What u cant see from those pics, is the size of the collecter, each primary
is 28.5 in long going into a collecter of 1.77 liters, then into equal length
secondaries 14in long by 3in od then into one 3in system, i will put up a
better pic so u can see it better. and at the moment it seems to be working
realy well.

I agree, i didnt want the filters sticking out of the bonnet either, but the engine is mounted as low as it could go i am getting a bonnet made
so that you wont see the filters sticking out the top.

It doesnt sound bad, but it would sound better with a flowmaster box on
instead of the mongoose one, but alas then it would be to noisy for trackdays maybe when funds allow ill have a system for the road and
one for the track
