Having A Back Box Quad Conversion Made And Fitted

[WTI 59]

just wondering Mr Smaky if it will have any detrimental effect on the car.

[Smaky 73]

That is all dependant on how it is designed and the back pressure it creates, one of the most crucial things in smoth running is the correct flow of gases through the engine and having the correct pressure in the exhaust side aids in the evacuation of the cylinders on their exaust stroke aswell as maintaining the correct temperatures to prevent thermal shock of components such as the valves and pistons. Also consider the note, as the raspier it is the more it is making the engines internals resonate and this can accelerate wear to componts such as valve seats, plus the added effect of normally droping the Mpg andannoying the nieghbours.

Get one that fits the shape of the cut out on the bumper that would look

[Smaky 73]

Quad 50mm square look quite good on the back of the GTAs, but only havin a cut out on one side makes it all look wrong.

[Smaky 73]

Have it rolling roaded before and after so a point can be proven.

I'm not wanting anything proving I just picked a quad back box style I liked almost indentical to BIRDMANS.

 

Stop pissing on my chips

Rolling road next Saturday in Leeds, you should bob along.

[Smaky 73]

DO IT !!!

[WTI 59]

Ok Smaky will I have made my car slower with this new back box?

 

I had no illusions of bhp gains or as some of the claims of some of these exhaust places about mpg.

Haven't used the GT hardly all year but now have no second car so just had it serviced and the mpg that has been 30-31 has been down to split turbo boost pipe as you correctly advised me ages ago in a power down low mpg thread I started ages ago
