that should be no problem at all =) stillen claims 54whp or something like that with that 3-combo if you used all of their parts.

As far as the boosted aspect, it seems I am getting nowhere with you on that one so I will concede for now.

I agree with that. It's just not easy for a daily driver to put all his stock stuff back on to do a dyno run. I also don't see someone with berk HFC's already getting a 20 whp gain by adding an FI exhaust. You are talking a 35+hp gain then, and if that's the case then sign me up for that combo
as far as more power goes, dyno calibration and conditions can play a pretty big factor there. Again, I agree the number from Berk being so far apart isn't as credible as yours, but it was the same car at the same dyno shop so I can't discredit their effort in getting accurate numbers. If you and berk both send me catback and HFC's I'd be glad to hit the dyno for an all-day session comparing the 2 and then I'd send em back, but I don't think you guys will be up for that, lol. Plus you probably have someone much more local that could help out if you wanted to do a head-to-head. With the forced induction, I have a point of reference for that number based on personal experience between a crush-bent muffler shop job in 2 1/4" piping compared to a 3" Blitz Nur spec turbo exhaust which was only a 6 whp gain on 12psi of boost in an SR20det. If the boost on this 6-cylinder responds that much differently to it's exhaust, I'd be glad to say I am wrong...I'm just going off of my personal experience right now. Quote:

Re: the Berk and FI results, it's all apples and oranges anyways due to different dynos and different environmental conditions really, not to mention the whole HFC vs Stock issue. They're both performing pretty well though.

So...what is lower, the FI exhaust, or the chin spoiler?
Or, preferrably, how high off the ground is the lowest part of the exhaust, and where are the low-points located? |

The only concern I have about the FI's clearance is that the front of the can-style mufflers could catch on an obstacle like a speed bump or even a really crappy road.
I had side pipes on one of my Mustangs and ripped the right side pipe off when it caught on a speed bump... I would be inclined to weld some sort of cover down there to prevent this from happening (if it's really going to be an issue.)

I know I'm careful no matter what, but the only concern I have is when you run into a similar situation as I did when I went into the city (NYC) and enter a strip of road that had warped pavement (looks like the road is dried up lava, with waves in it) and unfortunatly I couldnt avoid all of these 'waves' and I went over one right down the middle where no tires lifted up and BAM caught some of the cross-member/exhaust....
That was both scary and blood boiling mad, but luckily, no dmg was done, just some scuffs...but man I wouldnt want to run into that with this exhaust and have that ripp a whole in those canisters. Especially if your riding around as low as I am...

yo everybody should really stop comparing the results between berks and FI...
different cars, different dyno, different methods, different everything...also one has stock intakes the other has stillen G3.... common now... oh and both are not independent tests... Last edited by sylenze; 07-23-2009 at 07:54 PM. |
