[s-cars] RE: Stebro

[Postupack, Jeff]

Stebro V Stromung. 
 
Bill, don't believe Paulie.  That Stebro  is not boomy to Paulie 'cause he's half deaf anyway.
 
Plus it hangs so low you'd think it _was_ 'well hung'.
Maybe he likes it that way! 
That system resonates at 2800 rpm like a tympani in Symphony hall.
 
I am clearly biased because well, everybody knows that! Stromung's all I do.
 
The Stromung RSS is, THE best step in exhaust upgrades. That improved free flow downpipe, center and rear muffler are a straight shot from turbo to tail. It's all stainless, including the freakin flanges.
 
We'll have to have a sound off at S Fest qnd let The People decide.  Like those Boom car guys rip subs.

FWIW  -- I am very disappointed with the Stebro exhaust.   It's loud at
idle, and has an annoyingly loud resonance between 2600-3000 RPM.   I played
phone tag with them for a while -- attempting to get them to offer a
solution (such as a different muffler) but I could never get a live person
on the phone.>>>





Hmmmm...  2,600-3,000 is where on the tach again?  Er, sorry my Stebro
rarely plays that range of 'symphony' so I can't say.

Mine sounds GREAT to me, albeit at significantly 'higher' RPM, day in day
out.  And this is mit wife and 18 mo old (who BTW calls me daddy vroom
vrroom, wonder why?) in the car, she don't complain. 

Rev it up a bit maybe?  8-)

Dare I say it sounds better than the Stromung unit? (been awhile since I've
donned the Flame Suit, let 'er rip).  Yup, I said it, I dared diss the
everloved Stromung.  Buthey, the Stebro sounds much more refined, tuned,
etc.  Yup, there I go, doing it again.  Whoops.

Seriously, it gets better with age (not sure how long you've had it), it
packs down a bit, and sounds better when it heats up.  It is a bit loud at
idle, which I thought would be loud when 'on' it, but behind the car I can
barely hear it in front of me (driving).

Dig mine, but that's caraaaaaaaaaaazy me.  I know what you're saying about
getting them on the phone, but persistence paid off for me and I was always
able to get someone, just a matter of effort (annoying, but heh)...

Sean , mine smells like that too @ 128k, chronic Mobil 93 was the biggest
contributor.  Sunoco is less odoriferous, but the 1+ programming likely has
some to do w/ it is my guess.  Who cares really...  other than da wife who's
forbade me from backing into the garage ever again?
