Here are the pics taken last night. Hosted the we-todd-did-way!















Last two pics are views from the side looking under the car to show ground clearance!

Ken I woke up at 6am to get here before the Acura people so I could post these for you! Taco Bell on you!

 

Nice! Why is that B-Pipe bottleneck still there?
Isn't the exhaust gas going to melt the paint when you open the cutout?

The cutout is going to act like a resonator when it's closed!!! It depends on the length of it whether it's going to get worse or better...

Tell me he's still not running the stock exhaust on his car. What's with the bottleneck?

 

Nice pics

 

I like the dump tube....but i agree...that bottle neck is very nasty

 

does it matter when your running open header (cutout)?? just asking i guess

 

I guess not. I just thought with all of his talk about "Spec C this and raised compression that", he would have already went with a bottleneck-free system. Oh well...

 

He's still running stock catback. But now that a few people have said something Im sure a 2.5" exhaust has been ordered! lol

 

It takes more than me and you complaining TJ...hehehe

 

Ken is running a Toda header (But I think he was thinking about doing a Hytech).

 

I thought he was running the Hytech header now.

ilr, who isn't seeing things.

 

Ken has a hy-tech header.

 

Dont tempt Ken with this bottleneck talk! He might just start running open header all the time again!

 

truu

 

What happen to the cutout with the lever to open it while still in the car ? I think this way is better, keeps you from getting out of control on the streets

Craig - Who just drops the cat to run open header

 

Craig, you own man!

Jason-
who always knew where Craig was at Gingerman

 

 

What do I need an exhaust for? So I can get ~2whp? Or maybe to remove that bottleneck? Maybe I need a stunna/ bling bling can, or loud buzzing noise? I like the stock quietness and look. My car is pretty stealthy... almost a sleeper if you will. Even the idle now is pretty stealthy, so there's no clue as to what's in it.

Also, since I'm going back to the dyno soon and there's so much contention about whether or not open header makes power over a free-flowing exhaust..... I'm gonna dyno open header. If I wanna roll ppl, I'll roll them open header.

Oh yeah, that cable actuator is kinda like phase 2 for me... Being able to run open header (or partially so) at will is in the works... Stay tuned.

I just needed to complete this part so I could hit up the dyno again. And yes, that is a hytech header..... We'll see how it fares on the rollers soon...

 

Especially during the red flag situation, and he was the only car at speed, because there was no worker to throw him the flag for a good portion of the track

:fire:

 

LMFAO!

I never saw a red flag once I did see a black flag thanks to some dirt on the track that desided to launch me off the track out of a turn

Craig - Who can't wait to get on the track again

 

WTF is that monstrosity. What did you guys cut it out from?

Nice pics

 

isnt the cutout gonna kill all your low end??
i know this def. helps out american 8's but i didnt think it would help a 4cyl

 

Um Ken if you didn't get my IM, I have your new toys here @ work so call me eh...don't want to spoil the surprise if BlackR doen't want anyone to know...

 

Yeah, but we know that he's always buying new toys now a day....
