Please forgive this seemingly dumb question, because I'm definitely no grease monkey...I know enough about engines to understand how turbochargers, superchargers, and cold air intakes increase horsepower, but how exactly does a sport muffler increase power?

 

it does not add tha 100hp. everyone is looking for ,but it will free up your exhaust a little bit,a little less backpressure,but some pipes are loud and will attract tha ear of mr. man. maybe a couple of hp gain,hope this helps, and also my thought.

 

The sport muffler realeses the amount of restriction for air flow allowing the motor to breathe easier. The more flow the better the motor will react, but too much flow and you will actually lose power. I hope this helps.

 

That makes perfect sense, thanks :o

 

Your welcome. Thats what I am here for.

 

very little in my opionion

 

only if that is the only power adder/ power freer-upper. lol

 

I'd like to see a DYNO run like this but with diff mufflers (or muffler & intake combination):

Will the engine lose any low-end torque due to higher flow exhaust?

 

Kong check this article out...

Thanks for info. According to the chart, it does lose some low-end torque when installed the DC exhaust...

 

Oops, I made a wrong comment. It was the header that lose the low-end torque.. .

 

It is usually best to talk to peeps who have tried different systems. Some "experts" will give you some information that may not always be of help, but it will help these "experts" who work/own buinesses w/ sales.

 

yeah lol. i've run many exh setups on various cars so i and or brad can give an un-biased opinion.

 

Just because a person runs a business, does not mean they can't give an un-biased opinion. I have sent plenty of people to different systems.

 

Here we go AGAIN...........................................................

 

I have seen a lot of systems too and when the customer wants something specific that I don't carry. Thats when i send them to the right system, I am here to help people on scionlife.

 

Gabe, did I mention you in my post? No I did not! Stop playing me for a fool on Scion Life and acting like you are some kind of "expert" here.

I said I wouldn't make comments to your posts and here YOU GO AGAIN!

GROW UP! And stop this foolishness!

 

squirrel, I felt the post was geared towards me and I am sorry if you think I am playing you the fool, but I am not. And I am an expert in exhaust systems and mufflers. I am sorry if you don't think I am.

 

Yeah whatever Gabe. I didn't see any mention of Precision Muffler, Stylis, or Gabe in my thread. Do you!?! Maybe YOU ARE READING INTO THINGS? Its all good, cuz I'm thru w/ you, the games you play here on Scion Life, and everything. I'm out of this site and will only use this site for SE purposes and for communicating w/ MY FRIENDS!

See my post about the Applebees Roll Call!
