xforce is good value for money, but although it is stainless, it can sound a bit tinny as it is very thin gauge. mild steel is cheaper and is generally regarded to sound better. a 4 inch exhaust will give best performance, but can sound droney. twin 2.5" is a good size to use. the bigger the dump pipe the better.

that's your driveway?

might be a bit hard- it was listed 3 months ago...

spelling police alert....

hell yeah!

cool. whats going on with kermit- you gettin a toon or wot?

Me neither

ive been running 19psi for a while now...

I didnt know id start up such a debate.... dont lose sleep over it as I prol wont have this engine for long anyway....

adelaide hills is killa. ive lived up here for 2 years now.

looking realy good. horn as...

unopenned refers to 'bottom end' dude. even if it had the most modified head/ cams in the country, it would still be unopenned...

nice write up mate!

try habib's fully sik drift skool at redfern...

I may stick to 375ish for street duties. but I think ill get a 400 'one off' just for sh*ts and giggles....

I like em- but I have a soft spot for lighting mods. I have a couple on the go at the moment...

but then I couldnt say: "I blew my bottom end"...

I dropped to 19's- kuhmo ku31's. they are all quiet at first. give it time to feather the tread......

im not claiming to have the first or only unopenned ba with 400rwkw, just saying im gonna give it a go... I saw yours yesterday spoolax. well done nice power... yeah I have the cash, but just wanna give it a go and see how we go... when I bought the car, the owner said that the last owner (his mate) put a bf engine in. I just dismissed it as p*ssin in my ear, but it has me wondering as it is holding together everything we throw at it so far......

achiles is noisy as hell.... I had them on mine for a 6 months and the side wall separated on 3 of em. I wouldnt touch em with a 6ft pole

valve springs are typhoon. I'll give it a good go, if it pops then gives me an excuse to go fg bottom end...

must be waaaaaaaaay back if that's a.I.r.

twin 2.5 is nice for xr6t's. stuff 3" tips- go 4"

boom!

hey guys been slowly increasing mods over the last couple years. nothing unusual- stock- 210rwkw. flash and tune- 252rwkw. cooler (hot side only), injectors (deka 60lb) 'hi flowed' stock cat- 301rwkw. cold side piping, under battery cold intake, 3.5" dump, twin 2.5" cat back exhaust- 320rwkw. P W surge tank and higher boost- 331rwkw. 1/2 98ron/ e85 tune- 351rwkw. now I have installed a jd custom plenum, but decided that before I get the car tuned, id get a big cat converter. its been in the back of my mind being that the 'hi flowed' cat is not the best idea, although the cars farts would not be too bad as ethanol is greener than unlead. after looking around at cat options, I decided on twin 2.5" in/out, 4" body stailess 100cpi cats. should flow saweet. going in next week for tune, and am hoping to edge closer to 400rwkw. if it struggles, then I may think about a full e85 tune. although mid- high 300's will be excellent on the street, with my 275 stickies on the back, 400 would be nice for bragging rights. will prol leave the power there for a while or till in goes bang. thoughts?
