Default Trex Cam and TDs w/1 chamber Flows

Well,

there was a post on here a while ago about the new "fad" of 1 chamber flows. I believe its becoming addicting. Here locally i've had mine on my car for about 6 months(pulled off ZR1's for them), and have had three local guys probably gonna switch over after hearing it.


Well, here's my car for anyone who is interested!

It's a Trex cam M6 car, with an old tune in it from the cam before it.


Let me know what you guys think. I'm happy to answer any questions, so ask away!

I haven't readjusted my E-brake cable after the 9" install, so it tends to not hold sometimes. It's more of a "safe than sorry" kind of thing. I know it looks goofy, but if you look close through the vid, behind the car is a big dropoff with a tree......


haha, good question though!

950. Probably needs about 1000 once its all said and done. That was completely cold start. Once the car is heated up, it actually idles very well considering. It never has actually stalled out, it just does ALOT of hunting for idle when it's cold.

It is the TSP TD's(x-pipe) with the flowmaster 1 chambers.


The idle is definately "hunting", but it sounds great once it settles in.

FYI-here's a old vid of my car with the previous cam once it was all tuned in, and with Borla XR1's. I just thought it'd be interesting to compare before/after

Definately TD's dumped. Nothing meaner looking than a TA with dumps. I do not run turndowns, as it seems to disrupt the crisp sound of a TD exhaust.

In a word.....YES. You really have to watch yourself from driving too long at one spurt, because it will leave you with ringing eardrums and that "i just left a concert and talk WAY too loud" chit chat.

I have no sound insulation/deadening in the car, so it's twice as bad for me
