Whoever it is, I would like some more info. Any sound clips while driving the car?
Unfortunately the search function is unavailable at this time.

 

it was Lou (LSM).

 

I have a few Lou's cargraphic, I'll upload em tomrw. Sounds awesome at WOT.

 

Here is the link to the cold start, haven't done any drive-bys, but, I can tell you, I honestly think it is the best sounding exhaust with little resonance inside and loud, mean, and agressive sounding outside the car. I let ShankGT2 drive my car today, and I couldn't believe how good it sounded.

Right click and "save target as"

As far as other clips, Shankgt2 has some, but, I do not think the quality is that great. Traffic, trains going by, no drive-bys, no WOT runs, etc. Shank, maybe I should come down for lunch tommorrow and we can do some runs on those isolated streets by your bros? Let me know, I hate work anyway

 

Can't think of a better way to spend lunch in the frigid temps of the antarctic than record video clips of exhaust notes. I'm in!

 

Sweet. Post 'em ASAP! I'm still trying to make up my mind and would love to hear some drive bys of Lou's car.

 

BTW, Shank, honestly, how would you rate the sound of my exhaust?

Lou

 

sounds unbelievable!!!

 

What time? Remember, you should probably tell me at least 45 minutes prior to the actual time you want to meet or I will for sure be late, always trying to squeeze in one more thing

 

Yes, I thought it could have been him, thanks

Great, I'd like to hear them!

Yes, it does, even from your start-up clip. Thanks for the repost. Now for some questions....
I still can't access Cargraphic's website to get more info. Can you list their telephone number? Have they been in business long? How's their customer support/ service? How long of a wait was it to receive your exhaust from them? Can you mention approx pricing? How about "claimed" additional horsepower and torque figures from them? Can you feel a difference? How about build quality vs Europipe?

Hopefully you can answer these, as I'm sure other members would like to know as well.
It would be an added benefit for you to record more clips with ShankGT2 also. I'm Looking forward to it!

 

LSM,

Did you have this exhaust when you dynoed your car?

 

Yup. Also, StephenTI who has an Upsolute Chip had the Cargraphic Super Sound on his car at our dyno day. He dynoed at:

RWHP 455hp
RWTQ 505 lb/ft

Corrected Flywheel numbers, with StephenTI's comments:
to calculate for the correction factor, you are suppose to divide your measured power by (1.0 - correction factor). So, in my case, using a correction factor of 15%, you get:

454.9 RWHP = (454.9 / .85) crank hp = 535 Crank HP
504.8 RWtq = (504..8 / .85) crank hp = 594 Crank Tq

For you proof geeks, the correction ratio is multiplied by the crank hp to get resultant whp, therefor, to derive the crank from the whp, one must divide the whp by the correction factor to get crank. QED.

Lou

 

Hp and torque are 21 a piece increase, although, I heard they just did a test in Germany between several exhausts, Cargraphic being one as well as Fabspeed and the Cargraphic gained the most HP----27.

Cargraphic Usa is the US distributer for Cargraphic Germany which is an extremely reputable company. They equip race teams and Gemballa uses their exhaust on all their cars as well.

To purchase in the US, contact Hershel at cargraphicusa. 732-826-1002. Aforementioned US Distributer. Stay tuned for more sound clips.

Lou

 

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I'll be checking out those sites. I'll give Hershel a call soon too. Can you mention the retail price they charge?

I'lll be looking out for your sound clips

 

Did some taping, not the best quality, but, will post tommorrow. At minimum it will give you a good idea of sound even if film quality not great.

As far as price, I have no idea what retail is, I belive it is like $4800-$4900. Don't pay retail.

Lou
