There was 6 gen av6 sedan with an intake,catback exhaust, and vtec controller best time was a 16.2. He was pissed that my times was better.
Since we barely drive this car it my take us 5months to get 5k miles. 1month 1 day 960 miles.
cat-back exhaust is the most pointless and retarded performance mod on an NA AV6, IMHO. It only gives you serious gains above 5500rpm, but LOSSES everywhere else. It kills your low-end torque, makes you slower off the line, and doesn't give you enough extra at the top-end to compensate for all the low/mid-range losses.
Yet people STILL continue to put these things on their cars.
WHY!?
One of the fastest NA Gen6 AV6's on record is BNut, who ran a 15.4 with just an intake (short ram), and
STOCK EXHAUST.
Go figure.
Keep adding those cat-back exhausts to your AV6's, people.
If you guys want fast times, you should try to copy the setups of people that actually GO FAST to begin with, instead of hopping on whatever bandwagon and what's considered 'tite'
Here are some hints:
Short Ram Intake (NOT CAI)
Headers
Denso IK16 plugs
UR Pulleys
STOCK Exhaust
Lightweight wheels.
A good launch.
