possible loss of power with ypipe
what up yall new member to the site. i recently got the stillen ypipe for my auto 2k1 and my curent mods are the greddy evo catback and a place racing cold air. Shockingly i tested my 0-60 and it appeared to knock on almost a second more after the ypipe was installed from a 7.2 to 8.1. it seems as if i feel a little bit of power after 60. does this sound familiar for anyone else with a ypipe or same mods?i also got pulled on by my friends stock 3.5L altima from a roll at 30 by about a good car length. am i wasting my time putting all this money into the max?

i agree with u on the mid to high power from the ypipe, right after 60 i feel a much better launch. i didnt get it used nor did i see any leaks from the car. i tested the 0-60 with my cell phone timer about 3 times. maybe pulleys will make up for the low end. i hope youre right though about the altima, thanks for the opinion

Go to the track and test your mods. Using a handheld timer is be far the worst way to test performance gains/losses.

There's simply NO WAY you can get an accurate performance measurement using a stopwatch and looking at the speedo. There's so much error in that sort of measurement that it's pretty much useless.
Get a G-Tech/PRO performance meter.
Better yet...
Go dyno your car, or as Dave said, go to the track.
