Too fast??

Surely the exchaust is more for the sound and sporty feel than sheer power gains which aren't breathtaking!

a decent exhaust has the ability to make you feel like your going faster than you are!

And 25hp & 30+ftlbs.. Makes a big difference on these cars for sure! Especially on a ED30 with the bigger turbo..

this topic has obviously come up at the right/wotng time just to aggravate me... :evilgrin:

been thinking more about this as my car "budget has been reduced just recently with c/crunch kicking in and kids on hols and GF job change so ive just been trying to decide do i really nedd and intake and exhaust to boost performance as its easily quick enough for me on an everyday opportunity,and yet i want more...more sound more engine noise more speed more more!

or do i be sensible and spend the reduced money i have on cosmetics to make the car look even better(imo) and to get it looking just so
rims
coded bumpers
moar carbon bits etc etc

haveing said all that i couldnt resist the american carbonio copy on ebay, so who am i kidding :ashamed: :evilgrin: :rolleye:

yes no yes no yes no
aaaaaaaaagggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

depends a lot on the circumstances and frequency of your driving.
if I'm commuting all week, then I get used to 'low rpm cruising' and a subsequent quick blast at the weekend and it feels really fast.
however if I spend the weekend at an event , enjoy the car to its potential for 2 days then it start to feel slow.....

in short do some track days and other forms of pushing the car and youll prob get way more used to it and want more.
conversely if you want to save ££££ just drive it like a pensioner for a week (or use a diff car) then jump into the Ed30
