Ss Twin Tube Sec. 2

[Cubieman]

Do you guys honestly think the twin tube on a non cammed engine could potentially make you loose horsepower? i have full ssv1 catted setup with the sport section 3. it still has slight rasp and was thinking the twin tube would tone it down a bit.

I could imagine that oversized piping loosing low/midrange for a few HP way up top on a non-cammed car, but I am not an authority on such things. I think with just an airbox/Stepped headers that the stock sec. 2 is probably the right way to go in my mind, but again I do not know and would be quite interested in other opinions as well.

I talked myself out of it as I need to stop buying power adding items as I'm likely to eat up all my funds and then something will go wrong I can't afford to fix.
It is so fun to come home from work to find a big package of aftermarket stuff on the porch just begging to be installed, it's basically a high for me to browse/buy/install this stuff.

Think I'm just going to stick with an OE Sec. 2 until I get cams, don't know if there would be any gains made with my current setup and the sound may be negatively affected.

Same reason why I opted out. Unless of course ECS decides to do a 50% off cyber Monday sale for one day only like they did back in 2017 then I’ll buy it and keep it in storage until I get cams.

This is my current plan too, I’m skeptical of the power gains of the oversized sect 2 when not running cams or supercharger. Also a non-resonated section 2 will likely drone a lot

I had an unresonated twin pipe with my SCZA. Sold it VERY quickly as the car sounded like a Honda with a fart can. Seriously, it was bad to the point of being embarrassing...

I decided to test out a friend’s SS Race to see if the exhaust change would help. It did improve the note, but only marginally.

I think the resonator makes a world of difference foe rasp based on the videos I’ve been able to watch online. Let’s hope I think the same when it comes

Ok gotcha. Yea that’s why I was asking actually. I was in between that or an SS race section 3 and just pulled the trigger on the SS race.

Is that new or used you’re talking about?

Used, can hardly get them new at MSRP.

Originally I was going to buy a section 3 this year.. and just a few minutes ago a Rogue Engineering El Diablo (what I pictured as the last part of the dream exhaust) showed up for $695 shipped... so you can update that a little lol.

Obioban Wondering if there's a difference in weight with going full SS up to sec 2?

I have smog coming up in next few weeks, just waiting for some nuts/gaskets from fcp. I'll weigh stock headers to section 2 vs ssv1, ss race cats and resonated ss twin pipe. Will add to the weight thread that Heinz started.

I just wonder if a full 2.5 from front to back is too much without cams, that SCZA muffler is 2.5" as well.

I’ve been eyeing this piece as well, but also curious as to how it would affect the car in terms of sound and power. It’s tough to beat the oem section 2. It’s very well engineered lol.

Honestly one of the best times of the year, car santa is best santa. Congrats man.

X pipe must sound really nice, an SS Sport would really round out that build and give it some classy bling out the back
