Before I go that route again, I'll need to find a good muffler that is not too loud. Sounds like the ESS would be a good match. Or perhaps an Akra. Something to tone things down a bit. My AA axle back is too loud for me (might be an exhaust leak since it is droning more). |

I just don't understand where all this extra power is coming from... That little warning light keeps going off saying "If something sounds too good to be true..."
If it had a HFC I would have thrown caution to the wind though I just can't risk getting nailed by a motor-cop around here. Some members have even seen the vans that watch people's exhaust fumes around here.

They are everywhere here (Denver). They park them near high traffic areas like on ramps and scan your exhaust as you drive by. It allows you to renew your emissions without going in for the full monty. Nice for me since the Evo seems to pass the sniff test but would fail a visual.

Haha. It really does look like a man's exhaust, and it is. And this is coming from someone who thinks Akra makes a superb product. Quote:
As to the "why" - I think that topic has been explored at length earlier in this thread. Too bad about how strict your state is. Quote:

"As a vehicle passes by, the roadside testing equipment is able to analyze the vehicle’s exhaust in less than a second. Here’s how RapidScreen works: The vehicle first passes through speed and acceleration detectors, while an image of the license plate is recorded for identification. The vehicle then passes through the infrared and ultraviolet beams of the emissions analyzer. A laser light source directs the beams across the road, where they are bounced off mirrors and directed back to a detector module. As the light beams are broken by the vehicle’s exhaust plume, the detector module measures the levels of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and oxides of nitrogen in the plume. The emissions readings are matched to the license plate and an official test record is created."

Is that whats happening now? I'm scared to email Malek, I was such a pain in the ass getting my first one But I do want one again for suure as long as I can contain it a bit with a good axel back or some HFCs. I get sad when I think of what I sold mine for Did you put in a pre-order yet?

MRF should really Make a HFC X-pipe based on there Cat-less design, there's most likely a larger market share w/ the Cated X-pipes.
I like the thought of the added power of the cat-less pipe, but ive been down that road with other cars and its to much noise for me, and im sure many others.

Going straight pipes eliminates a lot of muffler choices.

The position, density and quality of the CAT's will depend on how much gas flow can pass through them and how much back pressure they impose. This is a dyno graph of the exact same X Pipe with and without 200 CELL Cat's in the position of the secondary CAT's. As you can see the difference is only that of two different dyno runs which are rarely exactly the same. Hope that is useful and people request a HFC. If it's not as powerful then the HFC is not good enough. |

Thanks Sal. I remember when you posted a big thread about how you guys took pressure measurements and and didn't find much (if any) difference with quality 200cpi cats in the secondary positions.
