Re: Mandrel bent 2.5" exhaust, extractors= power loss 4 me!
hey i got a new rear muffler, its 3" at each end and also 3" inside. the guy that installed it used the original mounting points, and used 3" piping and theres a dual tip on the end which looks Exactly like bennoz's. *(see page 1 of this post)
power is definatly up from the other rear muffler with the supposed fallen in baffell. still dosent seem much more powerfull if any... still takes just under 9 seconds to 100kmph.... is there a way to remap the stock ecu? could i acheive more power or at least better tourque curves (pretty much any performance gain at all) from a piggyback ecu? if so what 1 is good?

how much difference would this make to my car performancewise? with a custom CAI, good brand pod filter, 2.5-3" mandrel bent exhaust system, iridium plugs, synthetic oil
i understand im looking at about 600 to get it installed going by other posts but is there anywhere in melbourne that can be recomended to me?

Piggyback anit gonna fix this sh*t collector pipe...
Fix your existing issue before worrying about piggybacks, otherwise you'll waste a grand for no result.

how much do u think this would all cost me bennox? and u'd just adjust it fromj the end of the extractors to just before the flex join? is their enough room to keep the flex join because i think ill need it
