interested in test pipe. What do I need to get it running...Anyone in Vegas with it?

Checked out this link on AW for the O2 simulator:

Then this one:

This second one looks easier. What should I do? Really interested in this. And want to get it running. I have a leased Audi chipped with Neuspeed, so minimizing the changes that I make to it. Should I get the

a)eurocode one or
b)the Tantrum works one with 3 in diameter.

keeping my stock exhaust, but maybe getting a down pipe. IF so which ones are out there links please. Thanks. I just got my smog check so I should be okay for a while. Wonder how the dealer will treat this. I'll probably take it out when getting it serviced. Okay last question, how much to get it installed?

"Silence" has one, he's in Vegas...

He's running the T28 that pulled on the M3 in that Vid we shot. Shoot him an email, I'm sure he'd meet up with you to take a look. I'd go with the smaller one, the 3" is too big. It's better to start out small and gradually get bigger. You will get a 15Hp gain with the testpipe. Here's a dyno.

12.8 at 113, it was very hot and everyone was running much slower then they

usually do. I cant wait to run in some cold temps at night.

Very nice, I ran a...

15 flat, but my 60' times are 2.5-2.6!!! Can't get this FWD off the line, just spin the tires in 1st and dry hop, really slowing me down, any suggestions besides going with slicks? I'm running 225/40/18, would 245's help? The M3 ran a 13.8, but it was like 98 outside and he was spinning his tires pretty bad too, after we left he finally figured out launch mode, bet he could hit a 13.5, you're right colder temps would help for sure.

I have a suggestion.... get a new driver =p

J/k In all seriousness, I think the new tires will help tremendously. YOu should esasily be able to knock that 60ft time down to a 2.3-2.4

I would have to say

take the 18's off in front and put on a set of smaller wheels if you can. You need more traction with a tire that has more flex on the side walls. Even a 17 would do better with 225/40's with a set of drag radials just for running at the drags. You should be able to get that down to 2.2 or lower even with the way it is if you just find the right rpm to launch at and feather the throttle or slip the clutch a little. We should meet up at fontana some time soon and we can go over some stuff while at the track. Not sure what size brakes you have on there but we could always throw on my 17's that have the Falken sports on it.

BTW if you guys ever want to run to vegas to hit up some of the drag racing at the strip, just say so. I have someone out there I want to meet up while I am out there anyway.
