I installed my OSCAI this weekend and am pretty surprised at the difference. I was following the directions for a 2K max, and was expecting to see a resonator, but to my surprise, the "L" pipe that was to be removed was not there on my 2K1. I just thought it was interesting that it didn't have it. It was just capped off. I couldn't believe how easy it was, I should have done it from day one. Now, the pursuit of better and higher performance parts begins. Thanks for listening to me ramble on.

 

Did you punch a whole in the capped off part, or did you just attach a hose to a stub?

 

I just sawed off the end cap part. It deffinately looks ghetto, but it works.

 

How much of a performance increase have you noticed according to your butt dyno? What type of piping did you use? Ridged or smooth? Just curious what methods people are experimenting with.

 

nice..... if you have not already, get a K&N drop in. It will feel a lot better with that

 

I used a semi ridged piping, 3" in size. I wanted to get some smooth piping but couldn't really find anything that i thought would work as well as the flexi pipe stuff, plus my wife was nagging me to hurry up. I got the K&N filter too, seems like it does alot better according to the butt dyno. I am not sure of any sort of figures or anything. I need a stop watch to time my 0-60 time, I can count it in my head and it is under 6 secs. But I am prolly counting a little slow to make myself feel better about my car.

 

Hey Matticus....
How have you liked that UPD you have on your Max? Are you driving a 5spd or auto? I am considering that mod, but haven't heard too many adamant opinions on it yet? Which is more bang for the buck...y-pipe or udp?
thanks dude.

 

Are you sure it was under 6?

 

The new performance mod!! I counted slowly and my 0-60 is now at about 1.5 seconds!

 

Stillen now sells a kindergartner to count your 0-60 time, only $400 per hour...guaranteed to improve your 0-60 time, the one I rented couldn't get past 3...

 

I don't have either one, but the y-pipe will give you more power I believe. I know my head counting is off, just at lunch I counted 4.5 secs. j/k I need to go to the drag strip and find out for sure. Can they deliver Stillens counter anywhere in the country? I would like to rent it also. My 3 year old counts too fast, and he seems to skip 5 all the time.

 

The sawed-off-stub-from-the-L pipe where the shopvac hose attaches to, it can still function without the hose attached to it, right?

Reason I'm asking is when I bring my car to the dealer for any kind of [warranty] service and they find this shopvac hose extending from the L pipe, which is not supposed to be there, that they may make a note and refuse to do warranty service, beacuse it's a modification to the "engine".

I don't know, maybe I'm just paranoid...

 

Sorry Matticus. I thought that you had the UDP and Ypipe already as your mods, but I checked back and they are listed as "soon to come". Sorry for the mix up.

 

Word around the board is that they can only refuse service if the mod directly caused the problem. So if you had warped rotors they couldn't refuse service if you had a oscai...
