I laughed out loud at the "tork" spelling.

Really interesting results. I'll definitely be giving Xephyr a call for a CAI as soon as I get a summer job.

I'll also consider exhaust.

I'm wary of the cat because of emissions testing.

Random Technology's website does not list a specific cat for an Acura 3.2CL, Type S. Did you use one of their universal fit ones and if so, were there any installation adjustments necessary?

where do i get info to get the random tech cat3,killer numbers,am looking forward to trying this stuff out

I think he had to modify the Accord cat. Do a search, someone listed the exact modifications that had to be performed. E-mailing the company with inquiries may help us get a CL-S/TL-S specific cat. The mission is how to get it on legally?

Hey johntypes did the RT cat alter the exhaust sound any or did it stay the same or does anyone else know if changing the cat makes the car sound any different???

John,

I just received the cat in. I will call APG, and get it dynoed ASAP.

do u have aftermarket rims or something? how come your stock dynoed only at 191 hp most of us here got around 200hp as stock and w/ headers around 225~230hp at the wheels. and suprising to see you only gained about 20 hp from the headers and exhaust. but impressive numbers for the random cat. I might have to think about that. may be I should get a random cat instead of a cai.

Only other question is, is there alot of noise level differance?

Only 20 hp with the comptech headers (assume exhaust does not help hp much if at all).. also on the stock it seems that you lost 26+%hp to the wheels (260 ---> 191.7).. but the random tech cat gave you nearly 20 hp.. that is amazing!

lol...he's replying, his reply just comes out in bold as part of the original quote.

need real DYNO charts.....anyone can type.
Send them to EricL if you cannot figure out how to post them.

John is new to the internet, and is learning. As far as dynos are concerned..email him at vittallo@aol.com. I will be dynoing my car tonight, and will post them online.

how did y'all get almost 20hp? isn't 228-191=37? that would be almost 40hp ... more than header and exhaust combined? ummm .. interesting.

Dude.....do you really think that he removed the headers and the exhaust between dynos?? You have to be kidding me..........

Since he did each dyno with all the parts specified plus the ones prior, the cat conv. does produce almost 20hp.

I have his dyno's at home... he is only reading the peak numbers off his dyno charts and his actual torque is around 180ft/lbs not in the 200's. Also his cat dyno's are seriously f'd and he didn't gain anywhere near 20hp from the new cat. They did a speed to hp dyno where you start from a low speed and just floor the car up until redline in 3rd gear... well the dyno reads a HUGE spike everytime the transmission changes gears... This why he thought he got 235hp with the cat. His first two torque readings are all way off because the dyno was started right as the car finished changing gears so the dyno reads part of the spike and causes his peak torque reading to be way too high.

I'll post his charts up for everyone to see when I get home... if you know how to read a dyno chart you can see what I'm talking about.

Bnut,

I got my car dynoed at the same place. Those guys suck!!! I did gain 5hp to the wheels from the cat though. I dont know about the torque since, my dybo sheets are messed up.

Didn't I refer to transients being misread on an earlier thread??? Human nature...we all want to have that "lottery" feeling...a major revelation. Remember, the OEM Cat of the -S is already a higher flow variant from the 225HP car.

My torque was misread, not my HP.
