Free Flow Down Pipe S40-V40 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Anthony on  Sun Jan 21 03:46 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Yesterday, I removed the cat and now I have a free flow downpipe. I can't say it has done that much for performance for my car, due too having a full cat back already. One thing I was very worried about the check engine light coming on! But with Carlos leading the way I took the leap of faith :) Every thing is working like a charm.

800-1800rpm seems faster.

1800-4500rpm remains the same.

4600-6200rpm has seemed to increase in power.

Maybe 5-10hp more. hey every little bit help :)Not Dynoed, just a feeling.

It should yield more power once I get my chip this Tuesday. Let hope they come threw this time.

Also the loudness has increased somewhat! Deeper tone at idle and at WOT I get a more performance sound. I wonder once I get my Chip is the extra Hp going to make it louder? Guess I'll have to wait a few more day!

Hope to get Tint this up coming week!
