Turner Test Pipes

[maesd74]

Well, I finally got these installed a couple days ago. It's a bit louder on a cold start, definitely louder when you give it some gas and the smell is not unbearable. Unfortunately, I can't say I notice THAT much of an increase in power. I do notice that I get the revs up higher much quicker than before, but I can't say the butt dyno notices THAT much of an increase in speed for those revs. Does that make sense? Maybe I'm just nuts or just expected to get a huge difference in raw power. Either way, I'm enjoying the new mod and will be adding the green filter, pullies and possibly a tune.

with the tune and air filter, you will definately feel the increase in power.


good luck

Let's say you gained 15 rwhp up top. If you are making in the 350 rwhp range, you are talking about a 4% gain. Not many people can feel that kind of a gain and you are right that it won't be dramatic. Add a tune and you might get anothe 10-15 rwhp. Added to the test pipes, the total is more noticeable.

You really notice it when you get in a car that doesn't have it. I drove a friend of mine M3 that was bone stock, definitely felt a difference. My car felt like it was chomping at the bit, while his was on a Valium.

It's funny you say that, I drove a friend of mine's e92 this evening and yea, I can tell a difference now.

Next up is a tune....just not sure which one yet.

Revs up quicker in neutral or while accelerating in gear?

While accelerating in first gear. I need to stop listening to sound and watch the dummy console and pay attention to revs/speed vs gear.
