yo i got a low exhaust.. it quite low like my IQ. anyway, is it better to go straight or on an angle???? i know for a fact if the cars lowered in order to not scrape the front

bumper bar you gotta go on an angle.. but in my case its an exhaust? you reckon straight or on an angle.

i seem to scrape on an angle =\

well it really depends........

first of all that the....Rakeish angle of the muffler you see from the rear...is in fact not designed for anti-scraping purpose but it helps guides exhaust gases in relevance to aerodynamics & air flow etc according to HKS.

it really doesnt matter if it is on an angle or not.......... All genuine aftermarket manufactures have thier exhausts pre-fabricated to suit... and obviously that angle is set to suit the model of car.

where as custom made exhaust from exhaust shops... you can get them to make any angle you want. as long as they can tack-it with the welder.....

alot of the times the last flange will scrape on a large bore exhaust on a lowered car.... theres really nothing you can do about it.

in my opinion ..the angle looks alot better than straight......

but it may not improve anything with a scraping.... all lowered cars are bound to scrape.....

yeah the weird thing is i scrape on an angle @ the same entrance @ maccas. but then i went straight into it and didnt scrape lol :S weird

if your talking about the "ANGLE" of the positioning of a car when moving onto a driveway or over a speed hump........ ( :banana: )

umm its a tough question dude...

it depends on how your car is set up...

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
