Little Input Needed Re: Power
Hey guys,
So my car has had an OE tune. The tune was set up to have an xpipe in place of secondary cats.
I then removed the xpipe the same time I took the car in for service. I replaced with straight pipes. It felt noticably slower but not sure if it was all in my head. Some cars I pull up against, I feel slow, others I feel quicker. Could be the tune reset the ECU. Could be in my head. Could be the tune really got screwed replacing X with straight pipes.
I was riding alongside the 2012 R/T Charger the other day. maybe modded, maybe not. I didn't pull ahead as much as I'd like ( at arounf 140km/h). Then I pulled alongside the 5.0 GT V8 at the lights the other day which pulls 0-60 constantly in 4.8 seconds and I raped it from a start.
I am not sure what to think but my car seems slower than before. Could it be that I've lost power since removing the X pipe and replacing with straight pipes? Do I need a new tune to reflect the straight pipes replacing the x pipes?
I notice before if I revved the car in neutral that I'd never go above 4000 revs but now I passed the 4000 rev mark if in neutral since fitting the striaght pipes. I just want a quick monster.
Please help.
Oh and I got new rims yesterday.

Uptop in the high rpms it shouldn't be a huge difference
