Turbo Back Exhaust Packages - $950

ahhhh I see grass hopper!

I had no idea stock figures were #2

Now I just dont see where you subtacted what numbers to get a 45hp mid range gain.

PS still unclear what the set up was on the car for this dyno isnt it?

*squints* I think I got the right numbers...

stock midrange: 170hp 215tq
exhaust midrange: 189hp 255tq

right?

 

[whitey4311]

Yeah thats 19hp isnt it?

So if thats the full TBE with PG test pipe then gains arent going to be near 40hp. I figured that sounded like a s*** load of gains, not like we added a bigger turbo or anything.

that corksport dyno is JUST the corksport exhaust.

SO thats just the CBE or I wonder if its with the DP too?

If thats just the CBE I thought there werent gains to be had from it so that makes me think the DP must be included in that dyno.

Still its 19hp at best gains right?

30 something peak gains I belive. Now im lost.. damnit.

Where did that dyno come from? Brb.. gonna go look it up

ok.. its just the cat back exhaust according to corksports website.

CorkSport "Power Series" 80mm exhaust system

CorkSport 'Power Series' 80mm exhaust system

The CorkSport "Power Series" 80mm exhaust system is a bolt up cat back for the Mazdaspeed 3. The CorkSport "Power Series" exhaust features 304 stainless steel piping, mandrel bends and a mirror polish finish. The exhaust system comes with complete installation instructions and all the needed gaskets and hardware. Sound Clip #1 Sound Clip #2 Sound Clip #3

The CorkSport Mazdaspeed 3 gains 19 hp and 5 torque at the wheels. Dyno Sheet

no dyno sheet for the downpipe, only a video of it on a dyno.

 

[whitey4311]

No its only 19hp at best gains.

So then a CPE has gains on this car?

I wanted to just do a minor improvement for cheap at a local Muffler custom shop and do a 2.5 inch mandrel bent system with a flow master or something.

The owner told me there were no gains to be made after looking at the stock set up. He said about all I would get was a ton of cabin noise but no real gains since all our resonators are straight through and I read that the muffler thing at the end is straight though as well. He said if thats true then there would be no change by making another mandrel bent pipe or deleting the resonators.

So then we still need a Dyno of the full TBE. I guess I will kick back and wait for someone to get one so we can hear back. Still I stuggle with spending $900 bucks on something that I will have to unbolt when I sell it. I suppose I can sell private party and up the price a bit for the mods the car has but to smog they will have to change out the DP to pass I would think.

we are adding GHL exhausts to this list as well;

So is that a Corksport DP, Protege Garage TP, and GLH CB in the deal? Sign me up more I have heard that the tip of the GLH sits oh so perfectly on the MS3

I would buy, if there is a GHL turbo back system. I like the sound from GHL and the drone free claim

 

[Haltech]

I have a PG test pipe in route, plus the GHL exhaust. Im holding off on the DP until i decide which direction i go with the turbo. Its either a new one or a ported/reworked stocker. I dont want to change the DP twice. Im realistically looking at 20 - 25hp to the wheels and ill be ok with that.

Count me in if this is one of the choices.

We need to wait for a dyno on a complete 3 piece Corksport system and base our descisions on that.We need to see real life figures from someone,before dropping 1k into it.Having said that if this 3 piece system down pipe,test pipe.full exhaust gives 25-30hp@wheels then its a mega steal and will take our cars to the super car catagory,we`ll be able to compete with current and upcoming STI`s,335i, and evo X`S.300-320HP @ crank is no small figure for a car that is FWD and weighs 3153lbs only.With 310hp on tap Our 0-60mph times should be in the region of 4.7-4.9 sec

335i 300hp@3582 lbs
MS3 263hp@3153lbs with Corksport 3 piece system 300hp
WRXSTI 300hp@3298lbs
EVOIII 286hp@3285lbs

 

[SPEED305]

damn, have i been gone that long, i first saw $800, now we to 950. damn.

 

[Craighjr]

799 was never the price. Someone just threw that out there, they would pay that for a turbo back. Thats unrealistic when the starting price is 950.

 

[mcopare]

GHL is where it is at....zero drone!!!!

 

[funkyman]

Is the WHP to Crank HP ratio 1:1.28 roughly 28% more
19hp gain @ wheel=19x1.28=24hp i believe
Thats what corksport exhaust gives apparently and thats without downpipe.I figure with its 35hp so add another 35 to 263 you`ll get 298hp at crank not bad.

Question to Nutari.Assuming we went with the system #1 UPGRADE and a cold intake,how do we go about determining an accurate estimate of the power increase when the manufacturers are claiming different amounts for each individual part .Eg Exhaust,test pipe,down pipe,intake combination would give us howmuch@ crank would you say with a realistic modest estimate.

By dynoing before and after.

Yup. There is no way to tell you how much YOU specifically will make. Different altitudes, humidity, temperature, etc will determine everything. We can tell you how much each part, by themselves, in that particular climate added to that specific car which was driven a particular way for whatever many miles.

got that?

in the end, I'd say a good CATLESS turbo back exhaust would get you at least 40hp to the wheels. Total estimate of course.

C'mon guys, I'm waiting to order this in hopes to save a bit of money. Nobody else is interested?
