Subaru dealers were saying the same shit with the WRX & their ecu never logged anything. Wouldn't know. But this came from a reliable source.. (within FOMOCO and a friend). I guess we can just wait and see what Performance shops do before we do anything.. and see the problems encountered.

Guest Hydro Guests Posted 09/12/02 12:42 AM Share Posted 09/12/02 12:42 AM XR6T sounds way cool. The standard XR6 has the same exhaust as the XT etc. Having not driven or heard a turbo before I picked mine up from the dealer, the exhaust note was a very very plesent surprise! :D Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/265-modifying-your-xr6t/page/2/#findComment-2648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different engine compression ratios and different mufflers will cause the engine to sound different, especially when the turbo is spinning.

I reckon that bolting on an aftermarket exhaust wouldn't make too much difference because the standard dual exhausts would have to flow better than say a 3inch single.Damn they sounds good don't they.

Guest exr6 Guests Posted 09/12/02 04:21 AM Share Posted 09/12/02 04:21 AM That is true, it does have a dual exhaust through to the tailpipe, that is why it has the centre peice, where they both come in. The outlet at the turbo is 3". I think that this car would benefit from free flowing mufflers. that may be all that's needed. But I won't be doing it if I void my warrantee!

I mean it would make sense, but I haven't heard what the turbo's sound like.I should have a fair idea come Friday, which is when I pick up mine... Turbo of course!

Guest MrSparkle Guests Posted 09/12/02 10:18 AM Share Posted 09/12/02 10:18 AM Yep any kind of mods that lead to an increase in boost will be cut short by the PCM. It monitors boost levels, and seeing any rise in boost, it will instantly retard the timing, and if severe enough, to near total shutdown! Just a simple *cough* matter of reprogramming the EEC-VII PCM to not do this!
