help open turbos

[Johnnyr135]

I am having a problem installing down pipes. If I drive the car with open turbos will it burn everything up underneath the car.

With no downpipes there is nothing to keep the hot exhaust gasses from melting wire harnesses/plastic etc. around the turbos.

So that is a no?

Seems like a bad plan, ever seen how hot cat's can get?? I wouldn't want that right under me!!!, not how bout you bend some pipes and put them facing out the sides like an old stingray so we can see some flames shoot out the side of your car.....I think that'll be hot!!!!

Youse youngsters - them are 'Lake Pipes'. Sheesh:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Yeah, that car was before I was born. Luckily they have a nice little museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky to go see them at. :biggrin:

After that I suggest a boat tour of the caves near by (it was super fun).

Been there - done that (my parents live in BG ; -).

You're right the caves are a decent little side trip and then hit Mammoth a little north on I-65. The Corvette museum is a must and Nashville has one of my favorite auto museums, the Lane Motor Museum.

Actually the cat increases the exhaust temps by about 150 degrees.

It took us hours to install my downpipes.... I dought you will find a muffler shop that will do it....

[ronnyek]

I think anyone with any sort of experience would tell you need SOME pipe after the turbos etc.. I mean if nothing else, for fluid dynamics etc.... I think all in all, nobody is going to tell you its a smart idea in the least.

what is the problem?

[chriscecc914]

I wouldnt do that. Call a shop like ICS to come pick up your car and finish the install.

[jtsherri]

Yeah, dude, don't run your car like that. Not only are you dealing with an EXTREMELY loud car and INSANELY hot gas temps (and flames), but you're also running the car without any o2 readings which WILL throw codes... This is the last thing you want.

If you really can't get them on, have the car flat-bedded to a shop that can finish the job.

Best of luck!

He's installing downpipes, sounds like the install is not going good.

Ok done everything is good, Riss walked me through it what customer service they stayed on the phone forever and made sure everything was ok. I don't have any codes with the DINAN software so far so I did not need to put in the o2 sim. Thank you Riss for all your help.

I didn't get a code until I went on a 4 hour drive.....
