    Wonder if this would cause any issue with the ProClip USA bracket that attaches to the upper left side and then basically holds the upper right corner by pressure as it hooks onto the corner. Just wondering if the additional thickness would be issue?

    It's a stupid argument. It is a fact that it's suboptimal for that crap to be ran back through your intake. I mean LOOK at that roughly 3 ounces of shit you poured out of the can.. Don't want that going back through the engine right? No one would.

    When you do the math the Ferrari 488 torque divided by 3.9 liters to get torque per liter then multiply this against 5.5 liters you get 800 ft/lbs torque GM stated 825 torque this extra 25 pounds could come from differences in psi applied to the turbos and or bigger engine bigger turbo more power production from the turbos types of headers. The Americans have less regulation than Europe another reason more torque so yes it is possible to reduce compression ratio on a flat plane crank HP valve train maybe 7500 to 8200 rpm red line bigger motor max torque by 2500 rpm 488 is 3000 rpm 3.9 liter compared to a 5.5

    @@daphnen5296 i can only speak with respect to the borla drone as ive never sat in a C8 and cruised around with a corsa installed to determine the drone level. That being said Borla has absolutely no drone if your cruising casually in top gear on the highway and the revs are low. Pretty comparable to stock in my honest opinion. Its not until you hit the throttle that it comes alive and your playing into the medium to high revs. Hope that helps

    Hey Carlos, as usual your videos are awesome. I’m about to pull the trigger on an exhaust and I’m torn between the s type and atak… The atak sounds deeper, although online the style is said to be deeper. I can’t tell 100% which is better, or their respective loudness. Any thoughts and advice is appreciated. TIA

  • @NuHorizonC8
    @NuHorizonC818 күн бұрын

    Hey Joe nice! I would say the ATAK is going to be the way to go. The ATAK has a significantly deeper exhaust note and is noteably louder than the S-Type. I've heard the S-type a handful of times and honestly its underwhelming for me but that's because I prefer loud and deep exhaust notes. But it comes down to personal preference and what is most important to you. Hope that helps! Thanks again for the compliment and comment!

    I can honestly tell you that the C6 Corvette was an awesome car to drive but then when the C7 came out, oh my goodness the way it evolved as the last front engine C7 Corvette compared to the previous generation C6 Corvette. We have driven our 2014 C7 Corvette to Texas several times and without a doubt it has such an amazing characteristic in the way it handles around bumpy roads and curves. I recently installed a pair of Michelin pilot sport all season 4 P0 that are even better than the previous generation summer tires from Michelin. Driving 100 mph consistently without having any drama, even reaching speeds of 160 mph continue to inspire confidence, regardless of road conditions. We have a 2021 Challenger RT scat pack widebody shaker with a bigger size Michelin pilot sport all season 4 measuring 315/35/ZR20 non run flat the transform the handling from the OEM Perelli tires that it had. Yet I can tell you that the Corvette handles with more precision than the Challenger. Keep in mind we are talking about the highest equipped challenger with the best suspension set up that Dodge has to offer. It’s their version of mag ride. Even though the 2014, Stingray has the standard Z51 suspension non mag ride. With that being said, I can imagine how amazing the new C8 ZR1 will handle on the road.
