i didnt want to go single because of the look of duals... and its only a 30 pound difference in my setup so its not worth it for something i wont like as much ... ive just been stuck on duals since ive had any car.... thanks ceipherz for the compliment

 

nm link still works

 

ok for you saying they are baby flames... how about these i just took?

holy crap man my speakers where turned up because of something I was watching early today and then your movie downloaded and almost blew my speakers and woke up my daughter

 

whats the test pipe? did u have to do anything with the aux ports with that setup, wire them or something like that?

 

test pipe is just a straight piece of pipe that goes in place of the cats... like a presilencer minus the silencing part lol .... and ya i have my ports wired open for now... they are coming out when i port the manifolds in a week or two

 

How the hell did you get that flame....looks like a damn jet. I have 3" piping all the way back to y pipe then 2.5" to the 4" tips...I get baby flames even though my car is running wayy rich. i want big flames too.

 

well my theory goes like this..... if you have a large pipe then the flame will spread out and be short and fat... but if it is a smaller pipe then it will be long and narrow... my tips are 3 inch but the inside of my muffler is about 2 inches so my flames come out more narrow and longer as when yours would come out of a larger radius and be short and fat....

does that theory make sense or should i just go to bed now?

 

ummmm....well crap. at least you ahve a theory
i dont have any idea

 

oh and running rich doenst always mean more flames

if you run to rich you run colder and the pipes dont warm up as much from what i have heard

 

my pipes are hot enough to burn the hell outta my leg when i stand next to em =/

 

just what i heard...... do your flames look like the ones in my vid or bigger?

 

Nice vid

 

sounds good.

 

That's cool. Sounds identical to mine.

 

Where are the aux ports, can someone show me a picture or tell me where they are, cuz i might want to wire them open when i get my new exhaust.

 

the aux ports are right above the exhaust manifold... tha acuators are down there (two bell looking objects) that swivel a hook up and down... if you remove the acuators (4 bolts) and swivel the arm into the 6:00 position and wrap some wire around it to hold it at that postion you have open ports.... if your ports are stuck or something they will be hard to rotate so you might have to work with it a bit

 

Where did u get the magnoflow exhaust tips? Website?

 

Have it in any other format besides QuickTime? I don't do Apple products.

Also, your avatar looks disturbingly like my ex-girlfriend...

 

 

lol know whats sad... that girl just dumped me on monday... thanks for the reminder i need to change that avatar.... and no only quicktime

the magnaflow mufflers i got at a exhaust shop here in town... if you want ill try to find the part number for them

 

To the guy wondering why Japanese racing games have backfire on shifts...

Backfiring systems are fuel maps that dump fuel on quick throttle let-off... the fuel doesn't burn, makes it to the exhaust and explodes because of the heat in the headers. The explosion gives the turbo an extra boost, keeps it going.

So it's basically an anti-lag system that keeps the turbo spooled even when the driver lets off the gas for a second. Of course it's at the cost of all the parts mentioned above, which all fail much faster due to the explosions they're exposed to.

Only hardcore fairly short term racers use them... they use them in rally a LOT because they just replace the parts with brand new ones ANYWAY for the sake of not having a part fail on a stage.

It would be pretty stupid to actually have this in your car IRL.. you'd be changing turbos every time you got gas and blowing holes in your headers constantly... otherwise, the RX-7's backfiring does look awesome.

When my car was running the TPS wasn't doing its' job and was dumping fuel causing the backfire... I got a great feeling thinking about what the people I just passed must be thinking when they see the quick flame and pop when I shift hahaha. ;D

I know what a backfiring system does (which is keep the turbo spooled when you let off the gas), but I didn't know how they worked, or what they were (the fuel map), so thanks.

I've seen some Skylines on the C1 highway that backfired a lot, and the guy I went there with said they had a backfiring system, but I really wondered about that...

And high-performance NA engines backfire just as much, so it seems... even if they don't have fuel-maps intented to cause backfires.

I guess it's a good excuse as any to get rid of your catalytic converters... hehe.

Would you see backfires on a high-flow converter at least?
