Nope twin systems are full of win. Have you got a X pipe or merge in it?

sorry pardon my ignorance but if u go to di filippo website its whatever the setup they have there for a 5 litre but juz the catback but in mild steel. which is the twin 2 1/2 str8 tru mufflers in mild steel n twin 2 1/2 str8 tru rear muffler with twin two outlets in stainless steel. n about the brand i have no idea coz my old workm8 hooked me up coz his dad owns 1 of the fastfit joints in cranny and honestly didnt bother about the brand @ the time juz wanted to change the note atleast. but paid like close to 600 with a hook up. ive asked a few to look at the setup b4 n they said it wasnt a bad deal but saying that im still not entirely sure if it was a gud 1 but all i can say is im happy with it. gotta luv it when it backfires when u rev it up lol

I will get you 15 rwkw for 50 bucks, 100% for sure on a VT 5 litre, maybe more than that. You can get the other 15 from a 1000$ twin system. Oh you allready have a twin system :), you wont gain 15 rwkw from headers

Hey Greenfoam

I have been trying to get some answers on the VT Tune

Is this for premium unleaded or on 91 RON

Is there any change in fuel economy (higher/lower) or is it simply correcting rich fuel mixtures?

I am pretty keen on getting one from you for my VT.

Mainly spark. Probably need higher octane fuel. Going faster costs money and beware of anybody who promises that it doesn't.
