Flowmaster and Chip Installed - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Hammer · 03-06-2007

Hey everyone,

I installed the Flowmaster #17115 Cat Back and a Haibeck standard chip this weekend. I am quite happy with the performance and am looking forward to hitting the strip to see what he'll do now. Seat of the pants tells me the car drives better and is a little crisper on the throttle now. There is no resonance from the exhaust except way low in the power band, around 1200 rpm when climbing a small hill is all I noticed. There is a real nice sound when on the throttle and it is quiet at idle.

The system cost $569.95 @ Summit Racing and there is an extra $6.00 shipping fee along with a $10.95 handling fee. I took advantage of those fees and also ordered a new serpentine belt and exhaust wrapping for the system.

Please be sure to post your results or send me a PM or email. I am quite anxious to see what they actually might have picked up. I am thinking, based on Marc's and Hib's posted numbers, that around 22 HP would be what we are shooting for. The TQ and HP curves should be way better though.

Will do Marc guessed at about the same gains when I talked with him. I will be happy if I pick up a solid 20HP

Ted (Demps)....Ted ran the right foot for me on my first dyno at SGC back in 02

All of this talk has got the mod bug biting me hard....must..resist...(until bank account can support it).

As for mine, I've got the Haibeck prom and 3" straight exhaust on mine. I hope to make it to BG and get her on the dyno there.

That's easy for you to say Keith, with the mods I want I'd have to permanently go on Stalin's Gulag diet....however....I'm 60% sure I'm BG bound, will know for sure within the next week.

BTW, what did your black beast dyno at last year? You can pm me if you're too embarrassed to post it here.

I have some Xmas money burning a hole in my pocket; am considering the Flowmasters. Was this a pretty simple bolt-on or is cutting and / or welding needed.

Thanks

The kit is a straight forward bolt on. Just get some better clamps such as http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...53274_-1_11527 remember you'll need one in 2.75" and the rest in 2.5".
