well its hard for me to believe its not the problem when i noticed the lack of power on the drive home from the trade..... it was not a mistake in the tune. it had somethin to do with the swap. theres absolutely no way the exhaust could NOT be more restrictive than the one i had before. or else there wouldnt be a problem here.
Did you reset your ecu?

You basically traded mufflers. If the guy honestly thinks this caused misfires, he is an absolute moron. Anyone he complains to about the transaction will tell him the very same thing.
And trading back isn't going to change a damn thing on his car other than the noise volume.

anyone still have that Shenanigans smiley sitting around?
Some more fuel for the fire: I was told the previous owner of the Blitz Nur Spec (subydood03) didn't use gaskets and was smacking his exhaust around when trying to get it off, because apparently, when he put the exhaust on it was torqued down tot he max - so that there would be no leak without a gasket.

i also call shenanigans.... call Ed and he'll definitely let you know...
If you can't go to Paul @ DB for free or call Ed and this all doesn't make sense... I call Shenanigans.
I don't think anyone's saying that your car isn't having issues. It's just that no one believes trading nearly identical axle backs is going to do it... It's something else for sure OR you are THE ONE AND ONLY PERSON to ever have such an issue

ok first off i dont want to get pistol whipped.... and the gasket thing wasnt me....i didnt install my exhaust i bought the car with it already on there. and i wasnt wacking the exhaust around, i was wackin the wrench that was on the nut, cuzzz every one knows that a quick torque helps break loose a stuck nut.
second, yea the drive to paul would be way to far. but the offer is much appreciated
third, im over it, you guys can stop talkin about it now. yea the car had issues, i wasnt blaming any one i just thought it was the trade but i dunno anymore. but its done. sooooo peace.
btw it seems to be running better after resesting the ecu again, still not as powerful, but better.... just wanted to throw that out there

didn't your motor blew due to starvation of oil when you had the motor pulled apart instead of a "tuner's ****ty map"?
i could be wrong :shrugs:
