Anybody got a new H/T and want to give us their impressions?

FRIZZLE (cryptic)

 

I've got an olde one that I really like...

 

I have a new HT!, but as its been raining since i got it installed I havnt been able to get a decent impression yet. Will update you when my wheels stop spinning

 

The new HT you talking about is it the ver2?

 

I think if you search for Mr Frosts previous posts you'll find photos of his exhaust. I think the changes were requested by frosty for his exhaust and then incorporated into ver2. At the price he is selling it, it's a great value.

Mr Frost, how is your Amuse?

 

LemanZ - just about everybody's got ver 2 - ver 1 was nearly 2 years ago now and was purely developmental.

MR FROST ! FARK ! Haven't been called that since forever!
That's only for old fuggers!

The Amuse is a tad quieter and the car feels a tiny bit more "doey", but that's to be expected since the Y isn't included at this stage. Had to put the standard Y on.

The amuse certainly generates a bit of interest wherever we go!

OLD CRUSTY, er, FROZTY

 

It's definitly bewdiful!

 

I have the new HT fitted to my roadster. I am very happy with the service at installation, and the exhaust note. It's hard to tell whether there is an increase in performance, or whether it's just the note making you think that, but it was my first mod, and i would do it again.

 

I've had my HT cat-back for a month now (I assume its the "new" one?), and I'm happy with it. I was going to get a Fujitsubo Legalis-R, but the HT was $500 cheaper and apparently makes better gains.

I haven't dyno'ed my car (not a big fan of dynos) but I do know that the engine revs out cleaner, which means it accelerates better. I get the feeling is also using a bit more fuel (and I haven't been revving it out more, even though I do enjoy the note) but there's not much in it.

I took it out to Wakefield Park the day after I put it on, and on the only timed lap I did all day I managed to run a 1:15.xxx (which I did pretty well, not too many mistakes). Not bad considering I was using my "dead" tyres (which had already seen 4 previous track days, plus country road cruises, plus commuting) and, on the previous track day I'd barely manage to run a 1:18.xxx on those same tyres.

3 seconds on Wakefield Park is a sh!tload. Now, I'd like to think it was my improved skills , but with worse tyres a lot of it is going to be having slightly better acceleration, and the fact that I didn't have to short-shift through the back section to keep the engine pulling.

Speaking of which, I'll be down at Wakefield again on the 6th of September (with some Silvia NSW guys) so if anyone's interested in doing some track work PM me.
