Default Another Mod'd Ti Video!

I finally got my car 100% again. Ended up having to swap the o2 sensors and change plug wires. Here's a video today of it. I'll have a whole lot more videos coming!

I have Texas Speed Long tubes, 3" x pipe, no cats and mod'd ti's of course.

Here is mine with the same mods and a cam without the weld-in for comparison. It seems to add a raspy note to it.

Mine was raspy cause it was cold. When it warms up i'm told it will smooth out.

You're in luck. Shoot Robert@Advanceddyno an email or PM. He has a guy that can weld ti and do the bypass mod.

BTW, this robert@advanceddyno isn't the Robert Conrad (rcswish) from black magic racing / game over racing, is it? I've dealt with him in the past (others have as well with mixed results), and would rather not do business with him (long story).
No - it's Robert Mitchell from Advanced Dyno in Suisun City

What size pipe did you use for the bypass, 1.5"? If so why/why not 2"??
