wouldn't it be smarter then for trd to make a s/c for the car instead of a turbo because of the low-end power losses on these mods.

read the second post from the top on this subject. It will work, and use a screwdriver to help pry it off.

there is a very fine gasket that sticks to the pipe. Sometimes it doesn't move when the muffler is removed so just put on the new muffler. :D

I can't see why. If the intake is a shorter length runner you might lose some low end. Some are short, some aren't.

less backpressure leading to less low rpm power? Our engines have absolutely zero overlap at low rpms, backpressure should have nothing to do with it.

first of all, nobody has shown me evidence that low end is lost with these mods.


second of all, what good is low rpm power?

Go out and buy an exhaust, bolt it on.....try it out and you will see what EVERYONE means.

I agree. I started off with a injen intake that made good power through the entire range. I put on a 5zigen exhaust and though I wouldn't say I lost low end, the differece in power wasn't too noticable until you start to hit the 4000 - 5000 rpm mark. The power starts to hit in the mid to top end. At least that has been my experience.

Yeah, haven't seen any dyno results yet. Low end power (more specifically referring to torque) gets you moving for the first ~40MPH. Then after that, HP starts kicking in, and by the time your doing 80MPH it pretty much all power. Also the more low end you have, the better you are going to haul whatever there is on your ride. Like, the super duty/heavy duty trucks, the more torque the better.
