My Car: An update...

[Water Boy]

I like wank factor... Hmmm wank factor factor on my Rat-Look Mk3

Ha ha ha ahahaha ahahah ehe hehe ehehe ehheheheehe e hehehehe

Remember bitches: "Rust is NOT a Crime"

I can notice the difference, with my extractors, defiantly smoother, power increase isn't huge, but the improved low/mid torque is a bit notice able.

Sure, not earth moving, but a subtle change, not bad for $100, I think. They give a nice niose, give the lil 4 pot a bit more balls.

All up, a straight through 2" with hot dog, and straight through muffler, + extractors, for under $450..? Sure it may only be 10 horse on the dyno, but driving, you can feel, and hear the difference. Good value IMO

The most important thing is that you're happy with the results from your investment I must drive around the streets of Hobart like an old granma

I've got Daalder in Box Hill, Melbourne, doing the work for me. It should be alright...

I'm looking forward to getting them. If there's an increase in power, then that's cool. But the main reason for spending this sorta dosh is to clear the EPA emissions test... The current manifold has a crack in it, and every other 16v mani i can find has one as well... Stupid cast manifolds!

And yes, the stainless pic is of a 20v manifold. I simply printed it off for them so they have an idea of what else they could do...

I'll pop down there next week and take some updated photos. Hopefully it won't be installed yet, and i can get some progress pics of them being made on the bench!

Can't wait for pics Sean, and sound clips too please

I went down there today, and they wanna remove the power steering rack to make the extractors...

But anyway, I we've changed our minds, and making a 4-1 system....

No pics yet, will have something on tuesday though.

4-1 = hootttt

[Valver.]

4-1 will go nicely with fairly hot cams and a decent head. Just for the record, my Eurosport exhaust was faulty, and they offered no help so I had to pay to have it fixed (much like BBM); my manifold also leaked at the joint and had to be modified. They were incredibly helpful until I contacted them with problems...

[golf3]

Alrighty, I finally popped down there!

It's looking pretty good so far!
I'm quite impressed with the work!
They still have to press in steel where the 4-1 collector is, and attach a flex, and a flange to mate it to the cat, and then fit in the centre muffler!

So, what you might have been waiting for....

Looks good mate - they are coming along nicely.
