Now to figure out those rattles...simple answer -- foam. lol. Until then, just turn it up louder!!! hahaha I guess I didn't really buy them -- but I did take them off Waco's hands...don't think the miata can support this raw AWESOME!!

Waco Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Only 2"? I thought it was 3"? It's not a V8. BP now has my subs in her car. Goodbye 10 Hz monsters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) It's not a V8. BP now has my subs in her car. Goodbye 10 Hz monsters. VW GTI - 2 liter turbo - 3" downpipe. I bought a $45 groupon for my brother and I to go go-kart sometime this summer. I also bought a $500 dollar plane ticket to California and paid my $520 speeding ticket. I'm broke now.

Waco Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 VW GTI - 2 liter turbo - 3" downpipe. Did you miss the Turbo part? Of course it has a huge exhaust. Any turbo car without an adequate exhaust is just wasting free power. Edit: I thought your ticket was like $400? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I thought your ticket was like $400? Yeah but I also elected to take the driving school so that I don't get points on my license and my insurance doesn't go up. Also, the GTI is so under-tuned that it's ridiculous. A $500 ECU reflash from APR (one of the more expensive companies) will bump up the power from 200 to 250 and the torque from 200 to maybe 270. I'm not too sure on the exact figures because it varies a lot, but it's about that much of a boost, which is massive. The car could probably be fine if it was with the stock tune and a smaller downpipe. Edited May 30, 2012 by Onion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 Yeah but my point stands - NA cars don't need the crazy low backpressure that Turbo cars do. Even 2" pipe is nearly overkill for the Miata. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coors Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 It's all about exhaust velocity, not backpressure. And bigger pipes doesn't always mean more velocity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 It's all about exhaust velocity, not backpressure. Before the turbo, yes. After the turbo the less backpressure the better. Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted May 30, 2012 Posted May 30, 2012 And bigger pipes doesn't always mean more velocity. I know, that's why I think ricers with their 4" exhausts have cars that run like crap. The fumes don't have enough velocity to leave the pipes and it may get absorbed during the next cycle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
