Looking very good there, I'm sure the exhaust can be 'pursuaded' to take a different route.

Thats not ignorance (although some brute force) its just pragmatic engineering rather than precision engineering, often known by its other name of quick and dirty. |

Hi Rod, is that a fletcher exhaust you are using? have you driven the car with it on? It is, not yet driven with it as it's only bought for this project which is not yet complete but I've used it for all the engine testing. IMHO slightly too loud with the N/A engine when I was testing the fuel injection on it but just right with the turbo installed. Similar sound to the Mongoose system I have on my Cossie. It is very well made though, the pressings, tube and especially the welding are the best I've seen. On 26th Apr, 2010 minimad01 said:

Im finding the noise level is perfect until i get some speed up and then i have a very loud noise coming from the rear of the car. At first i thought it was the pipe or the car vibrating, but now i think its just the exhaust coming on song. have you had yours at full throttle whilst testing? |

After a couple of week's pause, I sorted out the fitting of the "flip" front.
