RPI GT Race exhaust...

nmulax · 02-25-2009, 07:32 PM

I'd even consider making the drive, but I have the ESS software now, so no longer stock.

see attached, if anyone is thinking of trying out "mydrive", i give it my highest endorsement, very professional, very little restraint and chasing around didier theys is a humbling experience!

That Alfa puts everything else in that photo to shame, its freaking beautiful that 8c.

cal meeker · 02-25-2009, 08:04 PM

the alfa had a "note" that was simply stunning on the downshift (paddle)
- the mclaren was the most overated
- audi R8 the most underated, or maybe the best bang for your buck
- alfa is a brute, very detroit muscle feeling
- 430, its a ferrari, say no more
- lambo, surprised at fit and finish of interior. but no where near the stability of my gt40 over 150, very skittish
- maserati, nice for the wife

strictly my opinion.

12 of us leased all six for the day, got about 20min in each. all types of roads near borrego springs. pushed both the lambo and mclaren past 150 on the stretches than presented the opportunity. overall, felt i could drive the R8 the fastest, felt very uncomfortable in the mclaren.
if anyone is thinking about doing the "mydrive" experience, you wont be disappointed

At the price and quality being offered i don't think i even need a dyno result to purchase. Anyone else feel the same?

Some aftermarket tunes, intakes, etc. can all give a "good" dyno pull but many suffer from being able to back it up. We want to eliminate any chance of the gains or losses being from something else other than our exhaust.

How about I buy you a plane ticket to Boston, pay for you to ship the exhaust here and we go to a trusted dyno shop in the area.

i feel the dyno they have would be enough. or they could get another car on the dyno but it doesn't have to be stock. As long as they can show it didn't lose any power im pretty sure everyone would be in.

Thanks for the update. This may be the most ridiculously long development program for mufflers ever

And yes, like others I would buy today, I could give two sh*ts about multiple dyno runs.

mpower03 · 03-04-2009, 08:03 PM

yeah as long as the car doesn't lose power anywhere i am good. one car is sufficient to make that call.

cal meeker · 03-05-2009, 11:09 AM

my car will be registered / insured today, will do my best to get it up to RPI next week, total mileage is 1300, no mods, 100% original
thanks

-Dinan usually tests their products for a minimum of one YEAR after the production version is considered ready. By comparison this isn't much of a wait. Quality takes time...if you don't care, then don't care and buy some readily available crap mufflers

-I'm not going to point fingers at what I consider "crap" (I've been told it's rude). But if you search for Z4 M mufflers on the various Z forums there are products out there for those who don't care about performance or quality.
