QTEC Down Pipe, freeexhaust by the push of a button... (more)
Have anyone seen the kits they're selling at:
http://www.quicktimeperformance.com
Basicly its an Y-split to put on your exhaust, witch you can open up by hitting a button.
That way you can run free exhaust, with less backpressure and accordingly more power!?
I've seen a guy on the vwvortex-forum running this with an APR s3 kit. gained about 10hp bypassing racecat and exhaust on a transverse...
The car IS LOUD. of course.

My question is:
Wont this be a bad thing!?
We need some backpressure from the exhaust for the engine to run properly?
Jamez.
98 A4 tq avant,
soon with big turbo

I ran this on a long stage 3 car and..............
it lasted a couple of days. Sent it back for a rebuild and it lasted a couple of days once again. The idea is great and when it worked, it worked great but the turbo charged engine is harder on them than a normally aspirated engine. Banks power has an exhaust break system that has a better design but good luck finding room for that type of system under our cars, in fact I did not have much room at all for the one I installed.
