Of course a car with no mufflers, ext gates not plumbed etc etc will do it.

Road cars, with a level of noise legality surrounding noise, ride height and so on, simply not going to happen

You've got more issues with a 4" exhaust and ride height, then a 3"... And I was talking, perfectly legal road going cars. Not those running screamer pipes or anything.

Also, not every 400RWKW car runs turbos or forced induction either.

But I have seen FI cars, run with 400RWKW and 3"

anyone with there car sitting stupidly low worry about exhaust height obviously hasnt taken much notice to there suspension except for it sits hektically low

with my twin 3" into single 4" i had on my silvia at the lowest point as it passed under the diff i had 110-115mm clearance from the pipe to the ground.. and no the car didnt sit like a 4wd

My reference to ride height, was in response to mr Nismo.

And I'd be saying your car was one of the nearly stupidly low cars if you only had 110 - 115mm of ride height. Seeing how the legal limit, when completely empty, is 120mm, and when maximum loaded, is 100mm... You had a max of 15mm before you were below legal limit... Something I'd call low.

I was simply pointing out, if you read the post I quoted, that a 4" gave more ride height issues then a 3"... Whereas, mr Nismo wasn't trying to state ride height issues with the person running a 3"...

wat you didnt read was were i said the lowest point of my exhaust was 110-115mm clearance and that was right were it went under the diff.. car never had any scraping issues and was far from "stupidly low"

the car even made it up my driveway which was almost impossible for any car that wasnt factory height

the limit is 100mm regardless, ive been pulled over and spoken to by police many times ( mine is 102mm) theres no rule for 120mm empty... i wouldnt call it stupidly low, never been held back by a single speedhump yet, just need to know how to take it and go slow,

i got a 4" turboback exhaust as well

my mums stock bmw is 115mm from its lowest point, wouldnt really call that level stupidly low these days

    • How's your first born doing? 😛 As for now what? Time to forget about it for 12 to 18 months while your go down a totally unrelated rabbit hole... 😛
    • Fuse taps are perfectly fine to use, especially when you're adding stuff for your own car, and so long as you're being smart about it. IE, don't throw a 30amp circuit, onto a circuit that is only a small circuit. It's best to add a small circuit, to one that is already quite large. Oh, and make sure you're not going to blow the fuses that are further upstream too! I dislike their use in other applications, such as alarms, telematics/tracking devices etc, as it's far too easy for someone to unplug them and render a system useless. Those sorts of devices I go for wiring in quite secretively.
    • Fob is all cleaned up and it’s working well!! The amount of Vegemite looking sh*t that was in there is mind blowing 
    • Given it is temporary, I bought a  cheapy gauge mount (which has become enflattened) which I will screw into the existing phone mount Also a first for me; given this is a temporary install I could not think of any reason not to use one of those "add a fuse" thingies to source the battery and IGN power. I had always figured they were pretty dodgy but having a good look at them I think they are a valid option for sourcing power from an existing source without cutting 
    • Finally for now, a bit more work on the transmission temp gauge. I was wondering how Raceworks do a gauge for $100 that autometer want $500 for. No idea about the accuracy of course, but they have cut a few corners that made things hard.  First one I mentioned above, the sender is physically difficult to fit and doesn't work with their own adapters (the extra fittings I used to get the sender into a hose cost more than the whole gauge, lucky I had stuff in the shed) Second, the temp sender wires are way too short. They are shown as 2.7m on the box and I know my routing was long from navigator headlight to driver's firewall back to centre console, but I had to lengthen them by about 2m total - 2 joins in each wire. Also, same with the supplied power loom, they needed about an extra 1m to get the fuse box where I sourced power. Another join in each wire since one end wasn't supplied terminated. I know they could argue that the wires might be long enough depending on situation, but when you consider parts and particularly labour, it would be a very expensive cheap gauge if you can't do the work yourself. And, only a small issue....but it would have been nice if they remembered to tap a tread onto *both* spacers they supplied for the bracket....I haven't had to use the M4 tap often!
