Sportex are alright to be fair, yes they're mild steel and the pipework is only 1 3/4 inch, but you are getting a free flowing cat back exhaust for around £150 which do provide a mild performance increase, and they fit the car!

Same bore as BTB 2.5" was the spec they used. It had to be a modified/custom exhaust as the pugsport manifold comes back further than a normal manifold, that has massive bore primaries.

70,000 revs!!! fucking hell i bet thats fast!!! and 90 mph in 3rd will be due to the long ratios on the VTR boxes

Only thing we can put it down to is electrical, after all the tests. The loom is a bit of a mess from when the car was first finished, so it was needed at somepoint, just annoying it shat itself mid track season.

Not many (if any) members on here have bodykit's on thier cars mate to be honest. Where did you get your powerflow exhaust from?

so you have larger bore sizes on each branch of the manifold aswell?
is it shiny though the most important thing obviously?
