I'd rather input and get a product I'm 100% happy with, than say nothing and only be 90% happy. Please keep us updated through this thread. -

Windsor exhaust also made mine, not custom mufflers, but still very happy with the work.Well priced too. They make car-truck exhausts, so 4" isn't that big for them. -

i can't remember having it tested, but fairly quiet.Just prior to this, had a stainless twin 3 with catch ceramic cats in single 4. Very noisy. Approx test level of 105db. The cat in currently using is a 5" metal cat, don't know brand sorry. I will try and get a pic of the mufflers today. They are branded, just can't remember what brand. And I'd estimate test would show approx 98-100db. I love that you can still just hear the wastegate open. Just.... -

this except the screamer(i dont like gate).My 4" is fairly quiet. Have had cops cruise behind me and keep moving. It's not legal(i think it would be close ish.) And i have mild steel, apparently quieter than stainless(was told by exhaust shop). -
Yeah, I had a shitbox when I was in school. And after school. Didn't have any of this apprenticeship in school either. I had to go full time school to full time job.

Trolley Jack Lift Pad

I have also thought about a product like this, but I'm lazy and never done anything about it. Some suggestions if i may? Make the grove shallower, if it's not deep enough, no harm done as you're still lifting from where it's meant to be. If it's too deep, it will lift from the body where the vehicle is weaker. Make the locater round, but make the lift/pad longer. Same weight over bigger area is less lb/in2. I find that's the biggest issue. If you spread the weight out, it really helps the sills. Hopefully make them chemical resistant. Use around oils and fuels, this would nearly be a necessity. And last, don't sell too cheap. I'd pay 20-25 bucks. Take the extra money, and put into more products. If you dont like my ideas, then maybe I'll have to release one Either way, I wish you luck and hope to see these for sale soon -

always will drive better.The 30(or 32 in your case) provides the bottom end so desperately needed for daily driving. It really does transform the car. -

older engines are fine.But, the emissions gear must be that of the car or engine, whichever is newer. Eg, old v8 into new commodore, has to have Commodores emissions gear. Ls1 into hq, has to have emissions gear from the car Ls1 came from. Including the restrictor for unleaded petrol in the tank filler neck. That was the rule a couple of years ago. Don't know if still current. -

They sit very close(pretty much touch)the ac hose. Be sure to heat wrap it so no damage occurs. -

I dropped the subframe as i didnt want to cut anything. I can put my entire career back to original (minus paint) if i wanted. I have a 6 boost, large frame manifold, with the turbo(gt42) I chose, I'm glad I lowered the subframe. Is for sale *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* -

luke gtr replied to Blackkers's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Get a manifold to suit the 30 bottom end, keep the turbo away from the bonnet. Also, spacing the subframe isn't as bad as alot of people think. Drop down to a 0.8mm head gasket to lift comp? The 26 sump has windage trays above the oil pick up. If you can get the crank ones on, bonus. Just so you know, once you go a 30, you won't go back. Good luck. -
