id love a set of tips to come out the back but ive seent his done before and the vehicle had black soot all over the rear bumper and tailgate after a couple of weeks abuse. mine doesn't seem to smoke at all and have had others follow me and say theres hardly anything even on full throttle so I may take a look at doing this. any ideas where to get some tasty oval pipes here in the uk? I can get some pipe and weld them on too as I have access to my works workshop

I saw that on this forum. I believe it was a test car for Eibach or something?

My setup is keeping the intake temp entering the turbo at ambient temps.

Took car for a decent drive and came back, grabbed the airbox and it is the coolest thing in the engine bay.

Not sure if it will make any differences, but it definitely does what it's supposed to.

I did the same years ago on my 1970 firebird (currently under restoration) - no mufflers, just dual resonator tips on a 2-1/2" system and was amazed at how loud it "wasn't" during normal driving. But at full throttle with an 850 CFM Quadrajet, you definitely knew it was missing some baffles!

Soon! I ordered the bilstein b12 kit from Germany. It has taken nearly 2 months to arrive......still not here but hopefully in the next week or so. It's about 40mm lower than standard.
