I'll let you guys know the damages later on today.

 

How are you liking that hahn catback? I am driving to go pick one up in just a few hours =D.

 

I love the sound of it. It's low and quiet at idle but has a mellow tone when under load.

 

i loved the sound til the muffler blew out in less than 2 years. i cant afford a $150 muffler every two years.

 

Cool, let me know, I can help out if need be. Mine is heat wrapped if that makes any difference.


gotta love TVS whine... car sounds sweet man!

 

Love or hate the JBP I dont care, but why is everyone making out like the JBP is the problem with the car here???? "This one is the problem here."
The meth f'ed up, no biggie, fix the problem and go for it. The header had nothing to do with the problem. Looking forward to some results.

 

which is why he didn post any results... he didnt want the misreadings to change peoples views

 

That was like 2 years ago, when all the lsj had for mods were basic stage kits and the lnf was "never gonna happen!" LMAO!
I doubt I am the fastest anymore but I ran into an RME member about a month ago and talked him into going to the track with me and rice boy. He had a black LNF and sadly, wasn't running to good.
Whats new man?!




Sorry, Back to the thread:

I vote you don't show numbers that aren't accurate due to other issues. This forum is full of people who would take these numbers to mean something, which all they show is your Meth is on Crack! Lol

Keep up the good work! Can't wait for results!

 

We'll just have to wait and see. I honestly don't expect much different results from the first attempt, (minus the meth prob.)

 

wow thats pretty good. im getting 20psi with a 2.8 and 2.5in downpipe... im hopping to drop to 17-18 with a 3in downpipe and then drop pulley down to 2.6

 

don't get too crazy with things, you don't want to start breaking things. take it slow. The pulleys don't cost that much. I'd rather pay 50 bucks for a slightly smaller pulley, than 3 grand in parts for the engine...

 

truth

 

It would make more sense to you if you saw it in person. This is one of those cases where the pictures really don't do it justice. The main problem with the header is the fact that there are too many sharp bends in each primary. The exhaust gases aren't able to get out as fast as they are forced into the header, and that's going to put more backpressure on the engine, instead of helping to relieve that. They might as well have made the primaries smaller and just created a real shorty.

I've found out what the issue with the meth was, and new parts are on the way. I'm looking at early next week for the retest.

 

sooo i basically did this with my jbp header...am i allowed to say what happened or is that going to spoil everyones fun in waiting lmao

 

go ahead. If you want to then that's fine. Just remember that my build is most likely a lot different than yours. The only thing I ask is that you have some proof of your testing (dyno sheet).

 

mines not a build at all lol i just dynod stock header stock downpipe stock exhaust then installed jbp header,jbp downpipe and slp dual outlet exhaust so i unno how informative my experience would be

 

still you can show what your results were. The header (stock vs. jbp) is the only variable here. I would assume you have a gain against the stock parts. However I am curious to see whether their claim of 31 hp was realized in your dyno testing. Even with the slp catback, it should still be somewhere around that.

 

yeah i dun have the pics of the dyno sheet no more soo your gunna have to take my word for it lol but umm there was no gain at all!! i actually lost a nice number of power im pretty sure stock dyno was 221 and after all the crap i was actually at 217 so yeah hopefully yours goes better

 

not surprising. They didn't bother to tell you that your mods should be at a certain level to even be able to use the dp and catback like they are meant to be. Your exhaust flow is just too much right now. if you don't have any other mods and just a stock tune, then I would consider you lucky that it was only 4 hp. I gotta get some sleep, but check in tomorrow so we can talk some more. Thanks for being honest though.

 

yeah i have a 2.8 and all the extras to go with it like heat exchanger and shyt that im putting on soo hopefully it builds up proper...yeah im gunna deff b wacthing this thread out your putting alot of your time to help us so the least i could do is be honest with my story

 

HeHe!!! I am really going to bite my tongue right now, but I am so ecstatic to see this information finally floating to the surface for all to see.

If you all knew my story you would understand.

 

go ahead and share since were all spilling bad news lmao

 

Nah. As many have said, we can't have this turn into a vendor bashing thread, regardless. We can just wait for the testing to show what a product is really worth.

 

very true buh soon the real truth is gunna b out!!

 

Well this sh%# is really killing me i love my jbp but if it has to go yo better belive its out the window ! The question now is which header do i get next ? DAM money is in my hand but i wana wait for these results speed it up man LOL . Great thread by the way to bad it took about 3 years for someone to actually do this !
By the way does anybody have a weapon r ? they look like a nice flowing header too bad he wont test with them.
