Performance Mods to my MCSH

Hey guys,

I have a Hartge S but I want to add a few mods to it. I want an air filter and Works Exhaust. Will this improve the performance of my Hartge 210 upgrade or reduce it? I heard a JCW Works the other day and it sounded fantastic! I am getting an aero kit fitted on 07 Sep and I am also going to go for a set of GP replica wheels. They come with 35 profile tyres, will they rub if I lower it on eibach springs, and do these offer good performance?

Thanks guys

AC

I also have a Hartge but have a few mods and it now has about 230BHP.

Exhaust? I wouldn't bother with the JCW. The only reason to go for that would be for warranty reasons. The JCW's also have a habit of the rear baffles coming loose.

Get a Milltek instead. Similar (if not better) sound. Not over the top like some so easily liveable with. Also has less back pressure than the JCW

Incidently I have a Quiksilver. It only has one silencer and is ****in' loud I can live with it but a lot couldn't. I also have a 4-2-1 manifold and sports cat and that makes it even louder!!!

As for Air Filter, I would recommend the GT Tuning item, the M7 AGS or the HAI. The HAI is a K&N RU 1550 stuck straight on the throttle body and a breather filter on the crankcase vent.

It was acceptable in the 80's
