X Pipe issue / Stage Two Map / De - Carb
Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2017 10:31 am
Not sure if i am pleased or not ? any advice welcome please.
So my car felt sluggish to me and after MRC dyno checked her she came back as 343ps / 400nm which is not good,
advice given was carbon clean, then i wanted a stage two re mapp, it was beleived the clean had been done last year by the owner anyway so we thought their could be another issue (which there was)
so it has been cleaned and mapped, and as i am picking the car up later i dont have exact figures but apparently it came back as 400 - 410 still ? which is disapointing after all that work. So MRC removed my whole exhaust system and run it on dyno and it came back as 435
Now my first question is even at 435 is that good ? as for some reason i was exspecting more, anyway what we thing is now the issue is the x pipe as this is restricting it back to 400 - 410 which is alot.
I did question the x pipe fitters when it was fitted but they assured me it was ok, basically i have a x pipe as in an actual x shape where as i think its supposed to curve in and out rather than a blamtant x shape but advice or pictures welcome on this matter please.
anyway why i am not sure if i am pleased is firstly i put my trust in a garage when fitting the x pipe and it seems they have reduced my power by a fair bit, secondly even when this is changed should i be happy with 435? and lastly should i have the x pipe changed or both pipes just straightend as the box thing has been removed anyway?
any advice much appreciated
