New Exhaust and 1/4 times Posted By: ScreaminEagle91 On: 10-28-2008 @ 17:18:48 Reply | Edit Magnaflow catback with a QTP stainless cutout. 
With the new exhaust on and about a month of break in (it sounds better every day) I decided to take it to the track. I ran with the cutout closed all four times. I went to Cecil County Dragway in MD, right across the Mason Dixon. First run RT .237 60' 2.140 1/8 9.121 1/4 14.098 MPH 99.49 Second run (new best) RT .155 60' 2.041 1/8 8.901 1/4 13.801 MPH 100.66 Third run RT .162 60' 2.077 1/8 9.015 1/4 13.989 MPH 99.57 Fourth run RT .193 60' 2.075 1/8 8.999 1/4 13.902 MPH 100.76 I parked it and was gonna run later in the night, but the track got all gunked up, closing one lane, then opening it back up, then closing again, then closing the other lane. Seemed like every half hour someone was blowin up or breakin something and dumping fluid. There was alot of cars waiting, and it was late, so i gave up the wait. But all in all, a good night, a new personal best by nearly 2 tenths, and crackin triple digits in the trap speed. --

It comes in the Thunder Racing performance package which looks like a good deal. Really liking the stainless cutout. -- Red 2009 G8 GT Red 2002 Camaro Z28 M6 Blue 1994 Camaro Z28 A4 Posted By: 87bandit On: 11-04-2008 @ 12:53:35 Reply | Top | Edit I really didn't like the magnaflow when I first got it, then it broke in and I feel in love --

Its kinda funny what happened. I bought the exhaust, and a lifter started tapping, so i decided to forgo headers until next year and just get the catback on. Well the lifter tapped for nearly two months, and then one day POOF it stopped and hasnt made a peep since. I really wish i had put the headers on this summer, but oh well. My buddy called me up the week the lifter shut up, and asked me if i wanted to go to the track, cause he was bringing his GSXR 750 down. I had a FULL tank of gas, but said what the hell, and went anyway. After my second run, when i came back around to pick up my timeslip, they told me i needed to wear a helmet, so the next to runs i was wearing a Jixxer helmet! LOL I finally bought a helmet last week, so now i dont need to borrow one anymore, but i thought it was odd they let me run at 99 mph w/o a lid, but cracked 100 and told me i needed one. I must have run a half dozen passes at 99 mph too. Oh well, thats Cecil County MD for ya i guess. --

Looks real nice if ya ask me and besides that it's not messed up structure wise. Me like. Since I've gotten my magnaflow dual x-pipe with two round stainless magnaflow muffs, I just love the sound. Best exhaust I've had yet. It does start to sound a little different too after about 500 miles. Strange, I've never realy noticed that before. Once you get some DR on some Salad shooters your bound to drop .2 off that 60' time and start running around the 8.7 range in the 1.8th. Those are realy good times for your mods too by the way. --

Will DRs work well with the stock trans and stall? Out of my dozen runs or so, i think Ive pulled a 2.0 60' about 9 or 10 times, and Ill never improve my 1/4 times if i dont launch better. Should I load it up hard against the stall, like almost ready to do a powerstand, and then give it hell at the tree? My RTs are good, and i get the pedal on the floor quick, but i think i can get a 13.50 as is, with a good launch of course. --

Usually when you order a TC the stall your ordering is refered to as the "flash stall" not the "brake stall". My converter is a Vigi with a tight STR so it doesn't "brake stall" too high. Back when my motor was stock I used a 3k stall and DR. On a good track day with a track on good track prep and radials set to about 14 to 18psi I'd net consistent 1.80x 60' times. Now with a stall like that you need tranny cooler and hey a tranny rebuild from someone like Frank at CPT will net you a combo that will actually last. Trust me I know(broke the 60E 3 times, check sig.). I recommend Vigilante, Yank and Pro Torque torque converters. They will run you $700 to $1000 but are worth the money. If you want something quick and more affordable that will get the job done but I wouldn't use with a power adder is Fuddle, TCI, Midwest. All at 3000 to 3400 stall ratings with a 2.0 to a 2.5 STR depending on what your looking for. A "Race" rebuild from Frank at the link below will take care of you in the tranny department for a long time. http://www.cahallperformancetransmissions.com/ You have to send the tranny to him and DHL will ship it for ya. Tranny $1k + Shipping/Handling both ways $200 + a nice new non power adder TC $300 + $80 for a tranny cooler and your talking $1600 for a great combo after tranny fluid and all is added in to the $. You do the install yourself or with the help of a friend. The price you pay going this route is the going total price for a tranny shop to rebuild your tranny with a "stock" rebuild that may or may not be worth its weight on top of the piece of paper that came with it. Long story short, don't use AAMCO($2500 for tranny and with $1k for a "lifetime warranty" and I have a big hunk of worthless tranny still sitting in the old barn and the car runs great now with this new tranny). -- WARNING!!! Don't use  AAMCO/Raptor Tranny shops! Posted By: Airbornec507 On: 11-22-2008 @ 20:48:25 Reply | Top | Edit Looks like Frank's link doesn't work right now. His # is 302-250-1202. For now I'd recomend a 3k stall and tranny cooler for you on some M/T DR and say high to low 1.8 60' times maybee better. --

I wasn't transfering weight either. But that in the past Due to all the mods tune up etc. Dude I live in the area and was shocked when I saw you're car in front of the firehouse. I didn't have the car out much this year. It's black with weld drag lites and a 4" flat black cowl hood. May have seen me or not. I need to update my sig. When i ran the car it was the way i bought it I added the hood and wheels and that was it. I bought cheap with a bad opti. It was forsale at the 472 park and ride it sat for a year until i sold my 96ss. I now have a ton of aftermarket parts full exhaust. It runs like a rapped ape. Still a custom tune and some RR's [ Edited on 12/19/2008 @ 05:14:02 ] Posted By: 1993fbody On: 12-19-2008 @ 05:08:04 Reply | Top | Edit Owe that's a nice job on the exhaust and the cutout did Jennings do the work?

Its not as easy as you would think to put the cutout in, you have the unbolt the catback and push in it hard as hell. I have the catalytic converter on it now, to keep it emissions legal. Did you run at Cecil? --
