Unhappy

Ok it’s officially doing my head in now.

Want to change the Centre and back box (April 99 turbo) but WHICH ONE????????????
TSL Group N or Firestorm or afterburner
Don't want anything that looks like a flower pot, but i want to release that lovely flat four sound.

There was a great thread on here last week (have a look in 'Search') where the guys were comparing the sounds produced by Firestorm, Afterbunner, etc. They had posted mp3's to help make the decision - awesome!! (esp. the Firestorm IMO)
Worth a look if you can find it......

Cool

Doesn't look too bad when on.

When i unwrapped it, i thought it was a bit OTT.

But now it's on, it looks great.

Chap, I had the entire TSL system fitted from downpipe back (no cats, no resonator etc)

I'm not sure on exactly the BHP improvement - really depends on the car but most people quote +25BHP for exhaust and induction.

My car already had a GGR decat, I just changed to TSL, to really work out the true difference I would need to get it re-mapped and rolling roaded again..

Just FYI - my car running on 3.5 cylinders (long story) with this exhaust, APS induction kit and LINK ECU = 297BHP

p.s. Full TSL system fully fitted = £800 ish - give TSL a call to clarify.

back box is just worth getting for the sound (too loud in my type-r - my teeth hurt after an hour)
