Hi all.

I've had some queries from the local Adelaide guys about the AM Performance exhausts, and in particular the possibility of a group buy.

I've spoken to Andrew and if we get 5 or more people it works out to a pretty good saving.

Andrew used my car to develop the exhaust, and we've seen a 30kW gain on the dyno, and it flows an additional 3PSI boost.

Prices are:

Dump pipe (catless) - $420 (usually $480)

Mid pipe with 200 cpsi ceramic cat - $400 (usually $450)

Mid pipe without cat - $230 (usually $250)

Cat back exhaust with muffler in the middle and single cannon style exhaust - $740 (usually $800)

Cat back exhaust with twin mufflers - $870 (usually $930)

Titanium tips on your cat back exhaust - add $150

Installation in SA - $280

Everything is made in stainless steel (except the titanium, obviously).

Pricing doesn't include postage, I will get an idea of the right way to go if I get interest from interstaters.

Note all of this has been designed to connect to the stock mount points, i.e. you could order a dump pipe and mid pipe, then still retain a Kakimoto, Blitz or whatever Japanese exhaust takes your fancy. Or if you just need to rid yourself of that box of baffles, you could order just the mid pipe.

Tips (Mmm... titanium....):

I don't have any great photos of the cat back at the moment, but will if people want.

If I get 5 or more people interested, I'll go ahead.

Thanks!

Ah so you're the one he's making the dump and mid pipe for.

The catback system is fine. Mine has two mufflers now, because it was too loud and drony for my liking originally. Now its awesome, sounds awesome, and isn't too loud. I'd say just right.

I haven't tried the Kakimoto/Blitz stuff though. Been in a car with the Nismo sports muffler, and open I didn't think it was that much quieter than mine.

I'll measure the db at idle and let you know.

Haven't had a chance to measure the db at idle, sorry. Not sure how reliable those mobile apps are anyway...

For those interested, postage is $75 Australia wide.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
