Cool! Beautifully done! [thumbsup][nod]

How much you paid for your HotBits? Did you DIY or get Peter to wrap for you?

Comments on performance?

 

Your is Euro-2... With the Euro-3, there are 2 cat converters a short distance from the top of the header. Very difficult to wrap.

 

Did you take our the resonator (the strange box b4 the air box) and replace it with the V6 pipe?

 

Cheers

I just finished wrapping it myself. On the wrapping part, I'm quite sure I can do a better job than Peter himself. Afterall, I don't need to hurry and bandaging is part of my job! [sly][laugh]

 

If I remember correctly, the header costs me $240. As usual with freer exhaust, you'll get better throttle response and slightly better top end. Low end doesn't suffer.

Don't think it will be very difficult leh. Just wrap it in section.

 

My resonator was taken out long long time ago. I just plug in a 3" pvc pipe.

[thumbsup][nod] agree about the wrapping part. Did you get someone to remove the headers for you or did you remove them yourself?

 

3" pipe [sweatdrop] terror siaz....

 

I did 3 things at one go so cannot tell how much does each of the them contribute to the improved throttle response. (All 3 supposed to help).

 

Did you try the ceramic paint?

Got Sebastian to remove it for me.

 

3"....that's the size of the filter box opening.

 

I did not do the ceramic paint but I used a thermal paint on my ex-stock header. Not that effective leh.
