Don't you just hate it when your girlfriend says that, especially for the things you love.

Guys
Two days on & the Ghia is developing abit of a note now. Seems to be getting louder... Sounds tough!!!! I noticed it yesterday driving home from work but definetally more so today. The idle sounds like an 8 & has a nice note when driving not too overboard. More than happy with the performance though!!!!! |

Yep, that's the carbon build up. It is to be expected that it would change, luckily for you it was changing to better not worse :P

I made a video yesterday of my Fairlane's current exhaust setup with two drive-bys and wanted to share it:

I have a 2.5" cat back; no idea what brand (Mattp would know). It sounded great (one muffler, no hotdog or resonator, and no drone on highway etc). I recently fitted a set of extractors and 2.5" cat ($395 to my door, fitting done by me; extractors appear to be copies of Pacemaker 4499s) to replace the old blocked and ticking cat, and the sound has changed quite a bit. Certainly louder at idle and part throttle applications, but still good at highway speeds, though it is a little louder than before.
Being on LPG, exhaust really isn't the biggest restriction, but there is a definite improvement in throttle response and sound.
