I just installed this:

It is much larger than stock, the turbo will be happy. Not infinitely large like Allmotor's cutout, but it will make a big difference for me day to day. The stock sizes are 2-1/8" to the Y and then 1-3/4" to the mufflers, the Comptech is 2-1/2" and then 2". The flow area is 38% larger! That should free up some more boost and add another 10-15whp. Time to go test it out

 

Cool, report back on the response. At your current level though 10 - 15 WHP is hard to feel.

 

let us know how it feels

 

I should pick one of those up. Then i'd be all out of N/A mods. WHAT TO DO!?!

 

I forgot to add this pic:


p.s. Comptech quality = , it fit perfect.

 

ooooooooooooo aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

Damn that was fast... you were like at my house only a few hours ago!

 

i can't recall but what was the gains for a 5AT w/ i/h? Or what are the gains period. Sorry, I kno this was discussed b4.

 

It that a V-band clamp just before the resonator (pre-muffler)?

 

Yeah the Comptech one comes in two pieces; a 'B' pipe and 'C' pipe. Good thing too or else it wouldn't have fit in my car. The stock one is one big long piece.

Did you fix the intercooler pipe rattles? I used some weather stripping on some parts of mine... that worked good.

Oh I haven't gotten a chance to drive the car with the exhaust; my roommate's mom's grand cherokee is in the way It will have to wait until tomorrow. I wonder if it will make it up to 6psi? I will let you know how the cooling duct idea goes too. I have my Radio Shack digital thermometer ready to gather data

 

Minimal, 3-5 whp.

 

Awesome! I want a B pipe, but don't feel like shelling out the $$ for it.

 

I got it for $380 new. Very happy with the price and quality/fit.

 

Hey BlueCLS...I assume the B-pipe diameters are the same as the TL's. If you happen to have the axle-backs as well, what is the diameter on that pipe? You said the b-pipe tapers from 2 1/2" to 2" at the Y-pipe so are the axle-back pipes that connect to the Y-pipe also 2"? I ask this because I am going to buy the B-pipe and fabricating my own axle-back piping. I have mufflers that I got for free and am going with those.

 

Congrats on the purchase.

For now mine is only for looks, hopefully the S/C will change that.

 

Well the B-pipe made a noticeable difference. It responds better and feels much stronger, a definite improvement . I'm curious to see how much of a difference it made but alas I don't have a dyno. But in order to actually FEEL a gain you need at least 10-15whp? (especially in a 3400lb. car), correct me if I'm wrong.

Next mod is making the intake air ~20 deg-F cooler... I already have a duct installed, need to gather the 'after' data...

Oh and I have maintained the stock mufflers. After all the car is pretty much stock anyway Sleepers rule.

 

nice to meet you saturday steve. I'm glad everything fit ok. Can't wait to see what the car does.

 

ive been waiting for some numbers!

 

 

5-8 WHP with SC

 

Congrats on the b-pipe install.

How do you like the b-pipe: drive-ability, sound, etc...?

 

but the person asking doesn't have the S/C

 

It will certainly make a difference. I noticed the before and after with the SC on. Look forward to hearing about your SC after it is installed.

 

total sleeper w/o the mufflers!!!

 

That's what I was going for. Aside from the FMIC and gauges, either of which aren't that obvious, the car looks basically stock.

Oh and I was able to see a full 6psi with the addition of the B-pipe! Before the most the gauge read was about 5.8psi. Cool, more boost

 

That is very awsome. Now go hit the dyno and the track!!!

 

nice... cant wait to get my b-pipe

 

rez, if u dont plan going w/ fi i wouldnt waste your $$$

 

blue, i just noticed u got teh stock tires on, i think its def time to upgrade

 

i plan on getting s/c with scalbert's IC in near future.. im just doing all the other upgrades i can beforehand. b-pipe next, then headers, and then hopefully soon the s/c with stage III transmission from v/r.
