Intake Muffler Delete Lost Power

[Pazzo]

There farking pricey that's for sure.

Does anyone have any proof? Or is this one of those threads where everyone just states how it makes them 'feel'?

Sounds like my turbo spinning backwards because no bov......

The pipes look pretty similar in size. I'll be surprised if I notice a difference changing to the stock muffler thing. I coulda sworn it got laggier when I put the thing on first time though and now someone else said it im curious! Was probably all in my head...

Not at all I asked him if id need a retune after I fitted it and he told me that he has had cars loose power with it. But the f6 has had minimal gains from the muffler delete

Heard the same thing, I had fitted mine then went for a tune and he said the baby turbo prefers the stock pipe, go figure. I trust him. Not worth it just for the note

I have one on my standard tune g6et. I noticed no difference good or bad with it besides a bit more intake/spool noise.
The car ran 13.0 @ 109MPH at Willowbank so I doubt it loses even close to 20rwkw.

I paid $50, I wouldn't pay $200 for one.

May notice bit of a difference if boost is increased

These $200 muffle delete pipes are about as good as the $500-600 intakes you can buy.

Not bagging any of them as I had spent the money on buying these products so just speaking from experiance.

Yes your car sounds better as you get some extra induction noise but appart from that no performance gain. On a tuned car they may offer some gain over a stock setup. But there is not way a muffle delete would result in a power loss as suggested.

Maybe it was just a coincidence to loose power on the dyno then gain when muffler was replaced.
