Title: Ported Elbow (portabello ?)
Post by: Recklessrob on May 05 2005, 11:07:23 PM

I just installed an elbow that I just finished porting. The improvement
is fairly noticeable. No ET's yet, but the butt dyno says its better.
Any of you guys ever try this ? What were your results/opinions ?
 :question;  :rolleyes;  :question;

I want to, but not until I get a respectable downpipe.

My butt dyno thinks that the stock DP and elbow is better than my 3"dp. When I put the 3"DP on my car didnt have the umph it had with the stock stuff. Maybe I upgraded my DP too early. Damn I cant remember, I think I still had the stock turbo.

I have a ported elbow with a big puck and a 3" dp and Ill bet its *almost* as good as a TH style .. at a few hundred $$ less..

I'm eventually going with a Mease pipe, but this was to satisfy
my current need for speed.
