Too much loud/drone

 

hahaha i cant read anythin,,,

 

Why read ? Pics not enough ?
I can translate my comment after pics :O)
"The problem was in other: on a photo 1 and 2 has established oxygen sensors without spacers.
In "invidia midpipe kit" there were spacers. But at once hasn't dared to put. The wire from the sensor stretched too.
But has understood through any time that they are necessary nevertheless:
1. Without them gas was sharply dumped. I.e. not smoothly.
2. Has learned that so it is possible to kill O2 sensors.
3. Probably, nevertheless Invidia spacers not simply so were in the complete set. =)
On the fair I will tell: it isn't necessary that. Loud, not to mention the price ;-)
Americans simply cut out catalysts from an average part, without touching the resonator.
Cheap but good =)
p.s. Has added a photo with these spacers"

(used "translate.ru website" and fix some words)

 

i have the SNS mid pipe its to loud so removed my tanabe exhuast put my stock back on and it was actually faster..so mid pipe with oem exhuast good mid pipe with aftermarket exhaust , lost alot of low end torque

 

also more fuel consumption with midpipes

 

I will dyno my car this week and report back!
I got 255whp stock. Let's see what my Invidia Mid Pipes and Tanabe's do for me powerwise!

 

any problem installin it?? understand this is bolt on product,,,

 

The Invidia mid pipes I got were for the GS350. Nothing was declared for the V8's. So when we installed it, the O2 sensor bungs had to be relocated, and the two flanges that meet up to the headers had to be cut off, twisted and welded back on to align with the flanges of the headers!

Any decent exhaust shop should be able to do this in a couple of hours! It's as simple as how simple the exhaust installer can make it!

Some useful threads!

Some images from my car!

 

^^ thanks designo,,,i want the dealer to install it since i have some credit on my dealer acct,,and u know dealers, any tiny modification, they start complainin like babies,,

 

Designo,

You don't know how long I have been waiting for you to do this. My son used to ask me every week as well, but I think he finally gave up.

I'm really sorry Kev, please tell your son to forgive me! Reason for this delay was because I wanted to dyno the car in identical conditions as last time so I could get consistent results.

Now is ideal! Stay tuned brother.

 

i'm amazed at how clean it is under your car! i guess that's one benefit of living in the middle east...no rain to get your chassis dirty?!?!
