as jewel said. lol

it's pretty nice! better than I thought it would. I can understand some people saying it's raspy, but honestly, I don't think it's that bad. Not bad enough to get a magnaflow xpipe. at least not yet. lol

I would like to maybe put 2.5 pipe all the way through. I think parts of it is 2.25 right now.

Feel any power gains?

I drove it for the first time today and haven't gotten the chance to get on it. You can hear and feel the air flow.

PoorMansCamaro · 04-30-2013, 11:08 AM

it's been rainy the past few days, so I haven't really gotten on it, full throttle. From the driving I have done, it definitely pulls more!

I really wish I could have gotten a before and after dyno, but I just didn't think about it. lol I don't even know where a dyno shop is around here. I'll need it for the nitrous.

Sweet! I need to install mine. Still deciding if to buy just the off-road extensions or cats. I'll get there though

Ooh nitrous

I'm starting to consider nitrous quite a bit. All these stretched timing chain stories are starting to make me lean more towards nitrous versus a supercharger kit.

hopefully the hi flow cats fit. lol can't figure out why they would send extensions that are WAY too long. I cut a good 4 to 6 inches off.

PoorMansCamaro · 04-30-2013, 11:25 AM

I cut off about half of the skinny side off, and a little more than half of the fat side. I should have taken pictures of where I cut.

I wouldn't think the hi flow cats would fit. You cut a lot off the extensions.

Wish we would have taken pictures now

PoorMansCamaro · 04-30-2013, 11:27 AM

in retrospect, I could have just cut the whole skinny part off, but I needed the clamp to hold on to something. that's why I cut some from both ends.

That's certainly interesting, now you have me wondering if they will fit or not. I know a member here has his with the high flow cats they provide but I don't know if he had to do anything to get them to fit.

PoorMansCamaro · 04-30-2013, 11:41 AM

looking at the pictures in the pacesetter thread, started by bmorecam, it looks as though they didn't cut anything. very odd. I wonder if it has anything to do with the way the mrt v2 was installed on jewel. I wasn't with jewel at the time, so not sure what they did to install. that's the only thing I can think of...

edit: thinking about it more, that doesn't make sense. lol

the ones in the pictures could have had the actual exhaust pipes cut, instead of the extensions.

lscamaro · 04-30-2013, 11:51 AM

Yea, cutting the actual exhaust pipes is certainly possible.
