Ss Twin Tube Sec. 2

[benzthis]

that's a good option.i would have gone that route before buying my SS sec 2.

benzthis thank you for the clarification. Since were both from NY you’ve probably heard of Tesh from the monkey wrench. He does some great welding and exhaust work from what I’ve read. I was thinking of having him cut the small resonator in the section 2 and welding in 2 larger resonators.

here’s an example in the photos.

Did you feel a power loss after you installed the resonated x pipe?

my current setup is going to be euro headers, euro cats, eventuri intake, Macht schnell elbow, b&b triflo with modified tips, HTE custom dyno tune. I was thinking SS resonated sec 2 or even Milltek bc it has a collector where the H section is.

i read on Facebook that some members cut out the resonator in the stock section 2 and installed 2 single resonators on each pipe. Still waiting on install photos.

I don't feel a power loss but that doesn't mean I haven't lost power.in this case its the torque not horsepower that is the case.from the old m3forum there was some torque loss compared to the stock sec 2 but killing the rasp was more important to me than losing some torque that I couldn't feel.im sure the SS twin pipe resonated would solve both issues but it wasn't around when I got the SS x pipe.

It's well known that the x pipe sec 2 kills rasp and provides a different "tuner" sound than stock dual pipe.

Two resonators in sect 1 will also kill rasp well.

a rasp killer sect 1 with x pipe sect 2 might kill too much rasp! Might sound too lazy/calm imo. like a v6 mustang

i don't know what your setup is, but in my experience, headers/cats are the biggest controllers of rasp (stock
for section 2s, i've cycled between stock, SS non-resonated, and SS resonated. between the resonated options, there was little to no change in rasp. you're mostly modifying volume when it comes to the section 2

I'm not the only one.check out obioban's vids.he has the SS resonated twin pipe and has zero rasp.
My setup is SS V2 stepped headers, euro cats,SS res sec 2 x pipe and stock muffler.

Based on the videos I’ve seen, seems correct.

SS sec 2 resonated absolutely killed my rasp.maybe my euro cats helped but no rasp.stock sec 2 doesn't stop the rasp at all.

Which section 2? The x pipe or the dual pipe 2.5?

i don't know what your setup is, but in my experience, headers/cats are the biggest controllers of rasp (stock < OE euro < aftermarket in terms of volume and rasp)

supersprint's resonated options aren't going to control rasp any better than a stock section 2
it seems like their resonated Y pipe is more suited for you car. unless you're FI, i wouldn't sleep over passing on their twin pipe option

is your current SS sec2 resonated?

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.

is your current SS sec2 resonated?

^ I’m thinking the same, although don’t have the numbers to know for sure and would be curious to hear from others. Now if you’re otherwise done with all other mods then might as well try it. I’m not which is why im focusing in other areas
