just had to order anothe silencer, as the car sounded like a animal, wish it could of stayed like that, but It kind of defeats the object of the new system, got the rear end sorted and increased rear camber too about 2.8deg.

Thought it might chap. Put the other one in on a V band then you can take it out when db limit allows

if we can get it to around 95db then it can stay permanent,
just could not believe that its gone from side exit with 400mm box to almost full length with 625mm box and its louder, but thats acoustics I guess.

Absolutely love how this has evolved and all of the graft you've put in, been watching it from the beginning

How did you go about making your splitter/undertray and frame work? Just some box section? Looking to make something similar for my adjustable front diffuser and to hang my FMIC from. Going to try and make up my own FMIC and pipe work to save a fair bit of cash.

Keep up the good work!

cheers mate,
we used some uni strut for the hanger on the splitter, just be warned, make a weak point on your build as you dont want to rip off a experience part in the event of a bump.

Been a bit slow on the updates as we are waiting on parts to be finished. But getting there now.
This time of year I'm buzzing to get back on track but looking out the window I'm not sure if I need to start boat racing.

Cores From the States mate, they seem a lot better than the garret cores of late, they seem to be suffering with fin pack faults, so our intercooler guy opted to use this other firm, but I can't remember who it is of the top of my swead.

Intercooler mounted up, we finished the exhaust tunnel, ordered some new Motorsport rod ends for the rear arms, and have got our light weight battery ready to fit.
Getting there now.

Just got to keep the work rate up on the car mate, we have done a lot over the winter, and time these days seems to be in fast forward.
Fingers crossed its ready to roll mid/late may.
Then book up wherever we can get a space.
