Smile New X-Pipe Installed!!

Yesterday I went to Denton to have Sean do some clutch work and install an X-Pipe via Roger. It's like a new car!
I can't believe the power increase. I was a little skeptical before, not anymore. If your on the fence about getting one, don't wait...buy one!!!

Thanks again Sean(and you too Rog)!!
It truly feels like a new car!

I'm just glad it's not an automatic.

No Cats on Brians car.
However even with high flow cats fitted there was little difference. Dyno with and without cats showed no measurable power loss.

Removing my cats and installing a hand made H pipe really helped.

It is the first mod that should be done. IMHO

The second is to open up the intake and mildly port the heads.
Even though I installed the Tec-GT at the same time, I believe it was the porting and gasket matching the intake to the heads that really helped it Live.

Some day an X pipe will be installed but ILL wait till I can do a complete exhaust.
