i hope this is a joke haha

Corollas are no laughing matter. This one smoked me just the other day!

Oh no! I'm smoked!

Just got notified from my installer that my FI exhaust just came in (had it shipped there) I was #608. Got it a little earlier than promised.
Cannot wait to get it installed on Friday!

if any one is questioning the low end torque i'd have to suggest checking out the dyno sheets that Tony has posted of the CBE and compare numbers.

I think it's because I'm barely pressing the gas untill at least 100-150 miles. I can't wait to floor it

Can't wait for this thing to go on. Just can't freaking wait.

why the wait?

fiber glass break in

Ya. It was a joke. I'm noticing some crazy things that some Corolla drivers are trying to do with me it's annoying but that's for another thread.

Seriously --- jungleZ - you gain. Very noticeable. I wish I can dyno some day. For now, Brain and Butt dyno says so.

You can floor it occasionally. Nothing wrong with a little cheating.

#607 delivered today. If i can find a shop open this sat I will have it installed then, otherwise it wont go on until I get back in a few weeks.

I mentioned that I plan to get the FI system to the wife shortly after I got my Z, and a complaint about the increased noise is the only thing she had to say about it. So, I am taking that as "permission". My Eclipse had a CBE and was significantly louder than stock and she didn't care to ride in it when we went out and left the kid at home.

Once I get the necessary funds squirreled away, I am placing my order. She can deal with the noise, or I will miss her on "date night", a little.

I have had the exhaust on for about a week and a half now and I think I'm really feeling the loss of low end torque. It's very sluggish in low RPMs and in fact I'm not sure if this is related or not but my car (7AT) is having trouble holding the RPMs in any gear at lower RPMs.

The RPMs for example will be around 3.5k in 4th, then if I slightly let off the throttle it just dips to 2k and under as if I was holding in a clutch on a manual car rather than gradually descend as it would or should normally. That happens in almost every gear. This is my first mod. Is what I'm feeling the loss of low end torque or maybe some other issue my car maybe having with the gears and holding low RPMs? The car is 2013 2,000 miles on it.

I have a 7AT as well and that rpm drop you talk of I never noticed. I'm actually gonna play with mine tomorrow to see if I see the same. It may not be an exhaust issue but maybe tranny issue.

I have almost 14k miles on my FI exhaust and I don't feel I loss any torque and any end of the spectrum. If low end torque was lost I highly doubt it to where as with VDC off I can spin tire with the 7AT just by slamming the gas and not even holding any brake. Even when I am at the drag strip I spin off the line with added traction that is sprayed on the track and then chirp at 2nd and then I'm gone lol

Regardless to my personal experience I will play around with rpm drop that you are having tomorrow maybe even take some vids since I sit in traffic to and from work and typically have a little fun to occupy my time anyways lol

There's such a thing? Lol
