All done. Makes a real difference - installed at 20,000 miles so the engine was nice and loose anyway. immediate impression is that there is now more power available, it pulls particularly well from 2k revs at lower speeds and at, er, track day speeds, it is now immediately more responsive. Basically between the gears on the automatic there is less tendency to change down and where it used to hold on to a gear almost to the red line it now changes earlier. they have clearly remapped the gearbox as the install takes longer. about 1mpg difference although that's more about being heavier footed because it is so much fun. cornering is also enhanced as you can get the power down quicker and tighten the line.
and those big tubes at the back? pure filth and the size balances the JCW roof spoiler. exhaust note is just a rumble the whole time. |
