I'm pretty sure all your problems can be solved by learning how clutches work.

6-puck clutch on a VE? What are you thinking?

How are you managing to slip that thing?

And it's only slipping now that you're making less power?


I don't even know where to begin. At least you were clever enough to find this thread.

You need a new clutch. Those XTD clutches are trash. Get yourself a ACT pressure plate and B15 disc.

this thread is about 3" exhaust setups.

your contribution is confusing and a lot of it is off topic.

If you want to gripe about your broken car theres off topic general or members rides section for that.

You gain so much whp/wtq that your clutch slipping. How can you blame that it does not gain when your clutch broken.....

The man speaks mathematical truth.

I am actually working on my senior project where I have built an adjustable exhaust primary length as well as will be swapping out a few different style collectors and doing extensive testing on an engine dyno. In addition I will be testing how length of pipe after the divergent section of the collector affects power. I will let those interested know what I find in the next few weeks.

On another note, I have had a ws2 for a good while now, I don't find it incredibly loud but I can put up with allot.

Anyone have a video of this HKS muffler on the ve?
