y pipe, pipe and can choices

[summit1974]

has anyone tried ceramic coating the stock brp exhaust and y-pipe?

We have had great success with the spi pipe and y pipe combo $760.00 for both and both are ceramic coated. You are correct in saying a spike in hp is not a gain. I believe to consciously sell a pipe combo there has to be noticeable gains on the complete rpm range. I also believe in order to make any flow changes to the exhaust side of an engine you should be prepared to make changes to the intake side as well to allow maximum flow in and out. Etecs are a breed all on their own when it comes to sensor placement in both the pipe and the can which IMO is the bulk of problems with hp loss and check engine lights. Keep in mind oem manufacturers make things good enough, but is it as good as it could be?? If it was we have only stock classes in the racing world because there would be absolutely no gains in any aftermarket parts.

are you saying that with the spi pipe and y pipe you need an aftermarket air box to get any benefit ?

I wouldn't say an after market box but probably some air box mods would be a good idea.

I would just put some SLP flow rights in the upper air box so if the stock ones get plugged of it would still breath good. And if need to pull more air it could do that to.

Thought about doing it. Think it might be lighter actually. Don't really see how it would flow much better at all tho?

I never tried it but heard it worked good. I like the way it hooks the upper and lower air boxes together.

I can't see it flowing any better. But I think its weather or not it stays as hot.

It sure looks like it would flow more.

I cant see it insulating as well as insulation...lol

from what i understand the keeping the heat from dissipating out keeps the hot exhaust moving out the pipe.Nobody makes an aftermarket exhaust that is insulated like a stock pipe?or do they?thus ceramic must be lighter and insulate better.

Anyone try wrapping the exhaust like car headers with header wrap? Keep pipe heat in well and keep engine bay temps down?

Yeah I,ve done that works good. After market pipes, are generally lighter and people want them to look cool. Stock pipe looks hurtin,, but it works good. Aftermarket single pipe setups for the ectec don't do chit......
