I'm gonna let this sink in for a minute

 

[$ub$onic]

A custom, one off 4-2-1 header for the sonic

 

[tbtree55]

get that on your car and post a video asap.

 

[$ub$onic]

It should be on this weekend

 

[ChrisJ]

Nice! But there is something missing but I just can't put my finger on it. Something big and important that makes a beautiful high pitched sound is missing....


Hint.

 

[$ub$onic]

Hahaha, no desire to do that. I'm going for all motor on this build anyways.

I thought you were planning to be one of the first turbo 1.8s?

 

[$ub$onic]

No, that was not me.i still gotta daily this thing till I get my diesel ranger on the road.

I am how ever a supporter of the turbo. I think it will be cool.

 

[mitdr774]

I really wonder how that will sound. I may have a muffler that will help with the rasp from my car, but I wont know until i put a header back on. We all know it wont sell.

 

[$ub$onic]

I plan on sticking with the 2nd cat,res and muffler. So what ever it is it is. I'm not gonna change a thing

Interesting note: this set up deletes the first o2 Sensor and retains the one under the car.


Also, I am planing on building a custom heat shield for it for Obvious reasons.

Isn't the first one the one that actually does something useful and the second simply monitors the cat?

 

[$ub$onic]

That is what I thought too. But I trust Jerry to know what he is doing.

He said just tune out the code with ez flash. So that is what I'm gonna do

 

[$ub$onic]

Just picked these bad boys up for my ranger

 

[$ub$onic]

Header is on and running good. Tuning out the o2 stuff now. Sound clip to come

Nice.

Now get an effing sound clip already

Could you post this and all your current mods in the dyno thread for me and I'll get you added in there for the 2nd 1.8.

Do not add it yet, I think the numbers may be off. They seem to low to be accurate. 93 Hp with intake, tune an cat back? I think not. Fishy fishy

I somehow overlooked your sig and was just "thinking" you had a tune and the new DDM wintake but wasn't sure. But yea those numbers sound off. Mitdr reported 159hp and 130hp with almost identical mods.
