Exhaust is all done

[Raudermaster]

I'm very pleased with the results. It is a DR Cobra kit which I bought from a member here used. Overall, I can definately tell a difference power wise (Thumbs up) and as for the sound, incredible. It definately sounds just like Cobra. I will get some pics/video for you all. It really comes to life in the mid-upper RPM's as well. The shop I brought it too did a great job, very clean, and the price was excellent as well. It only took them 6 hours to do (lol). I'm fine with that, as long as they did a great job and did it right, which they did.

Quick question too though, should I disconnect the negative battery terminal? Is there a need for the PCM to "re-learn" the bigger manifold ports or what?

[rayjay]

no, only necessary for the intake side, not the outgoing.

What mufflers are you using with that?

[Raudermaster]

Flowmaster Flugger's. I'm thinking of going to Borla XR1's. :D

Sounds really good man, enjoy!

[Raudermaster]

Thanks man, I'm really happy with the whole setup. You should see the looks I get now when I go roaring by.

Huh, I guess that paint on my muffler's wasn't hi-temp lol.

With the shape of those mufflers you could repaint them to look like Wheaties cereal boxes

[Raudermaster]

That's what you get when you buy Flowmaster's I guess.

He installed this: http://reinhartautomotive.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=12345&Product_Code=MM-CE&Category_Code=9

Sold by one of our vendors Dennis Reinhart.

Yep, what I have on there is as follows: Cobra manifolds, 2.5" piping all the way back, 2 high flow cats, X pipe, Flowmaster Flugger's, and non res tips.

[JonW]

So what all does DR's kit include? I take it no mufflers. Is it only to the cats, and you have to take it from there?

BTW, get the Borlas. Mine sound awesome, and I have stock exhaust.

[MENINBLK]

no, only necessary for the intake side, not the outgoing.

Ahem...

Exhaust Backpressure affects the engine too.
A change in backpressure will change the characteristics
of the fuel management system accordingly.

Turn of all of your accessories. (HVAC, Radio, Llights, etc...)
Unplug your battery overnight.
Reconnect it in the morning and start the engine.
Let it idle until the cooling fan comes on once.
Now you can get in it and drive it like you stole it.

[Raudermaster]

Thank you MIB, I'll do that tomorrow. Jon, it's manifold's back to the X pipe. No, I love the Flowmaster's now, my car f*in screams now! I have to get a clip of me going by.

[Raudermaster]

However, I noticed today when I was doing about 30mph or so, I stomped on it and it downshifted back to 1st, it felt like my car was.....IDK how to describe it. Like it didn't wan to move, and it didn't feel that fast, but when it hit 2nd it took off? Maybe the PCM was messing up because it didn't re-learn? This is the first time I've experienced this.

[Raudermaster]

Got a thick wallet?
