The Phatman's weightloss program!

Phat has recently shaved some weight off from my fmic piping and at the same time making the car more responsive and more reliable due to less piping!! I originally had the Blitz fmic kit but the piping route has made things difficult of late......it was consistently popping off of the original subaru mount to the throttle.

upon consultation from the phat, he did some drastic changes, from memory he removed 1.2 metres of piping, improved throttle response and also has allowed me to put my stock engine cover back on!!! Gotta love that!!! :P
Can't thank Phatman enough, quality finish and workmanship, LEGEND!!

Thanks PHAT!!! much appreciated, also i think Blitz should have hired ya buddy!

here are some pics

thanks guys!!

yea it only took 2 afternoons for Phatty, the car runs heaps better now, and i don't have to worry about the piping popping off when running high boost. Im even more glad that the engine cover fits back on, looks so much more neater in the engine bay now.

When I read the topic I thought it was due to not being able to afford to buy food because of all the stuff PHAT GT somehow gets you to buy leading to weight loss. :lol:
