Default Farnbacher Loles Exhaust

Just finished installation of a complete Farnbacher Loles exhaust system on my Orange GT3RS-it was a bit spendy$$$ but complared to the bits I saw at the LA auto show from GMG it's a huge notch above. Very nice piece. They claim a 30 HP increase with the exhaust, air filter and ECU Upgrade. The car is notably quicker and I have not done the ECU upgrade yet. Can't wait. Anyone else doing this system? BTW; they mentioned a Bilstein shock upgrade for this car that is PASM compatable. Should be out by first of 08'. Merry Christmas to you all!!!

No, it's lighter by about 12 lbs. The chrome tips had to go though, I painted them with high temp semi gloss enamel and they look completely stock from outside other than a bit larger dia.

Can you post some pics of it installed on the car from below? What sold you on the F-L exhaust as opposed to the others, AWE, Cargraphic, etc?

Default Picture of Underneath & WAV

I suspect it was selected for the quality and the superior HP & Torque gains when married w/ our software.

Image is with optional bologne cut tips. Laser Etched as in Poor Bobby's picture is standard.



Cheesy Wav: (Better than nothin' for now)

Yeah we need more clips. So far I like the sound of this exhaust best. Also love the tips ala RSR.
We need some drive by clips.
Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the pics from F-L; I'll get some of my car next week, the standard tips look very nice except I painted them Black (sorry FL). You guys should consider offering that as an option since there's no chrome on the car. Still loving them them.

Finished Fresh Dyno Runs on Dyno Dynamics AWD Dyno.
Results without any false correction and with the vehicle fully heatsoaked.
Power Plus consistently produced:
450 peak hp at the flywheel

- what correction factor did you use to get chp from whp?
- can you post the whp graph if you have it?
- the dyno dynamics dynos are usually known as real heart breakers so it would be great to see the whp numbers from the stock car


thanks
