I recently installed a fireball exhaust on my 2000 celica GT. It made my car slower. Does that make any sense? I thought it would give me a few more HP but instead it feels a lot slower than stock. my car is an automatic unfortunately [Mad]

It may just be in your head. I'm not sure how much HP the 5zigen is supposed to add. The only way to tell is to get it dynoed. frown

I got 5Zigen Fireball on my GT (auto) at first when i installed it, it felt that the car was slower, but now after like 4 months with it on it sounds good as hell, and it feels like the car pickes up a bit faster...just give the ECU to adjust to the exhaust, ill be fine
check out the gallery [photos.yahoo.com]

something to think aboot would be reseting ur ecu, just "unplug" the ground to ur battery and leave that way for a couple of min, it may help, when i got my intake it didnt seem to do much till i reset the ecu, so its just an idea, doesnt hurt to do it
