[Let's buy together] AR Design 3" Catless Downpipes

[Orlin]

this will not turn into a tune flame thread again...I repeat this will not turn into a tune flame thread...Orls...out.

[RaihaX]

famous last words...

[Alpha Trion]

ok lets NOT turn it into a tuner bashing thread!

So JB4 and Procede.. thanks and now i have homework to do in that regard!

Just to add.. i wasn't 100% happy with the way the AR dp is finished.. there's a lip that should have been shaved down at the end on the inside.. shit like that in an intake or exhaust pipe can cause turbulence and mess up the flow. Super thin material as well is a worry because stainless expands and contracts and can crack if thin.

Just a few things. But i guess they are still working and no one has had issues with them?

Have you got pics of the AR downpipes where it needed to be trimmed/shaved down?

The DP's give you most of the power from the FBO mods. I don't think you would necessarily lose power but at stock boost levels you won't get the most out of it. I would get a tune asap if I were you.

Must have been Justin's because I've never run that combo.

Thanks for confirming that Kenny. I remember the dyno was done with the Procede in valet (stock) mode after all the mods were installed.

[JB4-335]

Yeh it was Justin's dyno result.

JB sucks massive massive ass while PROcede is god's gift to men












..go either one and you'll be fine Elee

[JB4-335]

Go the Procede it's an awesome tune if you like misfires.

If I were to choose which is more powerful out of:

Stock car
Stock car with DPs

I'd put my money on stock car with dps... I'm agreeing that a tune will DEF give more power and get the most out of the downpipes, but seeing as how many cars change exhaust system and get more power it's the same principle...

Anyway maybe the OP can tell us his thoughts?

I'll take pics on the weekend to show the parts I'm talking about.

I'm still trying to get my head around these ecu upgrades.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they are plug and play piggy backs right?

Can you custom tune or are they all preset maps?

They are both plug n play piggy's.
You can make your own custom boost curve with the JB4 on map 6 by presetting your own boost target every 500rpm. It's really awesome and if I come on Friday I'll show you.

With the new user software that is coming out for the procede the level of customization is gonna be quite good. So it seems.

[woosh]

How about a Gallo24 tune?

[Alpha Trion]

ill be out for sure on friday! will be keen to meet the crew and get some looks at the piggy backs.

Why not do your research like everyone else?

because there's SO much reading and pages on this topic, and it can be tiresome trying to get the answer from so many pages and threads after a search.

I thought quick question = quick answer.

I understand, but there's no clear answer to this question.
