Pic of the custom exhaust tips. Much better than the ugly stock ones which point down!
My dyno chart. You can see the significant gains through the RPM range for both torque and HP and the fact that the HP line is now very linear all the way to redline.
However as the dyno centre has a very small fan, the dyno figures will be conservative of actual power on the road. Dyno is post tuning but before I installed the race cat. Expecting to get another 10hp and 20-30nm with the cat after a new remap.
Post race cat dyno. You can see some big gains low down in the rpm range. These are wheel figures. Adjusted for the crank, the gain was as high as 60nm! Peak torque at the crank now around 430nm. For some reason the gains are lost through the mid band but that isnt how the car feels on the road. May be some cut back on ECU timing due to high IATs on roller dyno.
