looking good man. look like a nice pair.

on the heat wrapping thing, I'd recommend it. My feet always got real warm after lik 20-30mins driving. (depending how I drove

)
so I'd have to take my shoes off! in summer at least I did.

But then again, I have amk1 , the 3 may have better thingy majiggy stuff. So it mightn't get so warm, who knoes??

Nice use of technical wording there

surprisingly enough I understand completely what you mean.

I went back there to annoy them again...

It'll be done late today, but probably tomorrow!!! YAY!!

Only a little bit has been done, but he's cut and shortened the stock cat, and still needs to put the 02 sensor in, and the middle muffler...

I can see the end of the tunnel now!

WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!

It's all complete, they're just about to test it for noise in a couple of hours!!!

HAHAHAHA!!!

It has 2 "sports" (insert wank factor) mufflers and a hotdog...so it should be VERY quiet!!!

So, all the noise outta the beast will be induction!!!!

BRAP BRAP BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!

I've been home for 10mins now, and I still have the shakes!!

I'm sooo pumped!!!

It just passed the noise test. Legal limit in vic is 90db, and it was 85db at 4.5k rpm on throttle, and 90db on back off...

So, the exhaust is a lot quieter than the original 102db, but the induction noise is still there!!! GO BMC CDA!!!

On the plus side, the car is no longer running rich! Probably due to the lack of leaks and the repositioning of the o2 sensor!

Unfortunately the car has to sit around until I pass the EPA emissions test, but driving there will be great fun!!
