ive picked up a stainless steel 4 branch manifold, front pipe, and another straight pipe that leads into the cat for 50 euros, its a janspeed system
ive put it on my car and have noticed huge power gains
low end torque has increased, and my rev limiter has an extra 2 revs
but this is the part that intrests me
my vtec before kicked in at 5200 rpm
with the stainless on, it kicks in at 4900 revs under full throttle, half throttle its 5200 rpm as normal
the kick is the same strenght,and trough out the rev range it seems to be getting faster and faster. and its been like this since saturday,(when i fitted it) its now wednesday and not once has the engine managment light come on, neither has it lost or burnt any oil (all normal aswell)
this is my first time getting stainless steel manifolds and exhaust, for any 1 with performance cars, this is a must do mod, if you dont like niosy back boxes, thats ok, i have the standard system from the cat back
but back to why the vtec is kicking in earlier, would this be because the engine is breathing much better now??
im eager to know about all this, thanks
