How do you explain it not sounding stock?

 

I did not get the answer to my question. The reason I want to know if you are switching to a different high flow filter is because I have one installed on my car. So if you get one and tune it to your specs thats great news for me. I want to get my car tuned with my xede and filter.
Thanks

 

Actually his car sounds really tame. When I first heard it start up at the track I thought It only had a catback on it

 

I'm considering going back (although this weekend may be a bit crowed with CMI) simply because I want to see what the car can really do in Round 2. Call it curiosity. I'm still on the steep part of the learning curve when it comes to drag racing so each time back should yield pretty substantial improvements. I'll be the first to admit that drag racing a car like this takes skill. Skill I clearly don't have yet. And the time and reward involved in honing that skill to the nth degree isn't worth it to me. I have more fun on the way to work and I learn more about tuning on our dyno in more controlled conditions when driver skill/performance is taken out of the equation.

The car had a dirty airfilter because I hadn't thought to change it before the hitting the track. I hadn't even looked at it until after my first run. My bad. But honestly, hp isn't the issue at this point. No use upping the power when I'm spending so much time hitting against the rev limiter and spinning all four R-compound tires.

Unless you are upgrading your turbo to something bigger, there really isn't much of a reason to upgrade your intake box/filter. The factory unit is already cold air ducted, quiet and capable of flowing sufficiently high flow rates. Not until Stage 2 levels does the intake begin to restrict performance. But even then, I'm going to keep it a standard part of the kit. An upgraded intake will be optional. The downside is a complete loss of stealth when the hood is popped. As well as a big increase in induction and BOV noise. But some folks like that No problem tuning for either set-up.

Ahh...good work on the run, Shiv.

Everyone get ready for "Tuner Mudslinging : Round 453"

 

As rACerS said, the car doesn't sound very modified. At cruise and idle, it's no louder than a car with good quiet cat-back. .

It runs our standard full exhaust which comes with a large straight-through muffler (not the obnoxious JDM-sytle, angled-out, no-muffling muffler) and a well-sized and placed resonator which gets rid of all that nasty drone which keeps from attracting too much attention when you don't want it.

Under full boost, however, it does get reasonably loud and mean which isn't a surprise considering the amount of airflow that is being pushing through it.

Thanks for insulting my exhaust Shiv

 

Well, that's what you get for having a ricey exhaust.

IMO, trying to make an Evo stealth is like trying to gently hit someone in the head with a brick. The Evo's an in-your-face kind of car and it's supposed to make noises. At least mine does.

I do have to say that the Magnaflow on my Buschur 3" TB does make it more driveable than the BR tin can. That thing is LOUD. To each his own, though.

Test drives available for you NY guys.

Insults arent needed here. And I guess you have a "ricey" exhaust too since Im running the same setup as you

 

Actually, I was wrong. It's a CUSCO twin plate.

shiv

PS. rACerS-- Sorry for insulting your exhaust. I wasn't intentional. I didn't even see what kind of exhaust you had at the time. And I certainly couldn't hear it over all those V8s

 

Let me know when this kit is ready to ship. I think I need to do a few more lapping days to get the new 1+ power down. Do you think running 235's with hooser slicks at the track the car will hook up, and not the 1/4 say Road Atlanta? I just want to be able to have smooth power that does not come in super hard. Also any info on stage 3? The reason I ask is because a friend has a NSX he put about 200k into that can hit 180mph on the back of Road Atlanta and want to see if the evo could ever do that. Also with all that power I think we need a lower gear maybe like a 4.1x or something.

Thanks!

 

I second that!!!

 

stage 3??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
C'mon man! one stage at a time!

 

Holy crap Shiv! Those are some sweet times! The mph is really impressive. I'm sure if you practiced, and got a good launch, you'd hit at least a 125 trap with a low 11 run, INSANE. My dad is getting an Evo soon, and wants some crazy power. So, this kit uses a different turbo? How are the driving characteristics with this turbo and the stage 2? I hope it's not too laggy. Also, when is the expected release date of this kit, I bet the anticipation is killing a lot of people lol One last question, will there be different octance maps made, or just a map for race fuel? You are the man! Keep it up. Later
