mywhitevs sounds sweet mate

eurekamad94 thats sounds sooo meaty for a six nice work mate !!!

Abrowne70 creaming myself, makes me think about keeping my 6 and doing something similar, but just too expensive over buying an 8

Thanks for the comments. Im sure it will be a bit quieter once the rest of the exhaust is fitted and the inatke plumbed to the cooler.

needwork2-4fillhabbit Not to long now and she'll be hittin a strip near me? Not sure where you are. But nice work.

Thanks mate. I'm in country SA so no strip here as yet, although they've had plans for several years. But basically it's going to be a quick street car.

Cheers

Thanks for the tip, will keep it in mind.

Wouldn't the same thing apply when its all plumbed up and in park/nuetral?

Cheers
