ic... does this rob any hp from the pipe? and does the CEL work still if something else in the engine goes wrong?

 

IT does not rob power. AS for CEL it is a generic light. Once it is on that is all you see. Good thing is most CELs are meaningless to performance oriented people. It can go on for stupid stuff and have no effect on performance. If you have CEL and car runs crappy, then you need to address it.

I'll order one as soon as the cel eliminator is on the downpipe.

 

I approve i would pay it

 

Figure 2 weeks more for those to be ready. I will post up on that!

do yuo happen to have a pic of the cel eliminator?

 

Just wondering but what exactly are the benefits from the downpipe? And will it line up with the Axel back you guys sell? And can i buy the CEL elminator seprately and have it work on a downpipe you guys produced a couple months ago? Also how loud would the axelback plus downpipe be? I don't want to be pulled over for it...

Sorry about all the newb questions, it's just that i want to know Rock's opinion on this stuff, along with others.

 

Benefits - no cat, smooth pipe (the stock pipe is atrocious) = more high-end power, very noticable.
The downpipe doesn't connect to the axleback, it's a different section of pipe, so yes, it'll work.
The eliminator will work with old pipes. All it does is thread into the O2 bung on the midpipe (not the downpipe)
Axleback + downpipe is pretty loud. Some people, like me, got used to it, but others didn't like it and added a resonator or cat to quiet it down. I'm going to post a video that you can watch where you can hear my pipe with the DP and compare it with straight-pipe evos.

There's the video. Please don't stream. It's pretty long, and about 45mb. It's from a meet last month in Kalamazoo, MI. About midway through the video you can hear my exhaust (RRM downpipe and axleback) both in drive-by's and taking off. You can also hear me missing a 1-2 shift. How embarrassing.

 

alright, well rob i'll be ordering this pipe and some axxis brakepads monday..

 

Thanks for the responce otter, nice video btw. But yea my concern isn't so much emissions or anything, but it's the fact that MA has those new aftermarket exhaust laws, and i don't know how tightly they're enforced, but would this setup (axelback-downpipe) be loud enough to get pulled over for?

 

If they're seeking out louder than normal exhausts, then yeah, this will probably get you pulled over. An additional resonator may help reduce the risk.

 

Your foot helps controll the noise too!
