Which is the most restrictive part to the standard exhaust?
If you have the downpipe ONLY and keep the rest of the standard exhaust with just the Stage1 remap I believe that you are getting better cooling(gas release) to the engine but I believe i'm also right in thinking that you are just moving the restriction of gases to the cat!!????...so you are still getting a heat build up thus creating a certain amount of power loss.
Where as if you go for the cat back ONLY you are still getting rid of the gases due to the sports cat and there is no restriction further on down the exhaust so this may be best plus you get the sound.
What I do know is that I could go for a stage 2 but I think it would be just too much funds wise, so im trying to look for alternatives that still give me extra power(stage 1 for definate), engine longevity, cooling.
I just could not no matter what others say get a remap without getting some sort of 'release' to the engine.
My other concern(i haven't many :? ) is that becuase i'm effectively having different parts to the exhaust ie some parts kept as standard, some parts milltek, then there will be problem's with the engine management system.
Can anyone that reads this please give me their opinion because i would really like to make a decision on which way to go. I'm getting sleepless nights!!!!!!
I have had some good advice from various people so far but I guess I want as many thoughts as I can.
