I kept on telling him I was only doing it for fun and to see what the car could do.

"You didn't spin your tires coming off the line" Then he proceed to tell me how badly I have modified my car.

But In all honestly if your Exhaust is not clamped correctly it would be like having a leak in the system which in turn could cause you to loose some of your back pressure. Loosing back pressure can cause a motor to loose it's Down Low torq and can also cause misfires when the motor is turning on.

I don't think I have that problem. When I got in my accident last year I had the garage check for leaks.

Oh no not saying you are having the issue just saying that it is possible. If the clamps are on correctly there is nothing to worry about. I just want to weld mine so the damn passenger side muffler will stop moving. About once a month I get down there and straighten the muffler again. Unfortunately it is a known issue with the MRTs

You do know that a K&N cai, a chip, and welded mufflers would have put you in the 10s, right? I mean, you are leaving so much on the table...

yeah, I know. Maybe someday I will get them welded. Just don't want to spend the money on it right now.

At first I thought your were serious, then I kept on reading. Don't forget the Flowmaster.

a guy that wins "2 out of 3" races...street races. never been to a track.

lscamaro · 06-17-2013, 01:23 PM

Wow!

Street racing and racing on a track are two totally different animals. All jewel needs to do to get into the low 14s is just have a better launch. A 2.0 60' and she moves into 14.2 territory. Add the next mod you're doing and your in the low to mid 13s...
