If you have more length, of a pipe, the volume is going to increase.

More length of a 3 dimensional object=more volume.

Yes length AND volume are two different things, but if you increase one (weather it be volume or length) the other must/does increase as well. So yes they go hand and hand.
Actually, you can increase volume without increasing length. If you increase diameter volume also increases.

I understand that. I didnt say extra length was the only way you can increase volume.

lol.
Well damn these guys work pretty fast, and in Albany no less, I used to live up there, and will be moving a bit upstate in about 2-3 months. I'll definitely be stopping in. I need a dynopak to fully finish tuning my car, unforunately I can only tune the lower cells (since I'm above everything else in the PCM lol) but there is only so many loads you can put on a car in NYC traffic.

might have to take you up on that after the move. I haven't been up there in a few years now, wouldn't mind taking the road trip

I would highly advise against that if you are concerned with the longevity of your motor

We are trying our best to get the stuff out there but we also have customer cars to work on, as well as fabrication orders to complete so we are trying to budget out time to keep it fair for everyone. We hope to have dyno results by tomorrow or wednesday to compare to the stock charge piping. We arent expecting much of a difference in spool time if at all, but well see soon.

Even if you see zero gains it looks 1000x better than that ugly, cheap, mass-produced plastic piping.

Hey, Brian Seitz and I plan on stopping down tomorrow morning. Is that cool? Brian wants to get a quote for a built block and I was going to see if you guys wanted to throw my car on the dyno if you had the time. Either way I want to stop down and check out the shop and see this turbo 'balt.

Hey Mike, do you think there is any way you can send me the dyno sheet from when I dyno'd my car today or post it up here? It blew out my window as Brian and I were driving down 890.

It was nice meeting you guys today and checking out the shop. Really nice and quality work of course. That T/C you guys have is downright nasty. I love it.. i'll be in touch with Morgan to see what he wants to do with it after he's done with making parts for it and what not. haha.
