yes and no. The oil market is not driven by fact and logic, it’s a speculative market. Everyone who has ever had oil heat knows this all too well.
Absolutely ANYTHING that even remotely POTENTIALLY affects the availability of oil, drives the per barrel price up & sometimes ridiculously so...
I took some db readings yesterday. Stainless Works headers, no cats, stock resonator, stock mufflers. I have her set to start on quiet mode 24x7.
Cold start: Spike to 105.5db, settles to 92-94db cold idle and idles down to ~75db.
in cab, windows up quiet mode. idle 56db, 75db at in...
The US can't sustain fuel prices even 1/2 what European countries pay. You can drive across several EU countries in the time it takes to traverse, say, Texas.
Ok, I think I have some extra data here. I checked my stainless works cats and they are made by GSport / GESI, part number HPPL-00100. According to the vendor, they're supposed to be good for 500 hp per cat. Sounds cool, right?
How much hp does your whipple Coyote make at stage 2? 700+ with...
That's well outside my wheelhouse, and if you'd ever seen my shop projects, you would never have made a post encouraging me to manufacture something and take it to market. Ever !
good to know. - again, I'm asking here:
any insight into how much the GT500 predator guys / gals have wicked it up and the cats have held? I understand they work on a stock tune, but are some of them going to far? Or are these kind of the bees knees?
Do you have some measurable metrics here? # of drag passes on xxx blower using xxx tune, or number of track days, miles.
If you just commute to work, I'm sure they'll last unless your commute is truly impressive. Beyond that, I'm not certain and not willing to take the chance.
So, how much new technology on the DHSC that isn't already baked into the Dark Horse?
The Predator is already in the Raptor R and GTD, so EPA cert cost and efforts should be minimized. The platform is also already not new, so crash certification, again costs minimized. QA testing, again, the...
Yeah, we've had the discussion about the GT500 cats before, but I'll ask again - will they hold up to the stage 2+ whipple tune, or stage 2+ aftermarket (non-whipple) tune vs. say the stock eaton?
I'm asking.
I'd be ok with extra resonators to calm the sound, not wanting to surrender much any...
My tuner warned me that eventually they will fail under boost at a faster rate than a N/A car. I've lost 3(?) cats on n/a cars. 2 on one of my old Mustangs, Bassani x pipe and one on an old v6 Exploder. All 3 times the cat broke apart and caused a serious impact to power. The Exploder...
custom colors and ambient lighting get reset when the module resets. That happens when there is a pushed software upgrade, possibly when you have low battery, and sometimes it just resets on its own - think microsoft blue screen of death.
The color should be retained. If it's as you...
Careful. Impugning the 6th gen will lead the faithful to hunt you down and burn you at the stake as a heretic. Yes, I know it's supposed to be a 7th gen forum, but see what happens when you don't walk those S550 hating comments criticisms back :cool:
I suppose 'feel' is a subjective term...
