y pipe low end power loss
y pipe low end power loss
I have a PR CAI and recently got a y pipe and i was warned with the cai about the loss of low end power (never really noticed it) however now when i accelerate hard the engine will really lag around 3500 rpm almost like it just stops completely for a split second...then again around 5000 i notice a diff from before i got the y pipe... as it really picks up a bit faster...just making sure this is somewhat normal...i'm still in the break in period for the y pipe (drove 200 miles with it so far) .... i have 5spd in case that matters at all
