[QUOTE=Wisconsin S2k,Mar 16 2006, 07:09 AM] uh, you do realize that only the bigger cities and some states have restrictions to this right?

 

 

 

No i know they're mandatory. My point was more about how restrictions are "overlooked" in areas of the country.

 

 

wow..thats very huge jump

 

T1R70R with 70mm testpipe is said to gain 15whp. And that is probably questionable. Testpipes have great gains for the money spent. But a 60mm testpipe isn't going to net you 16whp

 

Steve C: I honestly can't understand you....well ever. All you do is bitch at everyone and when there is real proof in your face you still call BS. I think I could get a bat, knock you in the face a couple of times, and you would still say BS "I wouldn't have the balls to hit you." I have friggen numbers right in front of you and yet the bs is still there. I see you posting on the street encounters always saying BS and "lets see dyno numbers," well here they are and yet you arn't satisified.

2 months difference, yes that will account for some HP loss / gain (in this case HP loss due to worse conditions), but I doubt the 20F and 50% humidity can account for 13HP+/- as you are claiming (since a testpipe only gives "1-2hp in reality"). I think you should take the dick you mentioned and shove it up your own ass until reality hits you


cmdr s:

as 24s2k7 mentioned, when you start driving around in a fully electric car with 0 emissions, use solar power for your house, waste your own money to inform people about the environment, stop using aresol, go around slashing every tire of every diesel engine motor powered car / truck, and blow up all the power plants in the world then you can come here and talk about the environment. Until then, you are just BSing with nothing to back it up. If anything that is what a true ricer is (steve C...bsing with nothing to back it up)


gary_phd:

Thats why the T1R has the mounting for the stock heatshield


Wisconsin S2k:

Its even overlooked where they do "enforce" the emissions act. I don't think some people realize how easy it is for Mr. Washington to help steer someones eyes away from the cat

 

All of my testpipe experience comes from the track.

 

Well, "SPEC", I believe there are people with a whole lot more smarts about the environment than you or I that have determined, through science and research, that a catalytic convertor (which is where this original thread began, talking about going cat-less, not about hugging trees or blowing up power plants, etc.) helps to cut emissions into the air. If you'd ever lived in the Los Angeles basin in the 50s and 60s you would realize how effective catalytic convertors are. Back then you could cut the smog with a knife. Today smog in the L.A. basin is virtually gone. You don't have to be a radical to have an opinion.
