What's it for?
If exhaust, then a general exhaust shop.

If intake, then get a silicon piece off ebay for cheap.

This is the qld law for open license. Must be secure and not floating.
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

That the police are so interested in your intake setup, I didn't realise they were so strict.

Oh shite, I will have to be careful then when I finally do get an fto.
What about something like remote mounting the brake reservoir - would they not like this or could I get around it with putting a mod form in (and getting it approved of course)?
