Default Borla exhuast x-pipe with s-type


Sorry for the filter its the only one I had on the computer

Paid a visit to Ryan's performance in Lake Charles where they installed a Borla S-type system along with an X pipe. Then I got a custom dyno session for baseline and to maximize the additional airflow. I don't have the dyno report with me but we experienced ~40 peak with an average of 35 gain 2-4.5k. I have to say I didn't expect much of a difference from a mild tune and secondary cat removal but I was impressed once I was on the road. Car feels noticeably more responsive at lower rpms, we stayed in "safe" zones with AFR in upper rpm limits. I would highly recommend these guys if you want a dyno tune that focuses on what the owner's wants for that specific car and using there decades of experience in the car industry's factory and performance areas gave me a very good impression of how a shop should operate. I didn't want to get too crazy with this car because of I want this car to be multi-purpose so engine hp isn't a high priority on the list of future modifications. My goal is to have a car that track 4-5 times a year and still be able to drive locally.

My car is a 18 Z06 M7 without any mods

I have a clip of a rolling start up to 4th on youtube:
