Our Dyno testing Started today, Exhaust, Stock-Evil Twin- CES Twin center tip!!

Our Dyno testing Started today, Exhaust, Stock-Evil Twin- CES Twin center tip!!

It is late in the day and will continue in the morning on the testing.

First let me start off by saying that we are having to run the car right from an idle up through 4th gear full throttle and are only able to capture 1st gear in the low RPMs the rest when it shifts at about 4300 rpm and up. We tried to run the car in manual mod and lock it in 4th at lets say 3000 rpm but when we hit it it down shifted to 2nd. I dont know how they are able to capture a 4th gear pull from 2500rpm with out it downshifting.

So far we ran the car with our CES Performance twin tip center stainless Steel exhaust and got between 69 and 70 rwhp. We then put the stock one back on and ran about 7 times with a max of 65.3 rwhp. When we put the graph up you will see a good pull all the way through the gears shifting. This system has no drone but a nice deep smooth sound. In the morning we will continue our testing by re dyno on the stock system then changing to the CES Performance Exhaust and then the evil twin system. On Thursday we will have another version of our CES Performance Exhaust, Sport or touring version. By the end of this week we will have the video up, sound clip and dyno graph. The CES Performance exhaust will be ready to ship in 7 days. I will have pricing and pics by Wed. It is a all stainless steel system with twin angle cut vented double wall stainless steel tips coming out of the center of your valance.

I will post more in the morning.

Ernie

We are producing the Sport right now and the touring 2 days latter after I dyno test it Thursday. We will be able to ship both systems by Tuesday. the first systems will be 399.00. No more waiting it is here, first batch ready to ship on Tuesday.


We do have the Video up on our YouTube page showing the testing. By the way we did all the testing with the lower valance off ( Not to Pretty), it was easier to work with. I will have pics soon showing the system with the Valance on and also a drive by clip.

The touring will have a little lower sound level. I will be testing the touring in the morning and will have the vids and sound on our YouTube page ASAP. Did you hear it on our YouTube page yet?

Just got off the phone with Ernie from Breathless Performance and ordered the sport exhaust system for possible delivery within the next two weeks. Very excited to see a performance shop dedicated to developing perfomance parts for the smart enthusiasts here in the US. He is about to post the video of the drive by on u tube for us to see. He was pretty excited about the test drive from earlier this AM and he explained some of the technical reasoning as to why he is so excited about his new exhaust. It got me fired up and now I can't wait.
