Zex nitrous and Bassani X-pipe initial observations

Hammer · 05-02-2000, 09:15 PM

Well, I finally got to "play" around with the car a bit today....

The X-pipe with cats sound great with the Dyno-Max cat backs.... Very little drone.
It sounds very aggressive, yet not as loud as a flowmaster cat-back setup.
I did notice a small decrease in low end torque after the conversion, on the flip side I also started to feel a decent power increase in the higher revs. We'll have to get this thing to the track for just what kind of numbers we're talking here.

The Zex system is also in and functional, and all I can say is that I LOVE this little gadget.

The setup is very easy to maintain and operate, with the switch in the cockpit, you can crack the bottle if there's any chance of meeting up with some pesky racers, and flip the arming switch as you line em up. Since it automatically initiates at WOT, you can concentrate on driving, not messing with the N2O button...

WARNING! At a max of a 75 shot, this is not for heavy duty racers, but if you're a daily driver who would like to get a helping hand in those "tight" situations, this might just be the ticket. While not a "pin you to the seat" acceleration, you can definately tell the pull when the nitrous is added at WOT.

Once again, I'll need to get to the track for some hard numbers.....

All in all, I think I'm really going to like these mods...
