Ryan09 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Oright yeah i see what you mean cause it doesnt seem to fit perfectly flush does it, It came with washers or the flange but when you put them on they get caught on the exhaust itself so dont actually fit so i used them as washers else where lol But yeah it does seem to be missing a flange.

Ryan09 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 Well before the dep pipe i got about 80mph now with it absolute pinned about 85mph (nearly maxing the speedo) but better aceleration. I only found this by racing an rx125 and dare held it there 4 longer than 2seconds lol so i rarely go over 75mph to be honest. you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
