Second installment of 3rd gear intermediate times.

For reference the car is a MY00, the first set of times are Magnex BB, K&N panel. The second set are Magnex BB, DP, K&N panel, HKS plugs and an intercooler splitter. Each run time is the average of 10 runs. All runs 3rd gear.

1st 1500-2500 3.30 sec 2000-5000 6.54 sec 3000-5000 5.17 sec

2nd 1500-2500 3.29 sec 2000-5000 6.27 sec 3000-5000 4.92 sec

so through the ranges the downpipe has made 0% difference, 4.13% and 4.84% respectively. Slightly unscientific but pretty reliable all the same. There you have it downpipes do make a difference for those who doubted!

 

I was always under the impression that DP provides more torque and normally more power - so I think I'd expect that kind of increase

 

I'm having a Link fitted by BRD next weekend so standbye for the next installment. What I would also like to do is try and draw some correlation between real world performance i.e %time increases with rolling road graphs. Over to you John Banks for your thoughts on this one lol.

Glad you're happy with the DP!!!

Im still finding out all the details on the TMI's for you, I'll be in touch during the week!

Speak to you later!
