I well ported internal gate can in some instances work better. I.e the older ETM 38mm external setups used a press bent screamer pipe so effectively the gate size is less than 38mm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deal fell through on the setup I was looking at anyways.one last question. If I were to grab a gtx, can I wait untill a little further down the track to purchase the surge tank or is it highly reccomended to run one?

But paying for two tunes seems silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
