well heres an update with the car. the got everything running, tossed it on the dyno with exhaust at 340whp at 14psi. they opened the cutout and dyno'd 440whp at 14psi. so they say my exhaust is crap. i dont get how tho... my exhaust has to be the least restrictive... custom 3" no mufflers, cutout replaced the cat, and i have 2 resonators after the cutout.. thats all! i just thought id share that. there going to crank the boost up and hit 500whp with ease.

loss of 100horse just from an exhaust? my ass. to me it sounds like they had the wrong tune to begin with....then they just wanted to impress you by just a flick of a switch 100horse....so they put the good tune in it.

do you believe everything you hear?

Heres off clubgp.

Tengis-The only difference being the exhaust and it was 100hp?

Matt M-The exhaust is defective as it appears to have a serious restriction. I was troubleshooting for a couple hours trying to figure out why this car wouldn't make any power. I finally decided to open the cutout to see what happens. WHP jumped from 342 to 441. [/b]

Im not sure about 100hp but it is possible to gain alot over his exhaust. If its crush bent then it could be down to way less than 3 inches in places plus its been proven that some resonators can cause serious loss in catbacks. I know for example a car that dave norris(trannyman) was working on was getting kr on a 3 different pulley sizes at about the same number on a setup that should easily be able to run those sizes. It was also short on power to. So its very possible to gain numbers close to that. With a turbo the size you are running makes it more possible. The change in spool time and restriction does alot. 440whp at 14psi is very impressive tho. :D

So they tell you your exhaust is taking away 100HP and want to sell you a cat-back? Sounds like a hustle to me because you will buy anything they say you need.

I will buy anything they say i need? you dont say... Ill pull up the invoice ZZP sent me. about 99% of that list is what i told them I wanted, not what they said i should get. screw that. you might want to watch what you say when its not true. Unlike others on this board i can sure back my stuff up.

Im just saying that 100HP loss from the exhast sounds like some bullshit. Something they would tell you to get you to buy there exhaust system. Since you already spent tons of money with them, maybe they figure whats another few hundred to you.

With Shaun's car it's quite believable. If you guys remember he dynoed previously at ZZP with the Cartuning kit and put down some very unimpressive numbers. They originally suspected the TC so I swapped it out for him and apparently they had lower than expected numbers with the new setup too. With just about everything changed the only two remaining suspects would be the transmission and the exhaust.
