what would happen if i install an SF turbo kit on m car, with out an exhaust (the car venting from the downpipe), since Mexican Spec cars don't have the second 02 sensor there would be no check engine light, but would the heat afect anything underneath the car??

it would be loud as ****!! and it will smell, make lots of pollutants and maybe melt/burn some of the underside of your car.

I wouldnt suggest it, exhaust will get in the car and smell and it wont be good for you either. My friend has a truck with the exhaust cut off right under the cab and when your in traffic with that thing you almost pass out from the fumes.

I'll answer in spanish too!!! Sorry for those of you that can't understand!! (translation at the bottom)

Si. OsOBooSTeD esta corecto. En realidad no necesitas el systema completo. Claro, va a sonar un poco mas alto que el sonido del systema "exhaust" de factoria, pero en realidad, es mejor correr sin un systema completo y nada mas con el "downpipe" abierto. Dependiendo en donde el "downpipe" esta, no deberias tener problema con mucho calor, ni deritiendo nada abajo del carro.

Hay una compañia que ofrece un producto electronico que puedes usar si te molesta mucho el sonido de un "downpipe" abierto y no quieres manejar el carro asi todo el tiempo. www.quicktimeperformance.com/qtec.html. Si esa direccion no trabaja solamente vaya a www.quicktimeperformance.com y selecciona el producto que le llaman el "qtec". Lo que ace es que connecta un pedaso de "exhaust" parecida a una "y" (i griega). Por un lado es el systema largo y en la otro lado es la parte que te deja correr con el downpipe abierto. Esta parte, a base de un switch, se puede abrir or cerrar. Cuando esta abierto, corres con downpipe abierto (y produces mas poder) y cuando esta cerrado corres el systema largo "exhaust" (siendo factoria or no factoria) y entonces, pues claro, tambien es mas callado que correr con el downpipe abierto.



Yes. Osoboosted is right. In reality you don't need to run a full exhaust system. Of course, w/open downpipe its gonna be a little louder than if you were running a full exhaust. Depending on where the downpipe faces you shouldnt have too many problems w/heat or melting anything.

There is a company that offers an electric product that ou can use if you are bothered by the sound of an open downpipe and you don't want to drive your car like that all the time. www.quicktimeperformance.com/qtec.html. . If that link doesn't work....use the same address and select the product they call "qtec". Its a "y" pipe that connects to your downpipe. On one side is where the exhaust woud be routed normally...and on the other side is the part that will allow you to run open downpipe (this is often called a cutout). On the side that lets you run open downpipe is an electronic piece controlled by a switch that you can open and close. When it's open you can run open downpipe (and make more power) and when it's closed you will run your exhaust (whether factory or not), and of course....it will be quieter than running open down pipe.

so there ya go. hope that helps.

Well plz do run with exhaust everone. The air in my city sucks as it is. San Antonio is nothing but Hummers and Excursions which produce 5 times more carbon monoxide than our ULEV Civics. While I'm on the topic of poisons, you are all aware that tires are always losing tiny pieces of rubber, even when you drive slow. Try to avoid walking around in heavy traffic area aka a side walk downtown because you a breathing in mass amounts of rubber particles. Oh yeah, back on topic cars are fun.

woudnt a turbo be more efficient on exhaust emission is say tou ketp the cat??

 
Rep Power: 0

For emissions.....keeping the cat and full exhaust would be more "emission" friendly. But you can get a cut out (whether electronic or not) and use that when you're at the track or having a night of racing.

not unles you have it before the cat, but either way you could get an 02sim and get rid of it...
