~~~ Project Dark Horse - 08 Dual Exhaust
I wanted to give an update to those who have been following my exhaust project amoung everything else. actually I am working on 3 exhaust projects exactly. Project Dark Horse seems to be close to completion of the R&D stages
~~What is Dark Horse?
It will be an muffler upgrade featuring a single canister transverse (dual tip) muffler for the rear. In terms of getting this project off the ground its taken many hours....... errrr many days to figure out mounting strategy and keep the platform easy to work with Stock exhaust pipe as well as an upgraded downpipe system.
In terms of warranty compliance, my home dealer Mitsubishi has given the tenative thumbs up and will be installed by a sister dealer, in the coming weeks or months.
~~Problems with Dark Horse
Pipe size. figuring out pipe size, it was wise to follow the current spec and keep the option open for what the new spec will be in the systems to come out down the road.
2.25"
2.75"
Only the dyno will tell us if here is any loss.
Still looking for afriendly dyno house in the Toronto area to assist in the testing. So i will give everything an update when I hit the dyno with the exhaust installed
~~ Rear Lip
As everyone knows, our back end is not cut for a dual exhaust setup, so a new rear bodykit is in order. Which could be expensive? or you could opt for a rear lip addon. Its in the works, but god knows when I get time to get that done.
So much projects very little time
Anyways keep you guys updated when i have more to report. Pics and all at the welder and Dealer when its installed

Well the moment of truth will be to hear the exact tone and to know there is no TQ loss. by keeing the size small I dont think so but hey this is all theory at the moment.
making a few more trips out to my welder and we will figure everything out

i have a few sponsors here and there, welding, install bay stuff, a few parts. but I dont have any paints / body work. Lack the funding at this time. Idealy if i had a white car then i could get away with it for a while.

Projects I got a ton, problems is only have 2 hands and a 24 hour day, half the time drunk so you can sense the handicap
Project Dark Horse: Dual Exhaust 60%
Welding junction pending
Project SHIVA: Cold Air Intake 40 %
waiting on fabrication of head resistant plastic to spec.
Project Falcon: Extended - Short Ram Intake 25%
Running behind engine, fed by a under car air dam/vent with CF or Head resistance Plastic headshield. ~ waiting on body work guy to help fabricate a low drag air dam from under the car to up into the engine bay and down again.
Project Big Mouth - Short Ram with fin design 80%
Short Ram with a wire frame fin design for inhibit air tumble and enhance air flow, 11% fuel gain. Sold Original, need to create a new one.
Project Smart Burn - 100%
Need Volenteers to test a theory behind the fuel economy of the car and testing a few minor mods vs. stock or near stock cars. It is possible to achieve low mpg during mixed city and extremely low fuel burn during highway.
I have already prepared my method. 4 cars will complete a trip between gas stations 60km from A to B with one configuration and then B to A with a swap of car configurations. Cars will be prepped, fully fuelled and rolled out at the same time, then will travel the full distance to the end point, refuel to full tank and compare Fuel loss in take.
The cars needed are
1 complete stock CVT Auto
2 RRM SRI CVT Auto
3 Stock Manual 5 speed (his purpose is to be a human benchmark)
4 I will be providing the CVT AUTO with a slightly modified SRI.
In lap B, if car 1 and 2 doesnt mind, they will swap there intake parts to ensure there is no discrepency between their cars. I may or may not swap during this test, and may go head to head with the most effcient pick. 1 2 or 3.
a max speed on all city streets will be observed including on highway. There will not be any drafting allowed. And a GPS tracker will be loaded in each car that has time indexing enabled. to allow us to compensate for any stop time that may occur if we get caught between red lights * unlikely. For those who are familure with highway 7 north of toronto.
I will post this request in its own thread when I am ready to begin. But all volenteers get 3 beers on me? from the 12 pack i am going to buy. To be enjoyed after the run, lol not before
