more questions for try`s s14 (exhaust)

[tryiian]

aright uh, first, do you guys think that this

will fit on any good aftermarket headers setup?

iWas thinkin greddy personally, though I`m clue-less about which differnt headers and cat-back systems do what best. iJust certainly wasn`t considering a company with an unproffessional name like hotshot... For all iKnow, th vast majority of aftermarket headers are 3" at the out end.

And while this post is on the exhaust subjekt, this looks like th most freely flowing (therefore, iAssume, most power-enhancing) system I`ve ever seen, as referenced by it`s nearly straight design and 860 usd pricetag. Though I`ll have to confirm such impressive facts before iDecide to use this instead of a custom 200 dollar dual-flowmasters setup that I`ve seen on a zenki once that sounded heavenly compared to the n1. Low and rumbling, sooo sweeet... oh, uh, anyway the 800 one:

but then, alas, iHave heard of the N1`s silencer that having it in farther offsets the balance of revs for greater response in the low end torque department. Does backpressure then, mean torque? Or is reality much more complex, there being some ideal way to reduce a certain amount of the occurrence so that the engine is getting more air out while not so much to create a situation favorable to high-end hp? That, of course taking for granted that some backpressure will increase torque. It`s a complex thing to want extreme mileage while still being set up for as much acceleration as possible, I`ve learned. A conflicting mix.

Another question iHave btw is how much air-out enhancement it would take for the way the engine works to ... cease, working. I`ve heard that without some backpressure, something involving the fuel delivery or some random function to quit.iHave planned a drift-spec air-intake system, injen`s, with the setup that pretty much exposes the air filter entirely by placing it under the headlights where any d-style front bumper will have a large open inlet port. So that oughta keep the mods from entirely halting the engine, not that iWas in danger of it with just some high flow piping equipment.

man iHope somebody besides the respondant gains somethin from all this information bein brought up.

i really have no idea what you ate babbling about... nor have iEver seen the use of "iHave andiDecide" before...

But I do know that VERY common misperception is that our motors need "backpreshurr" and they will "lose torque" and yada yada yada. Well my 3" N1 made more torque and HP throughout the entire powerband. A friends GT sepc (3"-3.75") was just about equal with the 3" N1 accept for 2 more ponies (to wheels) up top.

so these numbers are dynoed, before and after?

and could you be bothered to explain what this usual misperception is and what the truth is?

and how bout that http://w1.igateway.com/clients...tegor< ... ction=form

by the design do you think it`d give at least as much torque as the n1 or the gt spec? I`m just trying to find the best low-end exhaust system, with a minor preference towards deeper sounds, which is why iMay end up just going with the custom flowmasters regardless of 3-4 lb.ft. of difference.

First off, if you want to ask a question, you're better off asking it than finding a long way to say that you can't have an insane drag car with awesome gas mileage. Secondly, if you're gettig a catback exhaust, what does that have to do with fitting up to the headers? If you put a downpipe in there you might want a ltitle thought just to make sure you don't put in really good headers and some terrible exhaust that doesn't flow at all. It'll only go as fast as it's slowest point. Also, headers are a lot more complicated than exhausts, well not sure about the muffler exactly. But with headers you have a lot more to deal with than just trying to get it be as strait and wide as possible. That would probably be good for headers, except you're going to have to bend it somewhere, so the shape plays a big part. Exhaust also has that because it has to go around some stuff but not nearly as bad of angles as the headers.

Though, chances are everything i said was wrong, but whatever, you got way to philosophical in your post about nothing.

did it seem that complicated? maybe iShould just post each particular question... and use very, simple, words...
