DarrenDriven's Asphalt FR-S (sold 1/17/15. Portland OR)

[xxscaxx]

@DarrenDriven - just joined the Innovate crew myself

Are your worried about it being too loud with the 3" exhaust?

I have an order in for the JDL UEL header. I'm hoping that the nice bump in torque from the header in our stock torque dip can transfer over as well onto the S/C...imagine a big bump in torque (moreso than already with the Innovate)

[NickFRS]

I have RevWorks uel header, Nameless 2.5 downpipe (getting a 3in once I get the SC), Nameless prototype 3in to dual 2in catback exhaust, and Perrin drop in filter w/silicone tube.

I will be selling my Perrin Drop in filter + silicon tube once the kit arrives and will be getting a AEM intake to match up with the SC.... Can't wait... Well + the 3in DP.

It will be interesting to see once I get the same kit what my 2.5 inch exhaust system will do compared to your guys 3 inch. I'm guessing not much of anything since it's not a turbo and we aren't boosting it much with these kits.

[DarrenDriven]

Perrin's overpipe is only 2.5" anyway and they say there is no room to make it larger... so it looks like my exhaust will be jumping around from 2.5" to 3" a couple times haha.

[Tromatic]

I'm making another assumption that an aftermarket SC voids the warranty, correct?

[DarrenDriven]

Voids the ENGINE warranty -- not the entire car warranty.

I'm going to be running an AEM intake, Rev Works UEL headers, PERRIN 3" front pipe, PERRIN 2.5" over pipe and PERRIN 3" exhaust.

[Tromatic]

Would this be a waste on an otherwise stock car? What would be the minimum you would need to do to get max bennies from the Innovative? My goal is to keep it looking and sounding as stock as possible. I'm a bit of a gearhead, but there are way to many abbreviations and acronyms being tossed around for me to follow! A list of the minimum mods needed for adding the SC would be cool.

[DarrenDriven]

I honestly don't think you NEED any other mods if you want to retain the stock setup with the S/C. The ECU needs to be tuned after installing the S/C, and any mod you add after the tune will necessitate a retune... which could be a hassle if you decide you want to add intake, etc, afterwards.

[Tromatic]

Thanks. Please let me (us) know when you start the surgery. I'd like to watch.

[DarrenDriven]

I will.

[ftc~brz]

subbed! I'm about to bite the bullet on this kit....need to talk to my husband about it first of corse but what man would say no to moar power?

I just did my last n/a dyno today and will post the graphs when I get them via email but it looks like we want the same things out of our cars. (I went borla uels....no issues here)

I look forward to seeing what comes of your build and congrats!

Hey Darren i'm not 100% sure the AEM intake will work with the kit yet. I was going to have David test fit the intake to it once it comes.


Oh yea it might be time for you to look into wider tires

Nah, this is my 3rd car that I don't drive often. It can be loud. Screw the neighbors, haha!

I'm buying the AEM used from Jayson in Vancouver... if it won't work then I will sell it.

Why would I get wider tires? The whole point of the SC is to get enough power to burn through those dozen tires in my garage! Hehe....
