...It feels like a completely different car - it pulls like a train all the way to the redline (I keep hitting the limiter accidentially!). Now the car actually feels fast, felt so strangled before!

This is on a UK99, SS BB and Magnex centre, with Forge VTA DV, K&N 57i induction.

It was nice and warm today so got a few pops - not as much as I would have liked - and certainly not that loud - can these be made louder somehow? ECU mapping?

Highly recommended to anyone!

Lots more pops & bangs when everything's running really hot.
More fun, I have found, is if you're in the middle of nowhere on a very dark night, there's sometimes a mysterious glow/flicker under WOT coming from the back of the car you can see in the mirror great for scaring little old ladies pottering along at a (tired) snail's pace

Cool

Hee hee !

I just fitted my TSL downpipe and centre yesterday, and i'm the same, what a difference.

I've got the Firestorm bb on it just now, and it's mega loud.
The pops and bangs are amazing...i get a few unhappy looks when driving through Edinburgh now.

Grrrreat !

For the first time ever I just see the car on the drive and think 'I've gotta take it for a rip'! It's too addictive!

If you haven't done this, you don't know what you're missing out on!
