[QUOTE="supergripen, post: 100203, member: 1254"] :) sorry,took me awhile..work work work.too much work..need a break but none coming in the forseeable future,DAMN!! fitted the ACS backbox last week..initial impression,LOUD!!! it was nice but the droning at 2200 to 2500 rpm was disturbing initially..my wife hated it at first. one thing for sure the throttle response was tonnes better than before..i don't know whether it was because of improved exhaust flow characteristics(what ACS says) or was it because of the reduced backpressure hence reduced torque hence making the gearbox work harder using lower gears..i think its a combination of both but i sure as hell am liking it!! i managed to find a way to get around the droning by modulating the throttle to stay out of the 'drone zone'..its kinda by intiuition though,needs mastering.. but all in all,i love it!!!! sounds the best when moving away from idle..low bassy burble thrum..luvly. side effect,i'm driving faster all the time thus increasing fuel consumption..not complaining though cuz i love every minute of it. now,i'm thinking of replacing the mid portion of the exhaust system including the cat with something like what speedworks have..tuned length dual piping with 2 x 2 bullet type silencers..anyone done this before?? comment???
