    When you can get the stuff off another job would be great - the track season is pretty much finished for the year.

    There are a few guys down here who are interested so we'll try to come up with a number for you

    Yesterday i recieved my package from great Britain, opened it up to be introduced by, by far a much bigger pipe=)
    put in on last night, (even in the sydney rain)


    The size difference i saw on a fellow dubbers polo was huge but i didn't really realise until i put them next to each other,
    its quite a huge difference


    When i took the old one off, i saw the rock deflector everyone was talking about, i cut that off best i could with the tools i had at my girlfriends house, ( rusty stanley blade ) ha. ill have another go and do some clean ups tonight!
    ill try and get it super smooth!


    then put it all back together, squashed a finger or two, and it was in=)



    the only thing i didnt get to do was, there is a gap diffence between the rock deflector piece, at the bottom!
    did people just tape this closed?? what have some people done=)

    I just did a straight swap with my pd160, I never read anyone's tutorial so didn't bother cutting the rock deflector thing out. I can't see it making any difference whatsoever. Apparently the pd160 is meant to be a bit of a placebo anyway haha!

    I didn't bother cutting that piece out either, but am confident of the improvement over standard on a tuned car. The transition coming on to boost is smoother and pickup is smoother/marginally more responsive too (on my set up anyway). On factory tune, I'd likely agree with you.

    As for improvement by cutting that flap out, I'd say F'all would be noticed, but will maintain my ignorance until proven wrong

    yeah im not confident on it, but in the end i guess i was just looking at it as if it could be a restriction then it can go!
