Hey D. Wiggs...

exhaust looks good!

pic of 09 OEM 560 monster exhaust...cant believe it only weighs 65lbs., feels and looks heavier

I know!

Finally getting around to uploading some dyno videos. The final numbers are as follows:

 

CTD Cat-Back Exhaust - 46 pounds lighter (18lbs. vs 64lbs.) and picked up 23AWHP.

 

Car (2009 LP560) made 505AWHP (averaged between 507 and 503) on SUMMER Pump 93.

 

What was truly amazing is that the CCBs on the car are good for 20-25AWHP. My 570 on SUMMER Pump 93 only made 469 because it has the steel brakes.

 

Dyno video and write-up to follow in a thread soon. When our header-back exhaust, intakes, and tune package are applied, 550+AWHP will be achievable with simple modifications.

I don't quite understand what you're saying. Are you saying CCBs increase HP?

wheel horsepower, yes. SUBSTANTIALLY.

What is the weight difference of the rotors?

What is the weight difference of the rotors?

From what has been written about them (we will remove rotors and verify), all 4 CCBs weigh less than 1 steel rotor. They are ridiculously light.

That could be a plausible explanation of the fact that some Gallardo's are running stronger than others, interesting.

Yes, and wheel weight. Are they stock rims and, if so, which ones or are they aftermarket and, if so, which ones.

Stock wheels only and the lightest available

 

I must admit I did not feel any difference between a car with CCB and one without and since CCB's here cost as much as a small house, steel it is

LOL!

Like I said... Im always right

D. Wiggs, I think people would give you more credibility and take you more seriously if you wouldn't speak before you have factual information. It can be annoying to see someone argue from an ignorant standpoint (ignorant-(adj) lacking knowledge or information). I'm not saying you yourself are ignorant as obviously you've proven yourself very successful. But it's painful to read something when we know you are honestly ignorant to the facts. Do us all a favor and know the facts and maybe listen to people who know better (fabspeed in this instance).

 

With that said, I love the sound of the exhaust and hope you sell a lot of systems!

 

That's all:)

Thought I'd throw in this video too with Wiggs interview to boot. I have to say, the car sounds awesome! Better yet, a VERY happy owner!

This is not correct. The CCBs are much lighter but not like that. You also have to consider the caliper and pad weights are heavier on the CCBs but the rotational weight is really what important.

 

 

I went lighter rotors and light wheels as converting to CCBs was not reasonable at the time.

The thing about NASA Tuning Division statistics, is that they're wrong 83.4% of the time.

I like D.Wiggs I'm just a silly tech guy that likes to use the most accurate number as possibly.

DAMN D.Wiggs is big! I now get the huge bed, huge trucks, the big dogs etc.

 

D.Wiggs how did you deal with the KW canisters on the LP, do you mind sharing where and how you've installed them? TIA

 

The white LP looks and sounds very good, the only thing I would do different is the wheel color, IMO it would look very good with a bronze finish.

 

Well done.

Apparently! Like I said, that's just what I had heard. As per Lambofan35, apparently it's just over half the weight.

Just for you buddy...

 

 

And thanks, Bronze might look pretty cool!

I was dead on at 18 pounds.

 

 

Putting the video together now.

Why the use of an x pipe design?
