This past weekend here in NC we had the largest car show on the east coast other than the NOPI nationals---> Freak Show presented by DropJawMag.com

Paul, best known as firesquare here on S/L came along with me this weekend. They had a dyno there which you could have 3 runs for $60. Paul, being sponsored by strup, put his box up on the dyno to see what the exhaust would gain.


Never had a baseline, but most baselines here on the site are basically identical. So now here's what paul pulled:

Of the 3 runs, his best was---> 97.8whp and 102wtq w/ only the exhaust.--> Factory header, factory airbox


He has the dyno sheets with him, but his computer's taken a poop. As soon as he gets his computer up and running he'll post the dyno sheets.

 

With that said and done, people with stock baselines, post up #'s

 

auto or manual scion?

 

had to be a manual with that much power.

 

I've seen stock around 83 hp at the wheels.

 

yeah firesquare's profile says trd sports shifter and modified air box. mmmm...makes me wonder now.

 

oh it was pauls car? i didnt read the post just the numbers. lol....

yes he has mods.... and a manual....


hayalex stock autos might have that low of hp... most manuals have between 92whp and 96 whp.

 

Aight, cause 2 dynos that were on some manufacture's sites were aorund 83.

Why the hell would someone brag about their own product on slushbox?

 

Manual

 

All he has is the strup 2.0 exhaust, trd quickshifter, and ran an open airbox on the dyno

 

makes me think that theres somthing wrong with my box i made 94hp and 102 ftlbs with a injen intake perrin pully and blitz exhaust

 

Paul had the blitz exhaust before the strup, and it sounded like teh garbage

 

any exhaust can sound good or bad. u can get a 10 dollar ebay muffler to sound good. trust me i've done it. lol.

 

i do agree i dont like the way the exhaust sounds i have been thinking about getting the strup exhaust but money is tight and so many others have it i like to be a little different the rest which is really my only problem with the strup

 

get custom exhaust. save lots and lots of money and make it however you like

 

i have toyed with that idea cause i have a custom exhaust on my celica didnt really save any money thue i spent over 200 on a muffler and about 350 for the exahust pipe from the cat back in 2 1/2 inch exhaust and mandrel bent

 

mandrel bent is a waste of money.... and 2oo on a universal muffler? wow. either you like spending money or someone screwed you over BIG time.

stuff doesnt have to cost alot to be good. contrary to what people think. i have opverpaid for alot of name brand this and name brand that. and a much cheaper slightly less reliable or durable product has always been a much better deal to me.

weigh out the pro's and con's can you'll probably find out the same. unless you're a couture brand *****. which i know alot of peeps are nowadays.

if then good luck...

 

the muffler was an apexi n1 muffler and the only reason i bought it was i couldnt find one just like it the tips on the cheaper ones were 2 big or 2 small and the way i look at it for most things is you get what you pay for
