After all this you've solved it!

It's all a translation issue, the Chinese must have thought Tuned meant like a musical instrument.
English is hard to learn with all these words that have different meanings per situation.

I wonder if CX racing can make me a set of Tuned headers?
I'm thinking maybe a B# could be nice.

See how I'll go speed. How about a beer @7.30pm. Just picked her up.

Hammer time!

So you've dríven it and you can honestly say it drives / goes better than before... truth?

Have not dríven it properly. Giving it a clean and then the vodka wash first.
I didn't prompt the exhaust mechanic but he told his mate they were tuned headers.

Why would you trust some yobbo bogan mechanic?

It's not like he could know anything about it, he doesn't have a degree in fluid dynamics.

was that vodka bottle pictured a few pages back next to an automatic transmission shifter?

I smell bullsh!te.

I give the AFM wiring a week tops before it goes up in smoke.

Dupain,

What are your thoughts on USA designed stuff?

The chinese are wizards at fluid dynamics etc, what about the USA since they also do a lot of things?

Yep and it didn't look like a BMW or Porsche either.

Was stuck in traffic on the m5 round that time. Love our new beastie.

Well you've gone and done it now. Doesn't look as bad as I was first expecting, although I'd be keeping an eye on your AFM wiring or maybe shield it from the heat.

Post up a vid so we can hear the tune it plays and get an understanding as to why you were so keen on this system all along.

All fited nicely, their cats are slightly different in length. We had to extend the dump pipe.

Just back from the blast up to Brooklyn and back.

The tune? It was actually quieter, stock like - whilst the HKS was like an angry ant.

Revs to limit very smoothly. From 4000 rpm all the way to red line, it dances in every gear. I think I red lined in 4th for the first time. VTEC like.

0 - 4000 rpm, torque was like stock.

Is it for me as a daily - yes and no - equal to stock but inferior to the HKS Super Header around town. Spirited driving or road trips/racing /tracking - yes.

I've got another epic road trip planned with a few mates. Convoying to the Melbourne Cup on the first Tuesday of November - still to work out which roads to take but the CX header will come off after the trip and used for appropriate situations. Fitment wise, it was 100% and being a US item, we had to extend the dump pipe. If anybody is interested in the product, you are welcome to borrow the car and drive it.

The HKS header in the mean time is getting a new flexi pipe and electrolysis clean and will go on with the Corn's heat shield.

Meet another NA owner tonight. A really nice young guy with a Montego Blue NA - "zelda" plates - real clean car - he had done a really clever boot light mod. He goes to the Pie In The Sky on the weekends and said a hyper turbo NA, frequents there too, anybody here own it?
