Hi, How's the seat of the pants feel between the cats and delete pipes?

 

To be honest, as you know, your car just starts feeling slow after you get used to the last round of mods. It's not a huge difference IMO, my car was tuned without the cats. If I had to guess, probably around 30HP give or take 5-10. I'm at 1.1 bar.

 

I had two open codes, and the smog techs told me one was the max here in CA.
My guy checked the codes with his hand held reader before even connecting it to the actual smog tester. The secondary air and cat codes were not ready, so I took it in to get them cleared. After that, I was good to go.
The open cat code you have doesn't necessarily mean you have a flash installed.
You should be fine.

 

I've been on many car forums before and I have to say that you guys have exceeded my expectation. Knowledgeable and a class act. Even the guys that emailed me to sell me an exhaust have gone above and beyond, recommending specifics outfits to help me out. Definitely makes me feel privileged to join this community.

ECS Tuning - she's got just under 31k on your odo. As far as I can tell, she's got Bilstein PSS10s, D2 Forged VS1 wheels, and the aforementioned Fabspeed exhaust. And most importantly, looks like she came off the showroom floor inside and out.

I'm going to give the smog a shot this weekend and will let you guys know how it turns out.

 

Thanks, I would imagine only about 25 HP mostly in the beginning of spool and until it fully kicks in to max boost,, but I could be wrong, maybe 24..LOL..
Also hows the sound difference in the cab? , noticeably louder inside with the cat deletes?

 

Definitely louder with the cat deletes, which I actually prefer with the Speedtech 2.5 X Flow, otherwise it's too quiet. I don't daily drive the car, so I prefer the more aggressive sound.
