Ryan going to speak to Ross re going reverse inlet as I've purchased a fmic with reverse pipe work. What's actually involved doing this? And what's the benefits?

People say that it's not worth doing but my pipe work is under their car so not happy with it being that low,, also done people say don't bother but if you see what Ross has accomplished with his car all these little mods make a Big difference

Didt want to go reverse but thinking about it as the pipe work from the hybrid fmic I got off Fud is ready for it

Unless you want to swap pipe work Ryan so you won't have to cut yours

Martin

That could be a good idea mate... Will have to look at your pipes see what fitment is like

M2RTXhawkeye

iTrader: (61)

Fuds not sent it me yet the pipe works black aswell only pic I've got but could be a good idea if your going to chop yours to rotate



Martin

Very nice,reminds me of the old school Cadbury chocolate wrapper colour.SJ.

Rbon91

iTrader: (6)

Needs a few more coats..
going for metallic purple... nit to everyones taste but I like it

cheers ryan

stonejedi

iTrader: (51)

That's all that counts reallybut with that type of colour you need to pick up a few more parts to colour code or maybe some Samco hoses of that similar colour to tie it up with other parts so it does not stand out just by itself if you get my drift.SJ.

belt cover
