Very nice pics, and great meeting you in person FINALLY!
It was only "ok" meeting everyone else..sorry guys, Kujo took the cake.
What a great day guys. I'm really tired, not sure about you guys.
Since some of you are interested in dyno numbers, I'll spit them out so there's no delay.
All in all, it was a low day on numbers. If you remember, Eric "youreviltwin" got 293hp and 297 ft lbs two or three weeks ago.
Today's were Damon, William (Rageous) and yours truly. Our mods are the same, with exception to exhaust. I got reflashed 45 mins prior to my dyno as well, but we're all same octane same timing, etc. Damon and William were running 19s so we believe that's a slight disadvantage. My disadvantage came to cooling period. We were rushed and I only got reflashed about 2 hours after I was there, so I had to go drive for 15 miles, beat the $hit out of the S4 and come back, and let it cool for about 45. Damon had a little over an 1hr, William about 1:30 hrs I believe. Also, I installed my fullback last night...and I don't know if the break-in makes any difference. Chris "jco310" told me it gets deeper after awhile, so who knows?
Damon 293.75 hp 279.75; ASP straightpipes, thermal catback
Sia 288.75 hp 280.5 ft lbs; LaBree 2 resonator fullback; (same as Eric's setup, minus tips)
"Rageous" 283hp 288 ft lbs; Milltek Non-res fullback 100 mm tips (Rageous, please confirm)
I'll have my graph up in awhile, so you guys can compare bandwidths with each other, if the others post as well. These are peak numbers.
My best cold stock run after 2:30 hrs of cooling, was 271 and 260 ft lbs. Equivalent stock runs to today were 267 251. But the best comparo would be my 45 min cooled chipped run vs today's 45 min cooled chip and exhaust which were 275 hp 271 ft lbs vs today's 289 and 280 ft lbs.
The problem we have with these cars is that once they're hot, it takes awhile to cool down. Also, our cars make A LOT more power when they're cool. 30 mins of extra cooling would make a big difference.
Anyway...great day. David, it was the funniest $hit when you told me "hey Sia, I'm pu$$y David". We took a bunch of rides with each other, and I can see the tip drone being a problem for some. In D mode, there's drone because it kicks the car down to the highest gear, while in S there's no drone since you're in 4th rather than 5th, and the rpms are higher than the 2k where you'd constantly hear drone.
William thought my exhaust was louder outside, but not inside compared to his Milltek non-res fullback. There's less deep interior noise than on the Milltek.
Guys, what do you think? Is my setup too loud for the average S4 gb member? Brent LaBree said that the tips were the cause, compared to Eric's, but they look DAMN good IMO. Feel free to bash my exhaust if you didn't want to in person. I'm in love, so no hard feelings!!
Had a great day. Take care guys. TSLM, give me a call tomorrow to meet up if you'd like.
EDIT: Uploaded dyno. First pull was a 2nd gear pull. My ss probably confused the op. hehe.
