Rogue Engineering 2.5” resonated section 1

[DropTopKingM3]

So far this looks very promising. Rogue has been producing quality parts for our cars for years now.

Let’s discuss.

Looks very cool. This is a bit of a newb question: would it be possible to weld a cat into a piece like this? Or would it never make sense to do that when you can simply buy a catted section 1 if you want to run a cat?

I was thinking the same thing. Ben said yes its possible. Im assuming a GESI catalytic converter would fit but don't quote me.

DropTopKingM3 you are the devil on my shoulder getting me to give all my money away!

It started with the Black Friday Eventuri Deal, now this

Sure would go nice with my Diablo section 3.

Ahah even my friends tell me I’m a bad influence sometime. But did they die ? 😂😂

did the eventuri come in yet ?

"did the eventuri come in yet ?"

Not yet

not a fan of it unless its fully partitioned

I ended up buying an Eventuri too because of him lol

Eventuri gang 💪

I purchased mine back in October and waited about 3 weeks for it. I’m still waiting on 2 other items that I purchased cyber week that are still stuck in transit.

You would hope. Isn't the box in our stock sect 2 so?

Also, there are no 2.5" header outlets that mate using stock style flanges. So you've got 55mm > 63.5mm back down to 57.5mm or so in sect 2.

Seems to me, if you're gonna go 2.5" at all, the headers should be priority. But if you do 2.5" ssv1s, you can't mate to this RE sect 1.

That would make no sense for someone to use this section 1 then...from a performance/ flow/ pipe sizing standpoint

[Tbonem3]

I think it might flow a bit better, but what 3-5hp? Just put the $600 or whatever this pipe costs towards stepped headers imo. Ssv2 + stock sect 1 over euro headers + this pipe is my guess.

Is the 3-5hp an estimate for this section 1 or are you referring to SSV2? If so would it be beneficial for someone who wants to eliminate rasp and add 3-5hp?

[jbfrancis3]

The description alludes to the need for greater sound control as being the primary purpose for development. I'm sure some customers were critical of the smaller tubing in the early version so they wanted to meet customer expectations. Sure, v2 will flow more on its own and you can't fault them for marketing as such.

But this is all tells you that there aren't going to be meaningful improvements to power - that's where Tbone was going.

Edit - I'm curious what Rogue means by muffler-style solution and wonder if that means internal baffling.

[digger]

I think it just means twin in out straight through with perforated tube instead of twin hotdogs
