unora Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Today I installed the new exhaust manifold but first I finished the installation of the new BMC air filter:I made this with Samco hoses and aluminium tubes: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />The old: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />The new one: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />Compare both: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />This is not supplied by Alfatech and it is necesary. The reason, I do not know they did not answer my questions about: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />The new one installed, it looks very nice: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />Cold: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />Hot: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />And finally the original short resonator. I decided to quit it because with it the motor loose torque between 6k to 7k rpm. It is only 50 mm in diameter against 70 mm of the Samco hoses: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" /> Edited March 30, 2006 by unora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megamind Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 In Italy it's illegal the BMC air filter, here it's permissed only normal panel filter! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_M Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 That looks like great work there mate/Is the box on the original pipe a silencer and are there any sensors attached to it, as might have my one removed to increase the exhaust flow? border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />Any performance implications that you know of?

unora Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 The box on the original pipe is the cat. This pipe has two lambda sensor attached in the same direction and position of the red arrows. Of course removing the cat improves the flow and speed of the exhaust gases. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />On the other hand, the check engine light is turn on now because the second sensor is measuring wrong values.Megamind, if you are going to buy Alfatech exhaust take care about the gaskets. They did not send me the middle gasket style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
