Exhaust fitted.... Undecided on improvements
« on: Aug 26, 2009, 08:53PM »
Well after much trolling through the forums, and reading various peoples opinions i decided to get myself a set of tuned extractors and a full 2.25 inch sports system. I have a removable cat with a straight piece for easy changeover should the occasion arise..lol
Anyways.... Im undecided with the results. Yeah sounds better. yeah is a little punchier, but could my money have been better spent on a chip and cam?
hmmm???
<-----Run's off to Garage11 to order a R4 cam and stage 3 chip.

how much of a power boost did you expect?

exhausts don't do much on their own. you'd be lucky to get 5kw..

What extractors are they?

You would not see the benefits of cam/ecu to the full extent if you had a stock exhaust, step 1 is to always make sure the engine can breathe easier.

Any pics of their extractors? Sounds like they custom made them for you?

usually the first step is extrax & exhaust, then chip, then cam

so don't worry, your all good so far
NO! it's NOT a fucking SR20!!
