FreekDesignz Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 I have a 1991 dodge shadow convertible turbo and I want to know how I can get a bit more power for a bit less cash. Any ideas? ♠ FreekDesignz Demo Collection ♠ Everything You Need To Know About Car Audio Torres' Box Tuning Calculator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrionStang Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 You can usually run a straight exhaust on a turbo application. Make sure the pipes run the length of the car though. Also be aware the it will be very loud. I run my Mustang with no cats OR mufflers and its ridiculous. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nautical7 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 If you gain anything it'll be very minimal and you probly won't notice a difference performance wise, but it'll sound different (could be good or bad, all in preference).

zayres29 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 some engines need back pressure to run properly your being a 91 you might not have that problem but who knows Btw that was the first person. Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michigancapri92 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 if you have a turbo an open exhaust is good but it cant be to open, you need some back pressure otherwise you are going to boost creep like a mother Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also be aware the it will be very loud. I run my Mustang with no cats OR mufflers and its ridiculous. V6? Or V8? Either way I bet it totally sounds like shit. I hate mustangs with "straight pipes". Open headers on a high horsepower big cammed motor is fine. But semi stock v6, or v8 is just WRONG. I have a friend who's got a 3.8 with dual straights, and I refuse to ride with him cause of it. Its against the law and I wish they actually enforce it. Sorry to sound harsh but NOBODY wants to hear that nasty sounding shit, and it makes you look like a idiot.

Nobody wants to hear your fucking diesel either. I didn't do it for anybody, just for the 20hp it puts to the ground. And just FYI, my full exhaust was custom made and the angle of the x-pipe cuts out the raspiness. It sounds good just loud, and will destroy your "15.3sec" Powerstroke in the quarter. Back on topic. Alot of 'high power' motors and most turbo's will gain peak numbers with the straight pipes, but as was said before, the lower rpm range will suffer.
