3rd set of Turner Test pipes... installed!

kitw · 03-27-2013, 10:32 PM

Just installed Turner test pipes, on a car that may or may not be mine and may or may not be driven on US Public Highways.

They are fantastic, as usual. When I've had them before, I've noticed they increased the amount of drone on certain exhausts... Bizarrely enough, they reduce drone on a few. The Innotech that may or may not be on the White car has gotten a lot less droney open, but is waaay louder with the valves open and when the throttle is pushed. (on a safe track environment of course!)

Tip - Be sure to get the car nice and hot and then tighten the clamps. Mine were tight when the car was cold but loosened up when the car was hot and they leaked just a bit. No more leaks now.

Between that, Euro MDM, and my new Evolve tune, the car may or may not have gently roasted the tires all the way through 1st, and 2nd upon a non-gentle application of throttle. The rear 285/35r18 Michelin PSS had no chance.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming, I'm sure everyone has decided on an exhaust setup now.

My time with my borrowed Evolve X-pipe had come to an end and I had to pass it on.

Whose counting..

You still got the 997TT?

kitw · 03-28-2013, 01:50 PM

hehe, it's for sale! Loved the car, but needed to consolidate to 1 car and the Turbo doesn't always work for hauling the kids around or going to Costco

M3PO · 03-28-2013, 07:05 PM

Hmmmm, sounds like these may or may not be a good product.
