Well we FINALLY got the exhaust taken care of on the stang. This is something I wanted to happen before Fun Ford Ennis, but my Dr. Gas X pipe was on back order. First off I would like to thank Fred for his tremendous amount of help with all of this. To do it right, we had to cut and lengthen a portion of the x pipe to make it fit with the Torque Arm so it was not a typical install.
Old combo: And old beat-up “I call him tetanus” off-road pipe. and the venerable Stock catback
New Combo: Dr. Gas X. pipe, DynoMax catback with Race Magnum ovals. We didn’t get to do the tail
pipes due to time but eventually, those will be installed too(so it is dumped right now).
Results? :D
First thing, a second gear roll (2000rpm) now is pretty much useless as the boost comes on MUCH quicker than it did before. Also it used to read 7 maybe 7.5 # and now it reads more like 9#! And with that added boost its also pinging a little, so I plan on pulling some timing out of it tonight. I only really got on it all the way twice due to the pinging.
Mr. Frazier, if you have some time this week (and if I have time) I got an extra O2 bung that could use a wideband in it for just a few minutes.
:burnout:
