Nice ride, Zom! Very impressive indeed. Would sure be interesting with all that power on board, nearest thing I could compare it to is my Honda VTR1000F sportsbike... that thing is insane and probably still nowhere near what your wagon is like.
Anyway, a package turned up today... it had this in it:
Yep, that catback exhaust I've been banging on about. Its a 2.5" twin system from Redback and is supposed to have a moderate note to it... as opposed to no note with the stock system.
This is the last time you'll see the stocker hooked up:
A few spurts of WD40 and some twiddling with the ratchet spanner...
Pry the clips and rubbers off...
And the new system is ready to go in!
There we go, even *better* than new.
The best thing is it sounds just right, exactly what I was after. I didn't want a thundering monster, just a subdued, rumbling note to remind you that, yeah, you actually are driving a damn-near 6 litre V8. It fits the bill nicely in that regard and seems to have freed up a few more ponies as well; she's a bit more eager on freeway onramps now and you can feel the urge through the midrange is a bit stronger, too.
The extractors will be next but I'm waiting on gaskets for them.
Til then - boingk
