Meetings with MCA monthly

Post by **vipfto** » Thu Jan 28, 2010 10:32 pm

Every last wednesday (may be changing to Friday) MCA have a simple meet and chat night at villies cafe from 7.30pm.

This is a good chance to meet some other club members and just have a chat with other car enthusiasts in general. There are a couple of FTO's and/or owners there sometimes also

Feel free to come along and say hi.

Its not a cruise or photo shoot type event just a catch up to say hi over coffee and a chat

What do you have on yours?

Post by **vipfto** » Sat Jan 30, 2010 7:03 pm

extractors, hi flow cat (sometimes de cat pipe

) 2.5inch mandrel bent with resonator and dytech racing cannon. It really screams at high revs but is nice and growling at lower revs (also its manual and used to sound slightly different when was auto but still awesome) When backing off the power sounds real good too. Kinda have to hear it to know what I mean

Nice! Mines 3" sounds really good at anything over 100 haha but how often do you get to do that? Sounds so spitty and dumb at any other speed so embarasing haha

yeah 3inch piping is too big for N/A cars you lose too much back pressure 2.5 is optimum for power on these cars

would any type of twin set up work out?

yip pretty simple just need 2.5 until you split it can either do it after muffler or before and use two boxes bit of work involved as new bends and mounts need to be made etc but any good exhaust shop should be able to manage it for you oh and I reckon twins look hot, once I change my rear bar gonna go that way too
