dude, brad. Don't take my post personally. I am not jawjacking you or anything. I merly pointed out that some business owners will not always point you in their direction. I know I wouldn't, especially if the customer wants something different. You are very helpful on scionlife and I cannot stress how much help you are to the norcal comunity.

squirrel

Keep playing your games, except you can do it w/ someone else now.

You mean, I was helpful to the Scion Community and to those in the Nor*Cal area!

Guest

You were and thats why I want you to stay with us. I am not playing games squirrel, I am trying to make things better between us.

squirrel

NO. Can you read w/o reading into posts? NO. NO, is NO. This is not Burger King and you can't always have things your way!

i dont want to get involved but by typing this i already involved myself.
but stylis has helped in so many wayz his expertize has help alot of us non-mechanical oriented scion owners--(like me )

example- i asked about gold lines and tanabe's ..i got the answers i need--he doesnt carry the tanabe but in the end thanks to his help i decided to go with the tanabe.
Now my next dilema is the exhuast.--imma go with the axle back, thanks to his help i decided to purchase the axle back vs. the cat back.

im sure you guyz can work something out. Represent the SE community with luv.

fuji--- the peace maker.

Whjat little loss that I noticed in the low end, show tremendous gains at 3,500 rpm and higher. No more lag during acceleration. Definitely a must do mod, header and muffler. I still retain the OEM downpipe and cats. But I have 2.25 inch exhaust from the cat back to the tip.

squirrel

Fuji, how would you feel if after a majority of your posts, one person comes along and makes snide remarks about you and your info?

This started when I became involved w/ SE from the start. Then I show up wearing an SE shirt to a meet, and his trashing talking begins. Then when I won a trophy, it starts again, then the next trophy, then featured ride, then the next two trophies, then the exhaust. I don't know if its jealously or what. But I have helped him in more ways than one. And this is the gratitude?

Its never ending, and I'm tired of it. So, I'm bailing and going to do my own thing from now on.

squirrel

You forgot about the part about being a Sponsor also. What kind of cheese did you want?

Fujiz_xb

i like american cheeeeeeeese.. benjamins that is.. squirrel i hear ya. that doesnt sound good. im not sure what might have trigged the troubles. overal..both of your cars are a piece of work. can i have a trophy?--j/k i hope earn one soon.. so gentle man..lets proceed with not trashing each other posts..im here for the same reasons..to learn--i never like it when somebody is rude to somebody else when they are only beign helpfull. so please fix the prob cause i always preach to peeps about the scion way..its always about luv and nothing else..espcially SE members...im out to lunch..

squirrel

Well, when both parties agree, then the other decides to re-neg and go back doing what they were, forget it.

You can have all of my trophies. Well, except the Scion Nights one.

Ok I have a question! I have just installed over the weekend the 5Zigen Fireball Axle-Back Exhaust and I felt it lost a little power in the low end and feels nice above 3000 rpm. I want to know what can I do to increase low end power.

squirrel

Sounds like its a little too free flowing to me. But then again, any info I post gets second guessed.

hotbox05

an axle back isn't really capable of too much flow. u could just cut the exhaust off at the axle back and it'd be fine. i think more than anything it's in his head. i mean if the 5zige used 3 inch piping it could be that but i doubt it. . hmm u only installed the axle back?

squirrel

Yeah, the exhaust sound alone is not a judge on power, loss or gain.

hotbox05

yeah alotta people (myself included) put somethin in/on my car and then think it made it worse or better subconscioly wow i have no idea how that's spelled. lol nm

TheScionicMan

In one of the magazine tests of some axlebacks, they dynoed an xB without a muffler and it lost 3HP.

I'll see if I can find the article...

Dewmerz

Just to take it out of the picture would you recommend he disconnect the battery to reset the ECU and then let it idle to relearn?

On the "it's in his head" thought. I swear my exhaust is popping less and I have better low end throttle response since I had the gas tank replaced. Go figure.

hotbox05

hey maybe. how long diud they take to get u the new tank? hmm but yeah i'd relearn the ecu just so you see results quicker. the ecu will learn it otherwise it will just take longer is all.

squirrel

Brian, or you can just disconnect the fuse in the fuse box. Mikochu posted a FAQ on it.
