Worth Putting Test Pipe on????

[Spencer87]

She's back from the dead!

Forget the test pipe. What minor gains you'll have does not compare to the damage you cause for the environment, seriously. You can make better power elsewhere while staying clean. Get a high flow cat is you're strapped for cash and need to resort to that component to make power. At best, a delete pipe can make 10whp and a bit faster spool.

you get a wayy better sound without it and if i was worried about the enviroment id be driving a prius and not a gtr not really worried about emmissions when im driving a sports car

Umm ya its crazy... for example lol Braden, Bradan, Bradin, Bradon, Bradyn, Braidan, Braiden, Braidin, Braidon, Braidyn, Braedan, Braeden, Braedin, Braedon, Braedyn, Braydan, Brayden, Braydin, Braydon, Braydyn, Breidan, Breiden, Breidin, Breidon, Breidyn, Breydan, Breyden, Breydin, Breydon, Breydyn

Ya its good for small yards, big ones not so much. My family actually owns a landscaping/lawn mowing business and I have access to awesome equipment but I like to stick with the basics lol

[quadracer111]

Yeah, spelled the same way... There is about 4 Braden's in our school and every one is spelled differently haha.

Where I live I cant take public transit, so im driving a car either way.

Oh well, im better than the big dually diesel's running 10x to rich with no cats pumping out huge puffs of black smoke every time they accelerate.

There was a picture I seen somewhere, it was some cartoon guy plugging in his electric car thinking he was eco-friendly, then it shows the powerlines running from his house to a huge factory pumping out lots of smoke/smog... No matter what we do, pollution is happening, even by driving an electric car in a way you are polluting. No way around it unless we go stone age OR discover/make some kind of technology where we dont need to burn things for energy and is cheap/practical.

With that lawnmower it would take 6 hours to cut our backyard hahaha.

.... you have a push mower? lol sweet. I couldn't find one that worked for me so I got an electric :s

Ya its actually very good here is basically the same one I have.

[NismoS-tune]

I know you're good for it Braden and you're right about the car vs. the mexican golf but if the other somany miillions think like that, we're therefor worse than the oil spill... but IMO I still think the cat which cuts out the real bad shiet works good when the other million people around do/could do the same..

Like I said tho, I'm not green to the 9s, I work for an oil company ROFL! though we do our best to be clean in a dirty place. I guess even if I were the smartest retard, i'd still be a retard lmao.

Sweeeeet, actually spelled the same? I have seen like 10 different ways of writing it.


And I do my part... When I drive day to day its a 40mpg Corolla car pooling with 2 others, I recycle everything, never buy bottled water, use high efficiency appliances, Thermostat is on a timer, mow my lawn with non gas/electric mower... etc I could go on all day but when it comes to my car... building LS RX7 I don't see a point in trying to be green. As its only gets driven MAYBE 3000kms a year and its not exactly easy on gas lol.

And when you think of it, 1 car running no cat is better than a oil company dropping 206 million gallons of oil into the gulf of Mexico.

.... you have a push mower? lol sweet. I couldn't find one that worked for me so I got an electric :s


In the end, removing the cat means you won't make a big different if you're alone doing it but you won't be waking up knowing you're making a real difference Unless you recycle condoms or something crazy hahaha

see i dont really wanna pay to register my car and then let it sit there while spending more money to take a bus which polutes more then my car

Car registries are about $1100 a year for full coverage for me, the bus is like $30 per month (gold pass so to speak, to go to work). You're right, the bus pollutes more than your car (uses low sulfur diesel) but when you have 43 other passengers with you, their 20-40 cars depending on if they were to car pool paired up or not, pulley much much more. Plus I sleep on the bus. In the end, I have less maintenance to pay on my car, I can enjoy my car on fun trips rather than the light to light commute to work, insurance is cheaper (when you don't drive to work, if claimed as such).

Here's a fact, based on what I see in my life... Most of my coworkers that drive in put close to 30,000km a year on drive back and forth to work alone. Then they have they're "at home" driving like groceries, movies, gas, vacations, visits, ect. So, if they pay $1 per L, just driving to work and they're car does 32km per gallon, they burned about $3,562.95 worth of gas. Then you add you're errands. Let's say they're going around like I do, putting another 12 ,000km (which is nothing), that's another $1,425.00 or so into your gas tank. Add maintenance like oil changes and stuff ( $70 or so per), it goes up so more.

This is just how I see it where I live and who I work with so I know we're all different. Some people simply drive to the nearest wallmart or video store for work and it would be less.

Either way, I technecally save $3500 (at the very very least) a year by not driving to work, though it's not saved as it goes right back into the car lol. The pollution is reduced by that much....

wellllll since I'm way off topic now, I'm sorry lol I just got off nightshifts haha.

I'm not green peace but I do my best to do the Rs, including reusing/recycling every I can around the house. It's not too difficult, just takes time to get used to. I drive a gas guzzling skyline but it's only 4000km a year with a catalyzer lol.

5 years on the bus (where I sleep, watch TV or movies on my ipod or read) paid for my engine haha I'm tired...

sorry.

I don't think leaving a cat in a 500hp 15+ year old car is really helping lol

I don't have 500hp, and have a Cat I know what you mean though. I burn pretty rich but the new/modern catalyzer I have does very well at removing the really bad stuff. when you're over 500hp, 10hp doesn't matter.

[NismoS-tune]

truth is the more there are people who think like you, the more is does kill the earth. That's why I only put 12,000km per year on both my cars combined while working 30% more days than the 40hour work week I take the bus to and from work.

+ old vehicles like these didn't have great emissions to begin with especially cars like the Skyline. If you want to help the environment I recommend driving a smart car, and dedicate your life to creating environmentally friendly jet fuel lol

Thats true, a 2 liter (or 2.6 if your baller :P) straight 6 shouldnt be pumping out that much emissions anyway.


ps. we have the same name.

[Nismo_line]

lol, thats what I was thinking
How was the meet Fox, a lot of Nissans??

it wasnt bad not alot of people showed up there were 3 350zs and 4 skylines i guess not alot of people knew about our rain date but any ways i am going to just drill and weld in a bung for the exhaust temp sensor

[JNS Performance]

Exactly, our catalytic converters are so old now I highly doubt they are doing anything..

Rip em out IMO.


Stanaz, I heard a r32 gts-t like that on youtube, very deep and throaty... Sounds amazing.
