    @Arfa Brayne start saving for a set of extractors you will
    acheive great gains from that and a 2.5 system,, lol

    Fitted a nice set of extractors and 2.5inch system to my previous TB42 auto.= Surprised and Dissapointed at the result.
    Found it reduced bottom end torque but not any power gain in the upper revs, possibly due to undersized LPG system.
    No heat related problems, However it did result in a droning exhaust note.
    "Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
    Best way to deal with a "Can't" is to chop off the "t" and brew it in boiled water for a few minutes.
    Sip on the "t", and consider what you've got left to work with

    I'm a bit lost here about how the flexi pipe manage to flexibility and airtightness while being able to weld it!
    No argument it does, I just wonder how the flexi mesh manage that.
    You could clamp I suppose.

    The problem is not with normal batteries, it's with AGM batteries, they are a lot more sensitive to heat

    Most exhaust joints can supply and fit a flexi joint. It cost me $70 to have a joint suooledand fitted

    We don't have to install AGMs under the bonnet, do we?!!!

    Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of DIY.
    Exhaust places usually do a better and quicker job, and DIY doesn't necessarily save money either.
    It's just the fun of doing a DIY. Not that fun when I screw up something though.

    You can get AGM's that are rated for under bonnet use.
