Sreamer Pipe

i got a external waste gate witha screamer but because of the yellow sticker i have put it into the exhauts but i kinda feels like the power is not the same is there any reason for this ??

was it tuned with the screamer ? maybe piping the screamer into the exhaust may have changed the a/f ratios at the oxygen sensor ? or it may just be the fact that screamer pipes offer a massive horsepower gain over going traditional that you can now feel the loss

Because they exhaust you have isnt good enough :/

Ie, not free flowing…

You need a proper, decent system if you want to plumb-back and not have issues

Tune isnt really the reason for it, its the added restriction

man doesn't matter how much you pay for somethin.. that doesn't make it good...

if it feels doughy then it's because it's been made restrictive a screamer pipe will produce the same power as a properly designed exhaust no drama's what so ever. I work for an exhaust company and talked to the engineers about this several times... It's all down to the design

the system is a little under $2200 so i think it is good enough i was thinkin it could just be the flow and the tuning cos it was tuned with the screamer

Well, sorry to say... but for $2200 it clearly isnt good enough, otherwise there would be no performance loss at all.

Nothing to do with it "tuned" with the screamer, its after the turbo... therefore tune changes wont affect it.

Its being caused by pressure build up, which is a poor flowing exhaust first and foremost.

its the plecebo *spelling* effect man...

if u think it ''feels'' less powerful it will feel like that.

HENCE- if u have a decent exhaust and have mounted the pipe WITH the exhaust flow u will be FINE.

u probably are used to the sound

SOUND DOESNT EQUAL POWAH

If your exhaust is free flowing, you will not loose any power going from screamer back to exhaust pipe returned.

I'm sure it doesn't SOUND nearly as fast though :blink:

+1

When i had my first car laser tx3 4wd, i had a screamer pipe for 2 years from my wastegate, then i had it plumbed back into the exhaust & it did feel like it had less power slightly, but when on the dyno it made roughly exactly the same power as with the pipe plumbed back.

    • Many thanks for your responses, guys.
    • This is why I can't afford a Porsche 911 or a new M3. Farken. Will hopefully provide me with a bit more  braking capacity at SMSP. Going from a 324mm to a 354mm rotor will also help dissipate heaps of heat. Not mention, the rears will also be upgraded to balance the brake bias. Believe it or not, with just only front Brembos and the rear OEM Sumitomo, I can actually feel the brake bias towards the back, hence trail braking into turns I could feel the rear end being unsettled. Hopefully if my broscience serves me correctly, I should resolve the brake bias by upgrading both front and rear calipers.
    • I'll chime in here with my experience. Motec is great if you have the money and know a good person to support you. They don't really offer retail support and the dealers make SFA margin on the product, so the business model is setup for you to be supported by a dealer. I'm lucky enough to know a guy who's ex Motec and very generous with his time and is a total boffin. In addition to that, I also use Brad Sherriff who's an absolute legend to work with. The downside to Motec is the software isn't very intuitive, pay to play, poor/limited online support and costly upgrades.  I've not owned an Emtron myself but a good friend runs a performance workshop in Melbourne who is an Emtron dealer. They won't be fitting any more to customer cars because of the poor level of knowledge within the Emtron support team and lack of ability to solve issues with the platform. Not to mention the circumstances around the establishment of the product and company in the first place. I've run Motec's since the old M8's back in the early 2000's so I'm certainly not without a bias but I look at it like this. Everyone acknowledges Motec as the best consumer grade product without spending mega dollars on Bosch Motorsport / Life Racing and so on. When you consider the real cost of your car (not what you tell your mrs) the cost difference between an Emtron and a Motec is tiny, why would you compromise over a few hundred dollars?
    • Closer to getting the shit box back on the road. That long hose, took 2 months to acquire. However the rest were all already to go same week I ordered them. For those playing at home, that long hose is for a RB25DE N/A motor, as they don't run a water/oil heat exchanger, the hoses underneath the plenum are much more elegant and not a maze of shit.
