I did. Coupled with a cat back they gave me a solid 10-15kws more. Good product, but wasn't really 'finished' to my standards. Spent a day with a straight grinder smoothing welds out of the joins

Also not really worth doing unless you've got a tuneable ECU / piggyback. Wont get the most out of it.

so 70mm is not worth doing, while 65mm would be beneficial?

i guess i have found the problem. i found my sensor draggin on the floor. it has diconnected from the cat converter apparently. is it safe to travel with the sensor disconnected? atleast driving it to the garage?

Which events? I do them sometimes as well. Theres Nolimitevents.com which does a time attack around barbagello and theres AHG state sprint and auto test championships.. and i'm sure theres some others.. but i dont keep up with them. I'm doing the state sprint championship this year.. the first round is this month. Theres also antoher wa owner who does them as well his name is Richard H he does both autotest and state sprint. They're good fun if you can afford it.
