ohh mann.

Chad, your thread was good until the third page....sorry fella.

i just read 3 pages OF BICKERING ABOUT WHOS 3" PIPE WAS BETTER....?!?!?!?!

why is it that no one has tested a HELIX exhaust, dp, and hfc?? everyone wants to see different power concerns. id like to see a HELIX system tested against the others. hfc and test pipe.

it was great and refreshing to see an honest test against the exhausts. thank you. now back to work..

 

if someone sends me one, ill test it!

or if anyone is local... let me know...

sorry to muck up the content, maybe it could be edited by a mod... i have NO problem with that!

Chad,

As you know we are within a fairly close distance of each other. Maybe we can work together on getting results for a bunch of exhausts and making an index like thread that gives everyone a round about number of what a lot of these exhausts can produce. Shoot me a PM if you would like to discuss the possibility of doing something like this.

Also, maybe ALL vendors can be involved in something like this. Seeing how we are all part of a community, maybe we can start acting like it.

Steve,

i would welcome this test.

I would like to acquire a bone stock ix (going to be hard to find an 8) and ill use my 2.3 project car, and test whatever....

let's chat. if we can ever do anything for you, id be happy too

bone stock 8 right here for the next few weeks. Only got a drop in filter but i have a ton of parts to install just waiting in my garage. Pm me. We can work something out. Only 15 min away.

 

there

 

let me see what i can line up for some to test.

if i could have the car for a day or so, we could test all kinds of things...

Pm me and we can do business.

 

Well I dont agree with what alot of the Chinese brands have done, but you cant argue they can make basically the same product for less. Some of the major vendors just dont like these tests because it may prove an inferior ebay exhaust could make just as much power and that would hurt their business. Al, no doubt on your great tuning skills but your people skills on this forum sometimes reflect badly on yourself and I think thats why some people dont agree with how you conduct yourself. Anyways thanks for the test CBRD, its nice to see unbiased tests that arent trying to shamelessly sell there own products. I think people would really enjoy seeing some of the other tests you are thinking about.

 

On side note, was'nt Buschur stated that E bay o2 housing produces good result??

 

i think we may need to change our wording with "ebay" exhaust or o2 housing etc...

im guilty of it too.... if JAM puts a 2.3 block on ebay.... is it junk? or if i sell my evo on ebay and someone buys it, is it junk because it came from ebay??

not sure how we need to classify the items that are being discussed... but i think anything now that says "ebay" is developing a negative connotation.

other thing, im starting to believe that a few of these exhausts my be factory rejects for large name brand companies... almost all of them have small dents etc in them.

lol...

someone paid attention in school.... i was busy drawing cars on my desk!!

cheers guys...

we just dynoed a ix today with bolt ons, with a cat, and did a tune for an STU auto-x setup, stock boost.

made like 287/284 or something (stock was 230/232, strong car)

i was pretty impressed.... catted exhaust... wasnt very knock prone... ill make another post with the results...

i have pics of the exhaust mentioned in this thread, but the wife has the camera,ill get them up tomorrow.

happy saturday

my feeling on exhausts is 3" pipe is 3" pipe. as long as it fits, who cares

 

I agree, my ebay exhaust is nice and I have had name brand exhaust before.

 

That was my car. Thanks for the Uber tune Chad. The knock count was -0-! I posted the numbers in the STU thread and the weeping and gnashing of teeth is starting already. I can't wait to see what it'll do on GT100 fuel.

Have fun at the par-tay tonight.
