A few days ago i picked the car up from it's winter storage. It was a fun drive home
I started working on the exhaust as i think it was to quiet. I started with building a dummy for the cat. I replaced my 3,5" magnaflow cat with a cleaned out 3,5" cat. Directly on the test drive the car hit overboost at 2,4bar. I think the cat was holding the turbo back, maybe a lot of backpressure? Well i think that will be sorted out when remapping later after i have changed the head and cams.
Picture of my fake cat with v-band flanges for easy swapp:
Then it was time to make some changes to the sound. I decided to remove the last of the two silencers that are still mounted on the car. I welded on a v-band flange so that i can change between loud and less loud. I will make some brackets for the exhaust pipe and weld on a nice end pipe. The rear end will also be fixed in a couple of weeks..
Without silencer:
So today i went to the post office to pick up my refurbished 7A head. Rushed home and open up the box to find this beauty
