense to me and as always illustrates why exhaust choice is so crucial on naturally aspirated cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
player2301 Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 anyway lol !!!!!

Some lads on the US forum with FI setups had to get rid of the end system for restriction of airflow... it reminds me I need to get my system looked at actually... (wasnt finished) If I was to redo the exhaust I'd go for a similar system that MR Lizard on here uses if was to keep her NA seems to be a well build piece of kit... I do like the ART can type systems, read up on the theory behind it and pretty impressed about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
