Review: SuperSprint Twin tube (2x 2.5") Section 2

[x Spades x]

So this is something other than existing 044013 and 044003?

Looks like the video had 044013 on the pipe

"tuned engines hitting 390+ HP!"

False advertisement!! 😅

Bump to an old thread. What was the weight of these?

I have this in my notes:

SSV1 header - 15lbs
SS Sec1 Non Catted - 12.5lbs
SS Sec2 Dual Res - 20lbs

Chiming in on this as I'm looking to get into the SS GB for the 63.5mm system--great thread. From what I read it seems that the 63.5mm section 2 is only really necessary if you are running high HP and other mods like cams, CSL intake, etc.?

My car is totally stock and I'm not chasing high HP, I just need to replace my stock manifolds (bad cats) and pass emissions. For an otherwise stock setup, if I run the 63.5mm manifolds (044001) and 63.5mm catted section 1 (044002), and stock section 2 and rear muffler, is that going to work just fine? Of course, I'd like the full system but cost is a factor. Seems the cats will bolt right up to the Sec2.

Any thoughts are welcome!

I have euro headers, euro cats (sec 1), and a scza. I didn’t like the rasp from that setup so I went with the dual resonated SS section 2. It quieted the car a not but I literally have zero rasp! The butt dyno is also very impressed.

No. I have most bolt on mods, no cams, and I felt a little more grunt. I think Hassan demonstrated an 8whp delta but that was with 280 cams iirc.

The aftermarket sect 2s that lose midrange power are the Y pipe aka "Xpipe" style with no crossover.

The stock sect 2 is a great piece, and it will never be a problem running one, even on a FBO car. Remember, the SS 2.5" is exactly the same as the stock piece, just 3.5mm or 1/8" large diameter.

Thanks for the feedback--but if I did run the 63.5mm sec2, would I lose power?

You are way off on your numbers

pi/4 * 3.375^2 = 8.84sqin
pi/4 * 2.375^2 *2 = 8.85

My phone is not calculating properly. I dug through some boxes and found my old TI-84 which does work properly. I finally got something with similar numbers to yours. It's really frustrating my numbers were so off. You definitely got the right answer.

I still wish we knew if a full 2.5" (including muffler) was of benefit to a non-cammed s54. With just an airbox/tune I wonder what type of result one might except.
I would like to try this Sec. 2 along with my SSV1'S, but with a 2.5" muffler (SCZA) I wonder if it's throwing a hotdog down a hallway w/o the cams.


I also don't know if this engine likes backpressure or not, or simply needs freeflow regardless of engine mods. Sounds like more than a few people have experienced loss of power at the low end with too large of midpipe.

No engine benefits from back pressure.

The loss of low end power is a result of cross over location (or lack of a crossover)— not from too large of a pipe.
