So how about the 15-20hp magnaflow supposedly has

 

dont believe everything you read. i have more belief in a person that does unbiased testing as opposed to a magazine that has ties to certain companies. just my two cents. BTW it was never 15-20 hp. it was 10-15 for the record. :smile:

 

In my experience, it was 5.3 whp:

You're not making any sence, it wasn't like the magnaflow only made a few HP and then the supersprint made 10-15hp...neither of the exhausts mdae a to of power which is typical of modern cars. Yeah I plan on replaicng the exhaust in ym car but its more for sound quality and the few extra HP I'll pick up. I know I won't get huge gains and that's ok...cause it'll sound fast

i was just saying in general that magazines have ties sometimes to other companies and they can be persuaded a little.

also what does 5.3 wheel hp translate too?

talk about not making sense nice spelling

...spelling isn't the problem it's trying to type when your boss isn't looking


5.3whp is exactly that, 5.3hp to the front wheels as noone knows the actual corrections.

Adding 5whp does not make you're car fast...if it does you're kidding yourself

Note that they had some trouble with the car at high RPMs; I think the artical was pretty much a waste of time given they had this problem. I think it skewed the results enough to make them useless. I guess the article deadline was more important than producing a useful bit of data.

 

thankyou sleepless good to see someone making an intelligent response to this thread.

hey watch your mouth foo!

 

Hi Sleepless........

What kind of exhaust are you running

>>What kind of exhaust are you running >>>


Sorry to answer for you Sleepless, but I believe he still has the stock exhaust.

 

Yep, stock. Once I know for sure that the dealer has fixed my hot-no-start problem I'll get the Quicksilver with the dual tips. The Magnaflow is cool and seems to create the most power currently, but it's just a bit too loud for me. I like the sound of the Quicksilver. The Borla (non-sport) sounds just like stock to me.

Sarcasm isn't going to make you many friends here. Please don't come on this board arrogant and ignorant of the subjects you're trying to discredit. Why don't you take your time and do some actual research and listen to some of the wiser ones here who know what they're talking about. "

poo who are you referring to?

 

nevermind duh

 

It was intended for the person who started this topic. Sorry for the misunderstanding, Weaverpsu.

I see a 7 hr difference between the two runs. What was the ambient temp difference.
An outside temp change of 5-10 degrees can make a difference in the
results as well.

As far as variations in the dyno charts, 1-3 HP difference between runs
is pretty much normal.

What I do wonder about the European car article is the detonation and the resultant timing retard that you can see on the charts. THAT should never happen on
a stock car.

 

yeah the article is pretty much a wash because of the ecu problems they were having. i hope that next month's issue goes over this again. also why did they use the BMP intake? Did they even try the Alta or the Madness/Rogue? Questions i would like them to answer.

 

Hi Minipoo.............

I started this thread not to discredit or **** anyone of...... to the contrary, I wanted to see what's up with over blown
and overstated dyno results from various manufacturers......now this should be of outmost concern for anyone who is plunking down their hard earned money. To say that a magazine would falsify, and or give a skewed report on a test of
in this case 2 different exhaust systems is not fair..... weaverpsu was not there and can not testify to bad dyno practices.
Minipoo to attack me with words like Arrogant, Ignorant is also very unfair and ignorant.....you do not know me or my back ground in automotive technology, next time you talk to Randy ask him and he will tell you what my credentials are.
And to weaverpsu I appologize if my comments were taken wrongly If you E-mail me I can send you a new product for you to test for free to make up for the missunderstanding.

Ps we got almost 5 horsies on the dyno with this baby

 

okay M7 truce. I bought the mag and read the article. Like i said it seems they were having an ecu problem causing a drop from 6400 to 6800rpms. So with the drop they only recorded about 4-5 hp. Pretty much a wash. I know i hate how manufacturers do that! How do they get away with it? The BMP people said their intake gave them a "surprising 12.7 hp". Yeh okay sure. Maybe if the engine was 40 degrees. Randy got a measly 4 hp out of it.

peace

 

Just FYI last time I checked European Car still had a pre production car and the ECU and many other components are NOT the same.

Just beware of this.

I'm sorry about my post that wasn't too nice. It was stupid of me to call you ignorant and arrogant when I really don't know anything about you. I'm very sorry about that. I guess the sarcastic question posted for sleepless got to me. Sorry.... :smile:

 

peace
