I watched it yesterday, dude that Porsche that you guys tuned is crazy, hahaha the host of the show was like "I've never heard a car engine make that noise before"Â* :2funny:

What's the inside scoop, the guy didn't say how much power he had or what mods he had.

That porsche was off the damn hook!!! Even the guy in the other car was like he just went by me like i was standing still! lol

The thing that irritated me was, he wasnt giving any info on what that car was made of! Its one thing before the race, but when the guy is like, that was awesome, what under the hood, and he replies "stock" STFU! be a man and tell us whats under the damn hood!!!

Nice, but that won't do jack for performance, it's just a luxery so you can retain your cat and still get catless performance.Â* It's pretty cool though.

If you don't have a cat and get this downpipe and open it up you will just end up getting less torque and possibly more hp.

06-05-2008, 03:51 PM
because, 1000 ppl tested them. I gained 34 whp from the qtp downpipe then from my rsr downpipe and hks cat back.


alan gained 53 whp from the qtp to his stock cat back exhaust....


i felt like the qtp gave me more power, then my fp green turbo that i spend 2,000$ on.

LiquidLife
06-05-2008, 03:55 PM
You'll have to forgive my skepticism, but I don't understand why it would give you any more power. What other supporting mods before and after the downpipe install?

pensport
06-05-2008, 04:02 PM
anyone catch supercars exposed the other night on speed... there was a silver porsche that won the shootout they said it was rumored to have 1000hp and looked stock... and had large stickers on the side "Tuning Technologies"

nothing. Just the qtp. uts a cut-out. insteade of the turbo releasing all the air back to the exhaust, it releases it to the cut out dp...

LiquidLife
06-05-2008, 04:08 PM
Yeah, and I can understand that the exhaust gas has less piping to travel through allowing the gas to be released into the atmosphere before building more pressure along the way in a normal length exhaust; creating more power on the top end, but at the same time creating less torque, it's like having 4 inch exhaust piping.

Why don't you just go get a 4 inch exhaust? (3.5 APS)Â* Besides the fact that you can retain your cat of course.

no exhaust is going to give you the performance the qtp downpipe will...

LiquidLife
06-05-2008, 04:45 PM
Well I definetly like the design and the idea.

It would have been 100 times better if they could pull off making the hatch open slowly over the powerband allowing it to retain back pressure for tq on the low end and gradually open to 100% for HP on the high end of the powerband.

06-05-2008, 05:24 PM
how much power did the porchse put down?

skylinefolife
06-05-2008, 06:44 PM
I'm sure that information is 'classified' ca$h. We can only speculate :*(

The TECHART Porsche had '630hp'

So I imagine for the Alexander Porsche to beat the GT1000 to the first run and then to beat the TEACHART porsche in the last straight, even though it had a horrible launch, it must have around 850hp. I might be wrong, but thats my guess. If you guys were to guess, what would be your estimate?

Maybe it has twin GT35R turbos. Lol... Who knows! Its fun to guess though haha

CASH$ MONEY
06-05-2008, 07:20 PM
seriously^^ 650 is alot.

LiquidLife
06-05-2008, 10:08 PM
No drama here, just like to get to the bottom of things. Just think what would happen if everyone took everyone's word for everything and never asked any questions, no one would ever learn.


CASH knows I'm not insulting him or getting angry, although some might think I was annoying :)

LiquidLife
06-05-2008, 10:12 PM
I'm guessing 950 whp.

Hey, would the increase in HP compensate for the decrease in tq, more than compensate - not compensate?

skylinefolife
06-06-2008, 12:37 PM
You might need V-Tec lol

200hp
133tq :*( ftl


Dude I don't even know. But I would guess that it depends on 2 scenarios: are you the 1/4 mile guy, or are you about the 2.4 mile track race?

Thats just my guess, lol sorry.

LiquidLife
06-06-2008, 03:58 PM
It was good that you posted about this exhaust because (not only is it cool) it got me to revisit the subject of backpressure's relationship to torque.Â* I think I finally understand the relationship between backpressure and torque.

A stock engine that can't adjust its fuel delivery needs backpressure to work correctly, but will not affect torque if properly tuned, particularly with turbochared engines.Â* I understand why this downpipe is good now!
