I'm pretty used to working with not too much space but you really don't need that much.
When you take off the stock downpipes, you can maneuver them out without letting the ground get in the way.

Are you running a piggyback with the DPs?

SROC3 · 08-25-2007, 02:09 PM

about how far away from your face was the splash shield? id say under the coupe where the DPs are is maybe 6 inches at most, so theres maybe a foot or so of clearance to the ground

I don't know exactly but whatever I had was all I needed.
I took the family out today and those turbos are spooling so fricken quick!

Not with the boost, but I have AtoFs and dyno plots.
I called my friend today to see if I could swing by to do a couple dyno runs but he didn't have time.
I guess I'll do it next weekend.

Fantastic work Mr. 5 you seem to be a good DIYer. Cant wait for your dyno results

Hallandale E92 · 08-25-2007, 09:45 PM

anyone have a soundclip...?

badass335 · 08-25-2007, 09:54 PM

Just curious if you are running an exhaust system with the downpipes as well and which ones you picked if you are?
Thanks

I see that you have the secondary cats deleted. You're not getting in any check engine lights with the high flow catted dp's, correct? Any guess to emissions? bad smelling exhaust?

No CELs.
It smells fine.

lumpy · 08-26-2007, 04:08 AM

Good work.

I notice the factory dumps have a flexible coupling in them. It will be interesting to see how these and other aftermarket pipes go long term with regards to manifold stud breakages and such. Most stock inline twin turbo systems have flexible joints in them for a reason. If they didnt need to be there they'd save $5 a car anyday!
