it seems like after i installed my o/r h pipe that i have lost power. with i still had the stock h pipe on and i hit that power band i could feel it in my seat, but now i hardly do. why is this???

Are your cats stock, hi flow or gutted?

Offroad H's will put the power up top (upper rpms). You lose some torque on the bottom end.

WTF are you talking about?

Witrh an off road midpipe, you do indeed gain some extra HP and you can see it on the dyno. Of course, what they don't tell you is that that HP comes near the top end. From a pure Max HP standpoint you will see a higher number on the dyno. But realistically, you may find yourself losing low end numbers and low end torque. It's the torque, or lack thereof, that you really "feel" when you take off.

hm... when i put mine on, it didnt feel faster, but felt like it reved a little faster, and it did break them loose earlier.... did u replace the o2 sensors when you did the pipe? only thing i can think is that maybe you reused the old ones and got them dirty and their effecting the engine.... rly tho, i dunno wut to tell you...maybe its just in ur head

hahah same here. one day he was mad or whatever and was telling everyone to come in for overtime and he was like "yeaaaaaa, i need you to put down for some overtime and uhhh........possibly this might stay a rule if you dont start showing some initiative....yea so if you uhh.....want things to change around here you'll need to show your commitment"

what a douche!.


anyways back to tech, i think exhaust is a head trip. try not to pay attention to it, if you seriously think you lost power your O2's might be shot, did you replace them?

and ignor people who ask about ask about high flow, or gutted cats, thats like forgetting cover sheets on your TPS reports

LOL, he stated the installed the OFF ROAD H-pipe, ie, no CATs.
