Am I missing something or has nobody made an s-pipe for the tc2 other than descendant ? In the dezod green header thread Paul says they'll be making one in 3 months. That was a lot more than 3 months ago. Is it just because the stock s-pipe is not restrictive enough to matter ?

Ya I found that after on Google. The link in the thread doesn't work. May as well delete this thread lol.

Lol yeah. And it will be a good way to squeeze every drop of power out of your top-end. Your low-end will suffer a bit though.

HOODedDutchman

Why would the bottom end suffer as long as you still have a catted header to provide adequate back pressure ?

Just going to a 2.5" cat-back took some oomph out of my bottom end. When I got rid of it and reinstalled the factory exhaust it actually felt like an upgrade. Not in sound of course...the car seemed eerily quiet.

HOODedDutchman

So catback exhaust actually loses power is what ur saying lol.... awesome.

Nooooo don't misunderstand me. It felt nice anywhere above 3500-4000rpm. It pulled nicely when you really got into it. But when driving normally around town it was sluggish. I do admit the factory exhaust doesn't pull as hard near redline... But I don't drive like that very often.

Lol I would agree with that.

I haven't gotten my intake parts yet but I have a feeling with my catback it's going to breath a lot more once they're here. S pipe at 300 is kind of ridiculous Imo. I only paid slightly more for my entire catback. Maybe I'll stumble on a used 1 one day.

I have a greddy s-pipe but thats because it came with the full catback. If that helps any.

The thread I posted up top has a working link.

EDIT: haha nevermind i see what you guys are talking about

So is the picture of the s pipe just a generic picture or is it the actual product. Does anyone have it ? From what I see the stock one has a flexible donut seal at both ends. The one in the picture shows a solid mount at 1 end and the other end having the flexible donut gasket I'm talking about. I suppose it would be possible to remove the donut seal at the exhaust manifold and replace it with a flat solid seal. ????

HOODedDutchman

Wtf the racing solution picture of it mounted shows springs for a donut seal at the same end that shows a flat mount in the picture of the s pipe by itself.

KidJustin

just email Brian. he will answer all you're questions
