Quicksilver were too busy with gas flow meters, temp sensors, flow rate diagrams etc, I put it on a rolling road, not them

Ok Ok, my technical knowledge is not good and i don't want to get into as spat with the bigger boys in the playground but whatever they did the turbo feels/ sounds liberated and it is 100% 200BHP + with the Quicksilver and the K & N , not just from rolling roads but from real world, a world inhabited by owners of Clio 182' s, R32 and Gti Golfs and Imprezas that have tried ( no doubt ) and failed to overtake this car.

I don't have any ' involvement ' with any exhaust company and will offer objective opinions

If anyone wants to pop round with a stock R56 MCS we'll put it on the rollers and see. maybe we could do a side by side driving test on the way.

i suspect that the cat is pretty free flowing and the changing of the rear sections has freed some flow. It also always has shell V max in it. maybe that's another few HP...anyway how good does that exhaust look and sound anyway?
