EPIDEMIC

hmmmmmmmmmmmm def gotta look into this

rrimportracer

i ordered my invidia one, should be here by friday i hope let youknow how it goes

I got the creative compacts one.

No problems from the pipe. The O2 sensor itself has very delicate tread, and has fallen out before. Be sure to seal both ends and the O2 sensor in with RTV silicone (<$5 at autozone, the red stuff) and you should never have a problem'

In addition, all spipes have the potential to cause a slightly rougher idle. This is due to a change in how exhaust flow goes over the O2 sensor. I've had it on occaision, but it's not that bad.

so if i have an injen cai and megan drift spec, if i were to add an s-pipe would it make the setup louder or raspy at all? i dont want a header cuz thats the king of raspy

FredyCakes07

i have a CAI and the DC racer header and planning on geting the Hks High-Power Exhaust and i was just wondering what could i buy to quite down the exhaust so it won't sound all nasty and raspy. i lvoe that deep rumble of the exhaust and i feel like when i get it i mgiht have this high pitched noise

Um, for the Invidia S-Pipe try here

Better price than I've seen posted in this thread.

dummy question here:

Will aftermarket S-pipe fit onto OEM exhaust? Will this make any notable difference than current stock setup?

tikbhoy

its not dumb

yes it will fit, difference ? not until u swap the header. the main cat is the biggest restriction

nlombardi1

how does this s-pipe compare to the zpi s-pipe and others. do you (invidia) make the mid pipe like zpi?? cuz that would be very nice. and if you do you will it work with my hks hi-power exhaust??? Pray

redwar1441

somethings wrong. the secondary o2 sensor has no input at all on engine control functions. all it is is an emmisions sniffer and tells the ecu if the cat works.

nlombardi1

which s-pipe gives you the most hp?? i'm liking the invidia. but which one has the most hp??? torque??

fishingexpert87

i love the invidia s-pipe, i swear it gave me so much help in power, and sounds so much nicer with my exhaust, kinda sounds like a supercharger

nlombardi1

nice. what kind of exhaust do you have? does or will invidia ever make a mid-pipe for our tC's??

your gonna have trouble getting rid of rasp with that setup. any exhaust that makes noise by itself is magnified by a header due to increased exhaust gas flow. when the exhaust system can no longer slow down the exhaust flow enuf to quiet it down a bit the fast moving gases vibrate too much and you get what everyone calls rasp. the HKS is a loud exhaust by itself. with a header it will sound like trash. you might want to add a Hi-flow cat and resonator to it to get it sumwhere close to ok to deal with. but then i dont really dig the HKS' tone

i have a magnaflow cat-back with a magnaflow resonator welded on and its pretty quiet. in fact it was quiet as or more quiet than stock. when i put the header on it opened back up and there is a smmmaaaaaaall amount of rasp at about 2900-3100 rpms. still doesnt sound as good as my old TRD did but oh well, im going for performance now.

i have the megan drift spec exhaust, invidia s-pipe, injen cai, zpi light weight pulley i can make some videos if you guys want?

I got the ZPI S-Pipe with the Alphawerks headers and it took my Dad a while to install it cuz it wouldn't fit right, but I recommened getting the MMW since it's headers and s-pipe all in one...

nlombardi1

yes, please!!

From my experience, the Invidia S-Pipe is great. The fitment was spot on. Took under an hour to remove OEM S-Pipe and the Invidia one installed in like 15 minutes. Just be careful removing and then re-installing the O2 sensor. It's a bit sticky. I bought through wesellcarparts. Got a great deal and they may still have an ad in the sponsered sales link for the same deal. It is a little rougher idling on a cold morning, but all in all I'm very pleased. Butt dyno can't tell a tremendous difference, but I'm sure it helped considering how funky the stocker is.
