Talk about a difference over stock!  The sound has changed ten fold and she screams at 3 grand. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'>   Hit it in second gear and she runs like a scorched dog.  If any of you have put off this mod for your SR (which I doubt you have) do it now.  I now have the baddest ride on my block...well power anyway <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/blush.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':blush:'>

The cone air filter I didn't notice a difference in power w/ though.  I installed the filter first (and it started to rain so I couldn't put the dp on) and took it out for a ride.  The sound changed a little bit but felt no power on the ass-o-meter so I was pretty disapointed but at least I got rid of the stock air box

Now comes the boost controller...well, when I get the money <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Pretty badass dude, how much was the downpipe? I was thinkin about one when I get my car back, or buy it now and have them put it on while the SR goes in.

nrcooled · 05-09-2002, 08:53 PM

The pipe was $169 off enjuku and seriously don't pay someone to do your monkey work.  It took me a total of like 45 mins to put it on (including rusty bolts and a smoke break).  A shop would charge you like $70 bucks to do that...save that money to have a hot boost controller installed or hell buy porn w/ it  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

SR20Fastback · 05-09-2002, 08:58 PM

Haha sounds like a plan, porn sounds good too. Do you have a new test pipe on there yet?? I was thinkin about this too as well as the down pipe. Not too sure if greddy makes one to match the size of the dp. Plus then I get rid of the cat and Ive got 3 inches all the way back <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

mistert · 05-09-2002, 09:04 PM

it shoudlnt be too hard to find one fabricated, people have sold htme on here before for like $25, or you could have a generic one made to size and have flanges welded on at a welding shop or something

nrcooled · 05-09-2002, 09:08 PM

If you go to heavy throtle they sell one for $119 but I would be weary of one for $25. The fitment of the Greddy was perfect and it used the stock hanger mount when the stock didn't (go figure) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>
Or you could say I was playing the name brand game but I am much more willing to pay extra for piece of mind then get a bargain that I will regret then still have to pay for the good stuff later <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>

SR20Fastback · 05-09-2002, 09:13 PM

Yeah, I totally forgot that HeavyThrottle made one. I'll start diggin the pennies out of the familes car ash-trays. Well thanks for the help man.

mistert · 05-09-2002, 09:15 PM

im talking about the test pipe for $25, not downpipe, that would definately be suspect. considering a test pipe is just a straight piece of pipe with 2 little flanges welded on that are a couple dollars, thats completely reasonable

I plan on just gutting mine for the time being but I definatly plan on getting the test pipe before I take her out for a track day(hopefully soon) <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

mistert · 05-09-2002, 10:48 PM

i've heard on several different occasions that gutting your cat actually drops HP, or at least low end torque, though i have also heard (mostly from the rx-7 guys) That it gives good power gains in turbo cars...not really sure which is the case, anyone care to spread some light on this?

and you can probably get a muffler shop to weld you up one real easy, or pick one up from pdm racing or something on the cheap

SR20Fastback · 05-09-2002, 10:51 PM

Im not too sure about gutting the cat, but my friend mike completely removed the cat and he said it added some nominal hp.

Was he running the SR?  I haven't gutted it yet because I am sooooo sick of pulling my exhaust apart <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>   I have heard you can get like 5-8hp gutting it or bypassing.

I'm going to leave it like it is and pick up the eliminator from HT

SR20Fastback · 05-09-2002, 10:58 PM

lol oops sorry forgot to mention its a Supra. Twin Turbo though, so I dont know if there would be a big difference. Although he did manage to pass emissions (here in WA) without the cat <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
