what do you guys think, would it be good to have these on a Turbo rx7 running straight pipes, help build some low end torque?


i know these would be good on N/A cars though

 

i think chrome tips look great
but i think if you have stock or small pipes and you put on a big tip and it sticks out like a sore thumb it looks like ****
i have a chrome tiped exhaust on my car but my exhaust is large in diamitor

 

oh and NO they will not improve power what so ever. in fact they will slow you down because they must weagh about a half a pound
lol but thats the truth

 

I would be worried about anything that's merely a valve, and claims to lower emissions. I mean, seriously.. it's a butterfly valve (look at the cutaway), yet it claims:

Why isn't this done on stock cars if it gives you that much of an improvement in fuel milage, emissions, and apparently no HP/TQ loss? I'm sure mazda could have engineered a butterfly valve for the exhaust system

 

Is it just my puter, or does everyones puters show certain words in this thread that are green "links" and you click on them and they take you to advertising???? Ive never seen this here before.

 

JUNK! inline with those "tornadoes", their all gimmicks to take your cash. Also, any restriction in the exhaust of a turbo car will KILL power in the entire rev range. "Backpressure" and smaller pipes will not only kill top end , but kill bottom end and slow turbo spool up.

It's not just your computer. It's an embedded advertising script that Ryan is running on the website, to help pay the bills.

 

oh ic... Its kinda annoying. but i guess if it helps pay the bills... Having a domain name and server space has gotta be costing $30/year. Breakin the bank!

 

i second that!!!! hell i triple taht...its just a gimmick BUT supposedly the tornado HAS DYNO SHEETS WHOA DANG!!!!!!!!...lol

 

Haha... yeah... That's about accurate, give or take 1000 a month for the bandwidth/dedicated redundant servers that this place uses..

Either way, this isn't the place for the cost analysis of the Rx-7 club

 

$1000 a month??? lol, if it was that expensive there would be NO such thing as internet sites.

 

You do realize that this isn't exactly a family pictures website right? This is a 69,000+ member site with somewhere between 500 and 1000 on at any given time of day or night. Each one of those 500-1000 people are getting a completely dynamically generated page, pulled from a database in real time, interpreted to HTML by the PHP in real time, with everything as trivial as "New posts" and "new threads" and the time generated on the fly. Every time one of those people loads a page this happens. We're talking hundreds of gigabytes of transfer a month, if not into terabytes.

and yes, I know to run your own website it's dirt cheap, I have a couple that I run off of my computers at home, little family picture sites using apache/php. It costs me ~18 bucks a year in DNS fees to do that. I wouldn't want to host any higher volume off of my house line, though. Of course, I don't have redudant servers, or load balancers. I don't even have hot swap reduntant drives with auto error detect/correction or data rebuild ability. I'm sure they add a bit to the cost.

 

I understand that there is probably some cost involved. But $1000 per month? Thats just BS. There is no way anyone would be dumb enough to run a "free to the public" site when its costing $1000/month to keep it up. Im not debating that someone is spending money to keep this site up, but filling it with advertising is just annoying as hell. Why not make a "donate via paypal" link where people can donate a few bucks.

I have seen MANY people that got their problems fixed thanks to the people on this forum. And im sure they would have been more than happy to donate a couple bucks for the help.

 

everytime I see your post title "what do you think about these?" and then your SN being RX7WHORE, I laugh out loud....

If you have stock mufflers, why put tips on them, dont they kind of already have tips?
