I'd like to add your results to the Dyno Database. Since you used a non-standard correction methiod (you used STD instead of SAE), can you get your two dyno files from the shop, and let me repost them with the standard correction formulas? I'll then add them to the Dyno Database.

Send me RunFile_001.drf and RunFile_004.drf...and I'll do the rest.

We are still working on it. We have the pipes on Roger's car now so I'm monitoring the progress to see if the CEL comes on.

I was totally for buying this exhaust, then I hear this tinnyness coming from the exhaust when you pay attention to the video..

It's not rasp, just tinnyness?

[jimmyeatsworld]

i don't hear any tinnyness in mine.

me neither.

i believe the only time you hear the tinny noise you guys are referring to his on cold starts, once the exhaust warms up that noise is gone. ill make a video when i get my RPI installed this week

My RPi is sitting on my doorstep waiting for me to get home. I will also probably post some more videos of it.

that sound only happens after a cold start up, it goes away in about a minute.

yeah you are correct the sound goes away after about a minute or so, i heard it at mfest not to long ago and it ROARS!!!!!!! cant wait to put mine on

[d_dot]

the tinnyness noise goes away after it warms up but still does it when the car shifts gears. kind of annoying actually

[gogoevo]

Mine has a little ring to it on a cold start but goes away after warmed up. I'm hoping the resonators Eloy is working on takes care of most of it, along with the CEL.

It has been suggested to me that DEI wrap on the front connecting pipes along with new gaskets might help with the tinny sound??

will the resonators be "plug and play" sorta speak or will there have to be some cutting done?

Good question; not sure what Eloy has in mind there. Patiently waiting.

there is a solution to the cel, get the rpi power chip tune. ive had no cel since 4/09

[GhostyM]

Understood. Not ready just yet for a tune. Waiting to see what RPi can do with the resonators. I'm hoping they can eliminate a lot of the tinny / rasp sound.

Opened my boxes today and no X pipe. So no install for me this weekend. I have already contacted the vendor I purchased it from to see how they can clear this up ASAP. I guess no install this weekend.

Checked, and I don't have the tinny noise.
