You only lose low end from opening up the exhaust, not the intake. I'd say more like a 2-3 HP gain and 2-3 ft. lbs. of torque. The biggest advantage of opening up the pipes is that you can rip up the rpms quicker.

Crash Clovis New Mexico, US Godlike Advisor	You did all of this on I/H/E/P? Im not the kind of guy to doubt what people tell me, but damn, Im surprised. 6 car lengths? Did he leave his transmission at the tree or strip his gears out? The SEARCH feature on the site works, I promise. USE IT!!! "I almost numchucked you, you dont even reallise!!" -Will Ferrell-

rhythmnsmoke Murfreesboro Tennessee, US Detailer	Latest wins: -SRT-4 with a Hahn Race Craft 20G turbine upgarde running @ 14 PSI of boost -STI -Modded WRX -Automatic 2006 Mustang GT w/Pro Charger running @ 9 PSI (400+whp est.) -Dezod T.E.A turbine Scion tC @ 10 PSI (friend of mine) -Custom 57 Trim turbine Scion tC @ 9 PSI (friend of mine) -Camaro SS on a 100shot of spray (said he had low bottle pressure) -Mustang GT (unknown mods), but it wasn't even a race as it seemed stock That's it for the latest stuff. Have old stuff too, like SR20/RB20 240sx's, Evo's, and a handful of other cars that shouldn't be racing against turboed cars.

rhythmnsmoke Murfreesboro Tennessee, US Detailer	Thanks Krdshrk! Yeah, I was searching around for stock 1/4 mile times for the tC that were "properly" driven, and I came upon some threads on this site, figured I would post up...hehee.

BRsciontc Wantagh New York, US Master Mechanic	I was suprised but it was legit. Another one of our friends marked the 1/4 and after the race the kid in the durango and my friend at the 1/4 mile said it was about 5-6 cars.

There was no need for me to race him after Preston (Dezod turbo tC), raced an SRT-4 and murdered him. That same SRT-4 beat the Pro Charge Stang. I can beat Preston, so....sort of an indirect way, I'm faster than the Stang....hehee.

On3Sh0tBlaz3 Massapequa New York, US Chief Mechanic	was on the southern state and saw a silver ferrari f430, of course had to (try) race it... pulled up next to him downshifted into 3rd nd punched it, was pulling and next second im staring at his tail lights as he flys by on my right, caught back up to him to gawk at the car a little more but he just looked over and stayed legal speeds after that, had to do it haha (and no I never thought i had a chance especially N/A haha)

Crash Clovis New Mexico, US Godlike Advisor	Haha, I did the same thing with a Viper one day. Of course I didnt stand a snowballs chance in hell, but it was worth it to pull up next to him, rev the engine, and watch him dust me like I was standing still.

07TouringCoupe Baltimore Maryland, US Scion Guru	iight. So this morning on the way to work i was driving and i saw H.I.D.'s behind me, i didnt pay it any mind. So i kept driving and beside my comes a 350 z. We get caught at a light. I didnt think he was gonna jump. He did. Then when he noticed i didnt jump he let off, so then i caught up beside him. Gased it a lil to see if he was gonna go, he downshifted. So did i and and we both gassed it and stayed on it at the same time. I went a head and took a half of car length on him and kept it for a good bit, Then he let off and turned off. I checked my bottle pressure last night and i was at like 600 psi before i raced that 350, if i had good pressure, it would not have been close. A car is only as good as it's driver.

07TouringCoupe Baltimore Maryland, US Scion Guru	Well when i raced him i had my 65 shot jets in. I normally use 75 on a average day. I dont know why my 65's were in. And on special events i will throw the 90 shots in.. Yea im goin to the track soon, but before i go there, ima get a dyno. Stock will be there first run, then with the 75, then with the 90.

07TouringCoupe Baltimore Maryland, US Scion Guru	Just as i thought things was ok. I raced a STI tonight. At first he didnt wanna race me seeing as tho my car looks stock, but when i got next to him, i purged and then he was all ready. I saw he playing wit some type of switches or whatever but, we did 3 honks and we went.. It was from like a 40.. Well uhh.. Yea he rolled my ass by like 1.5- 2 cars. So thats not that bad. I did have good pressure cuz i just got my bottle filled today and i threw my 75 back in.. so uh yea thats a lost in my book. His sti was quick. Losing or not. I stayed on it like a champ A car is only as good as it's driver.
