Sound is a lot deeper than I expected. I was sort of hoping for a raspy M3 sort of tone. Quite happy with it and its still nice and quiet with a bit of a bark. No drone :D

Congrats on the new hitechs. Just give them a little time and some carbon buildup. I am very happy with the note I have with mine now. Looks like a good install from the pic.

They probably look ok in the flesh Mano... I reckon the angle of the shot is hurting more than the actual mounted height! :wink:

Nice work with the mufflers, are you going to get the rest of the exhaust done as well?

They can't be tucked up without melting the bumper. They don't actually hang down that much. I think it's the angle of the photo due to being up on the hoist that may appear to some (Mano) that they are dangling.

Hi Jimmy,

No plans on changing anything else on the exhaust. The centre resonator is straight through and I can't justify the cost of extractors.

I'm waiting on the new release of definitions on Romraider so I can start tuning. At present my ecu is not supported but I have downloaded my rom and emailed it off to be included in the next release.

I was worried about this when I fitted mine, so I bought some heat shield adhesive tape and lined the exhaust cut outs with it.
It's worked really well so far.

If anyone one needs info on the product just let me know.

Cheers.

I was worried about the Phat quads too (they were/are touching the inside of the cutout) but no problems :D
