My mapper is supplying it and its cheap to.My boost soloneid has been acting strange so if it plays up on the day my mapper recommended I upgrade to a 3 port if it needs changing

Long life are a good exhaust but can be expensive on the up side the quality is good

And if your worried about having no cats and a cel light coming on you can get the o2 sensor adaptor that sits the lambda back abit so its not in direct flow of the exhaust.

I don't have a style as such.My approach is !Removed! my clutch is knackered I better change it.I dragged mine out on purpose over a week,For one the weather was !Removed! and didn't want a cold back and be ill and the second reason was I was off all week so no need to rush.I could have !Removed! it in a day in my back garden.I actually enjoyed doing it.Today I had to do a run to leeds in an artic I got back to Manchester about 10.30 this morning my boss said do you fancy changing a radiator on a Daf cf I said ok.Ive never touched one in my life but I did it.I think its how you go about things

Ive also got to take into account my helper springs and camper plates.I may have to compress my spring to get all this on.Because at the minute ive no need to lol
-
The Forester Turbo
Hi Paul ive no idea what my spring rates are on the ones I have.
-
The Forester Turbo
From what I can work out Paul my old springs should have been 7inches when not compressed but there more like 6 and 3/4 inches lol.Ive been doing some reading on these springs and technicaly my 7 inch springs should be something like 5 inches when compressed which is not a lot but because my springs are tired mine are more sitting like 4 and 3/4 so there is no room for bounce.Im gonna be looking at 9 inches which will give me something like 7 inches in real terms.The only thing is I can only find springs with a rate of 75 lbs being the lowest
