Covid hit them hard - they've been having trouble getting additional staff. Their main business is totally not related to motorsports so I dunno ?Yoda's Master wrote: ↑Sun Jun 27, 2021 7:48 pmIt's a shame they won't sell it. I gave up asking them to sell me a set.
I thought about that but based on what I've read and seen testing on dual 2.5" is good for 500hp. So I think it's good for NA.
Have you seen testing with 2.75"?
Well 2.75" isn't a common exhaust pipe size. You'll see 2.5" vs 3"
Nice work!seymore4 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 13, 2021 5:11 pmGot it most of the way buttoned up today. Got sent the wrong O2 extensions so waiting on those.. also the HPS intake that was supposed to be here today is arriving Monday now... then there's the power steering pressure sensor that I broke off jacking the engine back and forth
Awesome!! So glad to finally see someone else enjoy the full meal deal from PPE !seymore4 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 17, 2021 4:47 pmAll back together and running good! At idle you almost can't tell its got full exhaust but definitely turns heads when you get on it. Noticeably faster as well, I punched it from a stop and spun straight through first and second. Just need to fix the tune now...
Since Ken mentioned the Scat Pack in his video...just for comparison, that car uses a 2-3/4" dual exhaust stock from the factory that is sized and tuned for 485 hp performance with room to grow. The M56, well we know that exhaust is sized for 420 hp luxury not performance. Just installing the headers and 2-1/2" X-pipe opened up the flow quite a bit and made room to grow. That with the HPS hoses and tune you're at Scat Pack stock performance. Ken's M56 is probably at the maximum hp for a stock engine so the 2-1/2" exhaust sizing is good enough IMHO. If you go further and build the engine then a larger exhaust diameter should be considered.
Might need to call them directly. They've returned my missed calls.
I'll build a 2.75" so we can see if there's benefits, since it doesn't seem it's been done on our 5.6 staying NA. If it's boggy down low, ill make adjustments. It's just hard for me to get past the stock 5.7 Tundra motor gaining 48whp/89wtq with LTs/3" exhaust.armybrat wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 7:58 pmSince Ken mentioned the Scat Pack in his video...just for comparison, that car uses a 2-3/4" dual exhaust stock from the factory that is sized and tuned for 485 hp performance with room to grow.

How bad do you think a clogged cat will effect numbers?
