Looks great Sid! Did you get the full exhaust or are you adapting your Borla Race? It's not always important to be the 1st in everything ya know; what matters in the end is you're happy with the car and the feeling it gives you. *hug*

I'd love to know when/where you're doing your dyno session and stop by and check it out!

Cheers,
Ryan

Hey Ryan...always great to have your support my friend...

I'm adapting it to my Borla Race (still love the way it sounds) but I need to look into a replacement resonator and I'll be cat-less this time...I expect the dB to be "slightly" higher... Looked at Flowmaster but they're waaaay backordered...Magnaflow looks like a good candidate though...

so what dyno numbers did your car have before this mod? Any numbers you can share here?

Jan is an awsome person. I talked to him few weeks ago and he took his time to explain everything to me. I wish I had waited to get his RMW head but I already have had that done before he came out with his head. Oh well, I'm looking forward to his Rotrex project to hit the market.

Nice header! Where can I get one.

Cat-less!!! That thing will be crazy loud. I'm not kidding. You might want to reconsider putting a cat on.

But if you don't, I want video.

Damn! You're always on top of your stuff...what are you going to to about check-engine light?

Looking forward to your seat-of-the-pants review as well.

Oh yeah, almost forgot, where do I buy and how much?

What light? I've been running with an O2sim even with a cat...the whole things been bypassed and no light...Price? You need to call Jan at RMW for the specifics...I'm Beta Tester...

Nothing conclusive...I had a boost leak at the last dyno and was running 12.5psi with stock ECU map but still managed 196whp...Let's see what 15psi with all the goodies and a RMW flash will do...

196 whp is still a great number even when considering that you were running a boost leak!! What were your mods then? Just curious.

You're still running a kiddy?

Blissful...that 196whp dyno with 12.5psi was before I got the RMW head on...

Imagine the chart with RMW head, RMW header, RMW ECU flash, 440 injectors and full boost...

Hi Sid,

Looking good!

It's interesting you're going to 440. I ended up going from m7 400 back to JCW 380. But I only have the Cosworth head.

Does Jan recommend going to 440 for more power, or are you doing it on your own for a safer operating area?
