just wondering if any of you guys are using a universal silencer on a 3in tip muffler and what you would recommend?
im not looking to make my exhaust quieter, but i am looking to restrict the air flow a bit. i noticed that with my ebc totally off, my boost creep is crazy. it starts to hit 7psi and it stays there under 4k, but from 4-7k it starts to boost creep to 14psi. thats a lot of creep! im thinking that maybe i can create some backpressure with a silencer so that the WG has less exhaust flow to deal with. i figure the silencer is cheap enough to give it a shot. im also going to test my WG to make sure its not hitting the 3in DP i have. so, post some silencer links guys and tell me what you use! -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

This whole approach to me seem very ill-advised. We open up our exhausts to access additional horsepower. Then, if there is a boost creep issue, we restrict the exhaust?
Why spend several hundred dollars on the performance exhaust in the first place? Creeping boost is NOT an automatic problem with a free flowing exhaust on a ct-26 equipped car. In fact, I could get the gt28rs (with a similarly sized wastegate but much more flow) to hold at 11psi on a full 3" exhaust equipped car. Something is wrong. My recommend is to diagnose the problem and then repair it. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
