Lol. It sure sounded full throttle to me.Agree with the doubt although. Now you see why I am addicted to the TL diet. Folks just boo-boo'ed on my TL Diet thread, calling me crazy for years. I don't blame you for doubting the 1/2 pedal statement because my car amazes me too sometimes. Cheers

Update for the better!
Just swapped the stock 3rd cat for a modified 3rd procat. I say modified, because the outlet of the 3rd procat is only 2.25" diameter (same size as the stock catback). I had a shop machine it out to 2.5" to match the rest of my exhaust.
This improved the mid and top end power. Better yet, alot of the rasp has decrease. The only down side is lost alittle low end torque, but not much. My car sounds ferocious!

IMO going from a slightly leaky RV6 J-pipe to XLR8 was a BIG difference! Both the j-pipe and the deletes really compliment each other.

Well it depends how low your car is cuz im on Tien S-tech and i have the ATLP v1 which if im not mistaken hangs the lowest but normal driving and fair roads i dont even think about it but here and there it will scrape but you pretty mych have to nail something HARD for it to rip a hole.

A little off topic but has anyone noticed a very slight tininess/rasp with only an RV-6 j-pipe. I seem to have a slight tinny sound from the j-pipe. It sounds worse when cold but is still there when warmed. Could it just be the thinner walls of the j-pipe vs. the stock one?

Many folks that install the deletes think that they have an exhaust leak. They hear a tingling sound at idle. That is *no* leak. That is how tube headers sound. I have had real tube headers on my small block chevy motor. And the precat deletes sound just the way that I would expect. Guys, that is no leak. It is the way it is suppose to sound.
Here is how mine sounds. This is a little 60-100 approx blast (approx 1/2 throttle).
My setup =
Precat Deletes --> XLR8 Jpipe --> RV6 Race pipe --> OEM catback(with midmuffler delete)

on this. It's amazing you're jumping from 60-100 mph in six seconds with only half pedal, when it takes a C6 Vette and an E90 M3 full pedal to achieve the same time.

It was just used as a figure-of-speech. It was not meant to be taken literally. I don’t know if it was 50% throttle. It could had been 40 or 70% throttle. It was not exactly 60-100. The mph is just a very rough estimate.
As a side note, my data logging has revealed some very educational things. There are many cases where my car is just as quick with 75-80% throttle as it is with wot.
If you want to see some actual numbers (not casual conversation) to quantify my car’s performance, then click here and click here. In the second link, go to page 2 to see the 0-60 times.
And if this is not enough for you, check back this winter and I will have more “unbelievable” stuff for you.
