Downpipe done !

[Timbo]

Good work Mitch...and a great price, too!

I never noticed mine on the road all that much, but the next dyno run I had boggled my mind! Let us know if you get yours on a dyno.

You'll now have something like 135+Kw ATW, which is close to the limit the KO3s can pump air for...and more than you have traction for, anyway ...all from two mods which in total cost around $2K (flash + pipe)

Sounds like a good mod... I can't find an exhaust place in Brisbane that will match that price thou unfortunatly...

Funkdancer - Please go easy on the moderation... if someone wants to remove their cat converter then thats their choice and they run the risk of a big fine as a concequence. I used to run a hollowed out cat on a previous car and to tell you the truth not much of a gain is to be had at all... There are many illegal mods out there if you look hard enough (e.g. gearknob with no H-Pattern)

I think he actually underquoted me a bit on the work. So thats why i gave him a cash in hand tip. Felt bad. Plus he did a bloody good job

Alot of people dont know that cat converter removal is highly illegal and incurs a massive fine. Soo its important that people know hence mods edit and delete.

Unfortunately they delete other vitally important information that we share amongst eachother, such as what car we raced from the lights last night and how much we beat them by ! n:

Also, i wonder how the Pogo would cope with not having a cat..? surely the dash would light up like a christmas tree with warning lights.

Hmmm ... thinking ... thinking ... Newcastle isn't THAT far away from Bris.

Clearly illegal car mods are in the same boat as boasting about street racing as far as I'm concerned.

Plus I care about the environment. So sue me.

[mitch_gti]

Funkdancer, Its hard to express sarcasm over the internet.

I was being just that with the comment about Traffic light GP. Relax

Agreed with the environment too

[Funkdancer]

Mitch, my response was more in reply to Spec and I probably should have made that clearer - I understood that your jest was just that.

To elaborate: Whilst we got very clear guidelines about discussions of on road behaviour, the mod bit is a bit muddier. Anything that is clearly on the side of wrong, i.e. tone as well as content will however have to be considered a fair target for moderation regardless. This is the reason why I accepted the reported post I received as being indeed a valid complaint and thus deleted the post in question.

I.e. if you want to praise the value of wrong mods, do it elsewhere. Informing someone that something they might do is something they really should think twice about and maybe providing "good" alternatives is however a different thing.

Guys I see your point in regards to environment - I still think it was unjustified as I am sure some of us have a non-ADR emmissions compliant ECM chips installed

Dave - I am with you.. a road trip to Newcastle is not THAT far

[Funkdancer]

Those ECM chips tend to get _better_ fuel efficiency for the same style of driving actually. This would have to improve emissions if anything.

[DaveMack]

In my experience ... the chips DO improve fuel efficiency. Highway cruising, even on hot days with the aircon on, my fuel consumption drops to approx. 7.0litres/100kms or slightly under.
