Went through Emissions today....

[supramacist]

GodDamit......, That is BEAUTIFULL.

I stopped telling my old man what I give for tools or parts because he always has to spend the rest of the convo telling me how ignorant I was for either...,

Not buying the tools cheap enough, like used $hit from a pawn shop. All the way too..., I guess you had to have one of the most expensive HG's I could find.

I don't have time for his opinion if it's negative and he's my old man. SO that means the rest of you are preaching to the chior!

NICE A$$ NICE, man. Makes me want one. But the 3 inch would be overkill on an NA.

haha i bet im louder im running right off of a 3inch defcon DP, thats it, my 3inch test pipe is being welded up again. and then im going to put that on. then it will go through the stock pipes to a aftermarket like ebay muffler, dont know where my friend got it but i used it. should be interesting sounding.

[ddmcse]

kewl pipe huh ?!!

you can hear mine idle on my web site

[IHateHacks]

West_side I doubt it, running through the stock 2" piping is a major restriction. Ebay muffler? Yeah, thats gay. I really don't care how loud it is, its about performance. A full 3" exhaust with no cats is dyno proven to make an extra 30whp on a stock turbo supra.

ddmcse, yeah I know what it sounds like, that day you picked up the lapping tool from me and you drove by my house I was in the middle of my house and I heard you. I was like "what is THAT!?" I ran to the nearest window and almost shit myself, because it was a supra. Then I remembered that you were coming over today and I put 2 and 2 together. At first I thought it was just some supra from around my town. But there are no modded turbo MK3's in my town. Shit, I don't think there are any turbo MK3's besides mine in town.

Was that emissions test at idle, 2500rpm, dyno, or what?

Here in L.A. County and other heavily populated ones, its a dyno test at 15mph, and then 25mph.

The others, its at idle, then 2500rpm.

Some rural counties still don't have testing.

[j3pz]

my county dont need have emmisions tests... just have to pass inspections. we have a small rural county with a naval base that attracts alot of jobs and business. county and navy base made a deal that we dont need emmissions test... sweet!

[IHateHacks]

It was done on a chassis dyno in 2nd gear at around 3K rpm for about 2 minutes.

In CT they got rid of safety inspections but we have emissions testing. So your car can have no headlights, no seatbelts, no windshield wipers, no doors, and the body can be rotting off the frame but as long as you pass emissions, you're good to go! What a joke......

The cost of living here in Calif is so high that any little car thing can get you a stiff penalty.

My friend just got a $100 ticket because his front license plate was on the dash (which a cop told him would be OK)
and not mounted to the front bumper.

[IHateHacks]

I was bored today, so I thought I'd mock up the test pipe and cat back and see how she looks.

This pic doesn't do it justice. You can see this exhaust from a mile away.



It looks pissed. Gonna go do some Honduh hunting tomarrow.....

My TMS downpipe with built in turbo elbow is coming 10am tomarrow morning. Just have to sort out the gasket issue because they didn't give me enough.

[IHateHacks]

Let me just start off by saying TITAN MOTORSPORTS SUCKS!!!! DON'T EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM!!!! Ok I got it out of my system.

But seriously, first off, the 4 bolt turbo flange on the downpipe was bent. Good thing I own a big fuckin hammer. Then the piping was too close to the studs and I couldn't get the nuts on. Then the O2 sensor BARELY reached the connector. They provided no gasket and no hardware. They will be getting a piece of my mind when I call them. They obviously don't have quality control because this downpipe was a piece of shit. Good thing I'm handy wit dem dare tools.....

But besides the little hiccups, now my supra sounds like a race car. Very loud, turbo spools instantly and its sooooo funny watching the stock boost gauge peg tha fuck out way past 8+. I'm going to take a picture of it, prolly make it my sig pic..... My aftermarket boost gauge was reading around 8 so the stock gauge is a little ludacris lol.
