it's got a highflow cat. I had the hahn resonator removed and a 24 inch one put on

 

Crazy. And it's still raspy. I guess I really don't know what to tell you. All the restriction in the lsj is in the header and the downpipe, so If I were to do anything I would drop down the size and muffler / resonator from the cat back.

 

Where am I coming out?

 

lol but I love my hahn exhaust!

 

Yeah, I have heard nothing but good things about it. I think there is a correlation between how fast exhaust can escape out the back to the sound that's made, no matter how you try to muffle it.

If you want to get it fixed, you can try my jbp header, see if it nets you a better sound.

 

ya I always wanted to try one but I'm not big on the subie sound on cars other than subarus

 

I imagine you probably have zero low end torque with the back end setup you are running on stock timing..

 

actually it still pulls pretty good from a stop

 

Goddam. A little meth and some minor tweak on your tune and she'll haul like you wouldn't believe.

 

lol probably. I'm still unsure about the meth

 

I can't say I understand why.

 

Ya, it's just me. Don't like the stuff much

 

Perhaps once my girl is back on the road I'll try to take you for a rip, and you'll be able to feel when the juice starts to spray, and you can really feel it.

 

lol okay. sounds good. the main think I'm worried abouot is that in the patch we use corrosion inhibitors because methanol decreases the strength and life of steel. alloys and aluminum would be 10x worse I think

 

What is the volume of methanol used? I imagine it's a great deal more than the mild spray in an injection kit, that in itself is a 50/50 water mix anyways...

 

usually a few liters a day but it is still pretty potent crap. Have you seen the msds on methanol?

 

I still think you are worrying for nothing. The methanol will evap with the det charge before it can do anything anyways. think about how quick that air/meth/water mixture moves into the chambers.

 

you could be right. I'm just still unsure of it

 

Heh. Now I'm the meth pusher. Come to my lab kiddies...

 

..

I came in here at a bad time..

 

lol. maybe you should read back for context...

 

That right there is why I suggested you look up bluelightening... HERE, I just did for you;
he has the same long tube header, and his car sounds AWESOME!

When I met up with some of the Winnipeg Cobalt guys, he had some fun leaving the parking lot - did not sound at all ricey...


@ Pickles ... um, am I missing something here?

I though you sold your HPT to TJ, who in turn sold it to Project??

@ Jon. - Do you have HPT? ~ If you do, I've only heard good things about pickles - should you be able to nail him down

As far as power is concerned removing the long tube, and going to anything less is a downgrade - I wouldn't advocate this...

 

He still has it, I need to buy it back. I would really hope he didn't sell it, since I was hesitant about selling it to him in the first place for this reason.

You make a good point Jonathan. I would usually attribute rasping to metal on metal vibes through the piping.

 

heat shield possibly?

 

Would've removed it on install I imagine.
