WJM Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 So...I finally got off my rump roast and put in the catless DP to complement the catless second cat on the Grassroots RX. Here are the specs...ITS COMPLETELY STOCK! No MBC, no fancy intake as its all factory, the suspension is factory, and blah blah....the only mods are the DSM Gen1 BOV i have set up for recirc, a "cherry bomb" and the two gutted cats. The whol exhaust is 2 inches back to the cats, and it looks like 2 1/4 cat back...but the 'bomb' is more like a pea shooter...2 inches at most. Road test...the turbo is at FULL BOOST at 2200!! Amazing...I wonder why...Before hand, with an open intake (cone on t3h MAF) it wouldnt get to full boost until 2500 or later. And for some reason...throttle response is the same if not better than other intake setups....me thinks SUBARU has the stock intake systems designed very well...as stock WRX/STi intakes are plenty good for power levels up to 400~450 hp...and there is not too much difference between the two designs... I thought I'd share... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baccaruda Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 are you goingto chop the airbox next? orrrr..maybe get some 1/4mile or 0-60mph times WITH the airbox/snorkus intact, and then repeat with that sucker gone. we've never gotten some hard numbers on the effect of de-snorkus-izing the airbox, only seat of the pants estimates. granted, i've contributed some of those, and i stand by my estimates, but numbers would be nice...

I know that "to the bridge" (which is about a 0.2 mile run) there is NO difference in top speed between the stock stuff, cone filter, or chop box...only noise differences. This RX is going to stay as stock as possible....maybe an oil cooler addition...and its got a recirc setup that stays. The only mods that increase the "TTB" speed is...boost w/full intake, IC, full exhaust and so on... Dyno results from the chop box, cherry bomb and 12 PSI only show 118 hp...thats THREE (3) HP increase over stock. :-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
