interesting results: stinger vs 3" mac

[FuShnickens]

first off, let me apologize for not having the dynosheet. i had the wrong one printed out before leaving superior and since most of you guys know me, hopefully you won't give me too much grief. ;-)

as you know, i recently went from a 3" mac catback (part #tk3499) to the borla stinger. i dyno'd the car 8/29 w/ the mac and today w/ the stinger. i can't remember the torque differences - i imagine tq went up w/ the stinger since it went from a 3" to a 2.5" system but i don't have the numbers. here are the rwhp numbers:

* lost 6hp off the peak going to the stinger
* gained 12hp over the mac between 2k-4500rpm

of course it's a different day, time, temp, etc. so take it fwiw.

Yeah id say the 3" helped a bit on the top end. But 6off the peak is nothing u cant fix......loss some weight on the stomach. Oh im sorry ur not fat or any thing like that


J/K but i do think the 3" helps on the top end.

 

[FuShnickens]

:lol: i could probably deal w/ losing a few pounds. the guy that got like 45hp or some other ungodly number from the stinger must've had his stock exhaust pipes pinched off or something. adam suggested i check for any leaks. everything seemed pretty tight and i did feel around the connections while idling, but revving the car like he suggests would definitely show them.

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Can u smell it? I remember having a leak on the Headers before & that was totally noticeable.

But the sound of the stinger is pretty cool ;-) Now with the ProChamber damn

 

[FuShnickens]

Come on Allan.

U have a Daily Driver so u dont really have to worry toooo much..

ahh no more from me. Dont want to be responsible for any thing

 

[FuShnickens]

doh, called up mac to get the correct part number but the prochamber apparently doesn't fit the 03 correctly because of the t56 crossmember or some such. i guess it's the bassani or magnaflow xpipe instead.

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Bassani with not Cats ;-) & Mil Eliminators for 260.00 or so to the door.

Now that would be loud
Allan check ur PM. Maybe u can sell him ur Mac Cat Back ?

 

[FuShnickens]

i put another stinger vid clip up here. i'll try to do a before and after w/ the offroad x.

 

[FuShnickens]

YES! got a confirmation from mac that part# pc9900 will fit the 03 cobra and my hookup scored me the last one in stock. prochamber's going on this afternoon baby!!!

ps - i know everybody's pretty much set w/ exhaust stuff, but if you're in the market for any mac stuff and are in socal, pm me.

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Hey cool vid. Yeah u need to get it a bit louder

Mac Was def louder on the rollers but it might be missguiding on a vid u have :shrug:

Prochamber? I thougth ur getting hooked up with the Xpipe?
Hum....damn guess ur taking the title of being the loudest :thumbsup:

 

[FuShnickens]

i think the camera mic takes out alot of the bass - it sounds more "midrangy". the mac was def louder in the low-mid area but then it gets a little quieter up around 5k rpm.

yeah i was gonna get my buddy's x-pipe off his '99 cobra but when i got the confirmation from mac i called him up and cancelled. i felt bad so maybe i'll take him out to lunch or something. ;-)

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Oh Damn......so if i get my clutch deal can u swing by XMP this saturday?

 

[FuShnickens]

fo sheezy. btw, just got done putting on the prochamber and fired it up. scared the crap outta me - it's f'n LOUD. vid/review to follow...

 

[Poisonous Mods]

I want to hear ;-)

Damn....cant wait

 

[FuShnickens]

ok, here's the vid:

prochamber w/ stinger

sorry about the siren in the background - i think the noise police were looking for me. anyway, the audio just doesn't do it justice; the highest i revved it was 4500rpm.

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Damn....i cant wait to hear it for my self dude :beer:

Yeah im sure ur car will be louder then mine ;-)

 

[FuShnickens]

i haven't driven it enough to know if i like it or not. the tone definitely got deeper in the low-mid rpm and it has gotten a little raspier. it's hard to explain. anyway, are you going to xmp on saturday? if so, i'll bring it by so you can hear it.

 

[Poisonous Mods]

Yeah i'll know more tomorrow ;-)

Hope that its good news

 

[FuShnickens]

ok, went out for a little ride and now i'm thinking that the car's TOO loud (if there is such a thing). shit. maybe it seems worse cuz it's later at night and there isn't much other noise...
