Char's E92 Build thread

[Eye of the Tiger]

Y does a Y pipe need a brand on it?

[Rupert]

That's how you know you're getting a true Y-pipe and not a T-pipe. Engineering and stuff.

[Char]

Y does a Y pipe need a brand on it?

It's tuned to the exhaust gas pulses of the engine, hopefully that means extra horsepower.

[GoCougs]

Y-pipe usually means 4 cyl, turbo.

I'm gonna go with Cobalt SS.

[CALL_911]

I vote GTI

[CALL_911]

Man the MCAT flash cards explain so much. Kid's a frustrated premed

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Nice, so that pipe will probably net what? 20? maybe 30 whp?

Oh man...  That was awesome Sherlock.  Seriously.

Y-pipe usually means 4 cyl, turbo.

Where in a turbo 4 cylinder's exhaust stream would a y pipe fit?

[Char]

5-10whp for a full "Race" exhaust if I'm lucky.
Stock Vs reflash

Not in PreMed, not a kid. Keep guessing.

Uh, that was actually props given your behavior. You should have taken it.

How does a GTI or TSX or all sorts of other such 4 cyl cars have "dual" exhaust?

[Char]

Uh, that was actually props given your behavior. You should have taken it.

I know what it was supposed to mean, and I don't care.

Someone on this forum actually already knows what car it is (I told them), I'll keep dropping hints.

TSXs don't have a true dual system, it just splits at the muffler.

That's not what this is, it's (hopefully) a true single from the exhaust manifolds back. Lighter weight, better exhaust gas scavenging., more power.

I don't think anybody really cares what you drive. So your little secretive game is pretty pathetic.

[Char]

So why comment about it, why are you in this thread?  Exactly.

[FlatBlackCaddy]

Your right, I do care. It's one of the few things left in life that give me any excitement. I can't wait for the day you reveal to us all your astounding piece of automotive hardware. You reign above us dabbling little morsels down to us. Teasing us with a glimpse at greatness.

Though in a way I hope you never tell, for that day we will all be so profoundly shocked that all our grasps at automotive enthusiasm will have been for nothing.

Fair enough, I won't.

and the internets greatest mystery will continue

Both generations of TSX use separate mufflers + y-pipe (one can plainly see the separate mufflers behind each exhaust tip, plus the y junction):

1st gen:

I officially challenge Char to an autocross race. Fastest time on same course wins, no handicaps.

To me this is plainly someone's alter ego as He has alluded to some intimate 'SPIN knowledge.

Who's going to drive char's car?

Who's going to drive char's mom's car?

FTFY

You just restated the same thing I said - It's NOT a true dual system, it splits at the mufflers.

[SVT666]

Char is right.
