maybe you should work on your grammer. Your post is kinda hard to read

draxcaliber

you didn't lose any torque or power, the car just sounds louder now at all rpms so it sounds like it is working harder to perform the same as it used to. so the car didn't lose power, it is just louder. you fail at grammer hard.

OK ill explain again.i have a 06 scion xa manual.24k miles on it.yesterday a local shop instaled a axel-back custom exhause.it has a greate sound i love it but the car feels like it lost torque.i dnt kno what went wrong in them installing it that the car now feels like it has less torque on low rpms.anyone kno or can explain why i lost torque? i dnt kno the brand of the exhaust all i kno is 4" tip.... if you can understand what im saying i dnt kno what to tell you lmao.thanx for the help in advance.

again, car should not of lost any torque with just an axelback exhaust install. the car is just louder, so at all engine speeds and throttle positions, it sounds like it is working harder

to give you an idea, when i had full 3 inch custom built exhaust on my car, and i lost less than one pound-foot of torque. there is no way you could lose a noticible amount of torque with just an axleback exhaust kit, even on a tiny xa engine.

jct

what kind of muffler?

RICANPAPI_16

thanks for the answer.makes me feel better cuz scion xa with 103 hp and small engine not a fast car at all and would suck if the car would had lost any kinda of power cuz of the axel-back exhaust. and the exhaust is magna-flow something like that. next up for my car is cold air intake. i'll make a new thread if anything goes wrong and i need help lol. thanx again.

jct

heh with a cai it'll make it feel like it lost even more power :-/ get a SRI instead

RICANPAPI_16

whats a SRI? the cold air intake i bought off ebay will arrive at my house in like 2 days.i hope i dnt loose any kind of power with it.sinces is a cheap brand.is a BOMZ cai.

jct

good news is you can have both in that intake set up SRI = short ram intake...

try running the first half of the intake for a few days to see how you like it...

RICANPAPI_16

yeah the one i ordered is a BOMZ cold air intake for my xa.i dnt kno sht about cars as you can read but i hope the intake dnt make my xa loose power or torque lol.if anything i want gains lol.but i wont kno till i get it on tuesday.im just hopeing for the best.
