Go RPI! I like to see a vendor stepping up for a small community.
If I could find an extra ECU so I could keep my stock ecu stock, I would buy that system you guys are promoting.

Stromung still have not called me. I have the RPI scoops, if this is done in a reasonable time with reasonable pricing (no gouging), I am in.

Ok so I got a chance to take Laidback's car out for a spin and let me tell you the exhaust is LOUD. I'm not sure if it'll be this loud for the final product but yea the sound is great and I love the way it burbles when you let off the accelerator. If they can keep the same sound but tone down the volume a lil bit then this would the perfect exhaust. I can't wait to hear it when Eloy finishes it up. Get excited guys...this exhaust is awesome!

For that very reason, all our products are made in the USA and we never low ball any of our manufacturers. When you do, most companies will start to make compromises both in the material, r&d and production quality just to make your price. As for the exhaust, I've said it before....the stock one is not restrictive by ANY means and its going to take a lot more than hacking a muffler off or retro fitting an aftermarket muffler in place. Because of that, its going to take a LOT of work in developing a system that is going to perform better than stock. |

Hehe, anyways, NO WAY, will the exhaust sound like that if it goes into production. Its got to be toned down and we HAVE to tune the sound. Yes, we DO tune the sound by way of pipe angles, diameters, wall thickness, inner perforations, etc. |

I think that all these wrhp gains are wonderful in the fact that everyone that has it done to their car can instantly tell such a big difference in the way their car drives. Butt dyno's are wonderful! Shoot, some electronics, some breathing and some exaust and my Z is faster than an M for a 1/4 the price.
When is someone with these wrhp gains going to do some certified timed speed before and after runs? How about it? |

Did some short runs in an abandoned road ...did it on 2nd gear on Zeddy4me (RPI Ram air scoops, AFE intake and stromung exhaust) and me (RPI RAM AIR SCOOPS WITH POWERCHIP SOFTWARE) from 2nd gear, with him half a car lengths ahead from the start i pulled half a car length at the end of second gear (which means 1 car length by the end of second gear; if we started both at the same spot btw both with passengers)...the runs were very short stop light to stop light, but we did a dead stop run 0-60 and i mis shifted (my bad and i think age is catching up lol), would like to do 2nd or third gear till 4/6th gear next time...and again with another Z4M roadster stock (driver but no passenger) and me with a passenger starting from 60 on third gear till 4th the Z4MC with RPI SCOOPS AND SOFTWARE pulled atleast 1 1/2 car length but again too short of a run. All the runs from mho are too short even if i all pulled away as there is not enough room to really take it to all the gears ...this are just some friendly run that we did while on Mexico... hopefully we can do further testing soon

granted laidback dropped the clutch in 2nd gear and I let the rpms die in 2nd and just mashed the pedal ( lug lug )...
very inconclusive run... we need to do it again several times to get some better results... Yeah, the 0-60 dead stop run, I saw you disappear too quick in my side mirror... I knew there was something wrong, hehehe.... Guys, I did drive the car and driveability is excellent, like laidback said, no bunny hop and just smooth power delivery... did feel a bit more torque too... LETS DO IT AGAIN!! soon....

It was so funny to meet all of you guys on that road in Mexico ... so strange that we'd all be over there at the same time!!
The race needs to be rerun for sure ... me or Mandisa will do the video taping .. and no passengers this time! I want to see three gears all out to see how this pans out. Closing thoughts - The RPI exhaust is loud as sin ... seriously, mine(BMS) and Zeddy's (Stromung) sound like child's play next to that Laidback's coupe. jim |

Come on Dave, lets have a dyno shoot out, then we'll take both cars out to run them on the highway. We've been waiting for the two of you to run for a long time. Thats probably the best way to compare the cars. The dyno doesnt lie. Also, Chris has the manboobies. That alone should put him in a handicap.
