Default My 08 SS vs. 98 Turbocharged 240sx
My brother in law just got his 98 240SX converted to a 5speed. The thing wasn't overly impressive with the auto trans. We decided to get a few runs in to see where his car is at.

I had to drive the 240 though, since he isn't very expierenced with the 5-speed yet, and I still have my ninja driving skills lol

Nice times in the SS, good runs too, I'm curious as to why you have " 3" Downpipe" listed in your mods? You aren't turbo'd are you?

LS4 cars have downpipes.

That is weird, never heard of them on non Turbo cars. I'm assuming its on cars where the headers aren't one piece and need to merge before the cat or something?

It goes from the back manifold to the exhaust.

GM was on crack when they designed our cars. You're lucky Australia isn't so close to the drug producing nations of central and south america.

I went from 13.9 @ 100 to 13.5 @ 101 by switching downpipes. The runs were two weeks apart in nearly identical conditions.
