Lost HP?

ShiraiwaRiku · 07-14-2006, 05:30 PM

some people said that the Kerscher exaust and the Hamann Exaust loses HP?

does anyone knows why it has negative HP?

by changing the air intake, will it make the exaust positive?

sorry for bring a total noob

EDIT: Did not know that the results were not to be posted.

So ill just state my opinion, they sound good and they are very clean, as far as performance it could be diffrent on your car

RaptorKTM · 07-15-2006, 02:41 AM

as far as the intake i dont think it will cause an increase, i mean air intakes arnt hp gain items there more for sound and watnot

do you know it reduces by how much?

I thought Dinan is working on intake that increases 40hp?

although I really doubt that

Dude, if this's true, I may not install my Kerscher exhaust. Please post the link to the Dyno on Kerscher exhaust.

NaTuReB0Y · 07-16-2006, 02:00 PM

but it sounds great..........isn't that what you want?

longtran · 07-16-2006, 07:09 PM

ummm...the kerscher exhaust did not lose hp. these people do not know what they are talking about. i can not say anymore, because i RESPECT that person's descretion not to post the results.

canucklion · 07-16-2006, 07:14 PM

wow, you think an intake will increase hp by 40?

I gained HP by sticking a bananna in one tailpipe. Made a great exhaust note too

canucklion · 07-16-2006, 07:19 PM

hey, I wouldn't be surprise if you sold that idea to some dumb mofo, there are way too many gullible people in the world, ripe for conmen's picking

if you want additional power from your exhaust system, visit KAS motorsports.

Unless we have baseline and post-mod dyno test runs under similar conditions, no one can make any claims about losses or gains. No two cars are exactly alike, even right off the assembly line.

ksfrogman · 07-16-2006, 11:22 PM

socalm3, whatever happened to that supercharger install you talked about?

RaptorKTM · 07-17-2006, 01:27 AM

he wanted 9 months with my car to protype it and im not going to do that. however im still under the impression that he will be continuing to design one but i can not confirm that

well my understanding was that it did. As far as posting the results, i did not post any but i was unaware that they did not want any information about there test posted.

sungmin · 07-17-2006, 01:35 AM

Yeah get that intake. you WILL definitely get 40hp gains. then proceed to slap yourself so you can wake up.

Thanks a lot, you guys. Long, did you dynoed yours also? BTW, I'm going to install my exhaust anyway. I like the sound. I don't think losing HP, if any, will be noticeable and I don't care anyway. Since I'm not using my car to race or whatever, the sound, the look of the exhaust together with BMW handling and fun to drive are enough reasons for me to go ahead and INSTALL my Kerscher exhaust.
Again, thanks for the good job.
