Cheaper than new and just as good, and I'm not going for enough power to need bigger. I was warned against going for more power with a 180k mile engine, that I might not like the results. I'll have to live with a modest 1 bar tune.
i concur. my mileage is in similar territory and with most every bolt on available with a 1.2 tune and hybrids. but that is the "sweet spot".
pretty sure this motor will live nearly forever. even if i won't lol. but a man must know his and his motors limitations. if longevity is to matter.
No, not yet - I am waiting for the new interior bit, the last piece of the puzzle, and they are supposed to be here 3rd week of February, so I see zero point in taking it apart twice - I will do it all at once.
Did UW make that system? Are those Helmholtz resonators? I know how sensitive you are to droning.
No, I calculated the diameter and length of the tubes based on my engine displacement and drone rpm range and had a local shop make them to my specification. Those are actually not Helmholz resonators. They are 1/4 wave resonators. Completely knocks out all drone and changes the tone of the exhaust. Without them, the 3.5” straight pipes had an unbearable ear shattering drone and sounded pretty bad, very “farty”, not good. The 1/4 wave resonators made it sound deeper, quieter, and more like the typical X-pipe. Pretty amazing change in sound dynamics, almost hard to believe.

Sorry missed this earlier; it pulls the cushion out, and down a little - the hope is that a little more adjust-ability will make the longer drives more comfy.

The front part of the seat cushion or the the whole seat cushion?
