A real quality piece of equipment, as F6 Tornado can confirm. He has a similar system on his car.The system is a single 3.5" pipe from the factory dump pipe, splits into twin 3", running though two offset 3" cats, reduces to twin 2.5" just before the first muffler, then goes over the axle and feeds through a second muffler. I retained the stock look with a spare BF F6 tip APC had.The tractive effort is huge, and the car keeps on pulling and pulling. Lucky it has 6 gears Power figures as per attached dyno sheets. I also attached a sheet showing the various power levels from stock, to boostup, to Exhaust, Bosch 968's, new Walbro fuel pump and APC custom exhaust. Tuning obviously is done by yours truly.I had the last of the parts from the Cobra kit arrive today, and the ASE front mount should be ready to send on Monday. I estimate 350 plus rwkw when the Cobra kit is fitted while still retaining the stock dump pipe Either way, anything over 300rwkw in these auto's is a hoot!

Did you run the car in different gears or did you not calibrate it for Engine rpm with the original pulls ???? Im only asking cos these cars dont make peak power at 4000 rpm and also the lines dont match up at the begining.... Nice figures but, Arent they a hoot with that much power Edited 23/06/06 12:12 PM by Xtreme F6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed is out (reading low) by around 10%.I'll have the dyno calibrated properly for my next runs. As a point of interest, WOT cannot be applied at less than 3000rpm in the A6's to avoid kickdown. Unfortunately on of the SSS features the A6 didn't carry over from the A4's was the ability to select and hold a gear without getting kickdown at full throttle. This makes it harder to start dyno runs in the F6 auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I dont care, the gearbox has lasted this long under boost so I think it's doing the right thing. I'll give it some new oil at the next service to keep it happy. If it breaks I'll get a stock T56 from a wrecker and it'll be all good... did you have anything done to the 6sp in the white thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
