Hole in my xpipe
Hey guys,
Recently, I've been noticing more and more lag at WOT, now mirroring a big turbo supra with the power kicking in around 3.5k. Months ago, one of my mechanics had pointed out that I have a corroding xpipe but at the time I hadn't given it much thought. Is that even a common thing among our cars? I don't think I've ever come across a thread about it. Now that my spool is becoming nearly non existent below 3K, even with brake boost, I was curious if this is possibly the culprit? I also checked my vacuum lines and one seems like it's fraying a bit at the end but nothing that I can imagine would cause that amount of lag. If you guys have any input I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Here's a pic:

Unless its corroded internally and creating resistance to the exhaust flow (not likely) then this wouldnt make any sense. Check vacuum lines, boost solenoids, wastegate rattle, ect
