The only conclusion I can come to is the arrow it too face into the direction of airflow. Not with the airflow.

Didn't see that. My theory is wrong then but still makes no sense as to why it doesn't work the correct way.

It currently runs perfectly now so I'm not turning it around so it can cough and splutter everywhere wasting fuel.

Got the new exhaust made up today.

Pacemakers were flanged, 200 cell cats, H pipe, twin 2.5” pipes into Flowmaster 40 series Delta flow mufflers at the rear with tips.

Looks much better from the ass than the previous and is actually really well made. Happy with the quality over the old one that's for sure.

Got flanges after the headers and before the diff so I can drop it down easily if I need.

Its loud. My previous was loud also but different. This is much more of an old school crackle noise. Kind of tinny in a way at low rpm. Blows the doors at WOT though its porn.

I'm going to drive it for a few weeks and decide if I want to try chucking some hot dogs in before the diff to take some of the edge off or just leave it. Don't get me wrong I do like it, I think it's just so much different to the previous one I've heard on it for the last 9 years its thrown me a bit. Doesn't sound normal lol.

It really needs a fat cam with a stroker to make the most of it.

I'm going away for a few days but will get a decent vid next week.

Don't often see a tailgate without any chips or dings. Yours is mint. I have to paintless dent knock mine and repaint it because of about 6 - 8 paint chips. Might have it done by a painter though and have it done in 2k.
