HY!

Today comes the parcel with the tips and speakers



Hertz Speakers (Italien brand)



Borla Tips







A little problem is, the pipe from the box to tip is outside 70,5mm. The Borla tip have inside 64,5mm and outside 67mm. Normaly no problem to weld on

On the picture from the topspeed exhaust with look in the tip, i can see the 2,5" and the other pipe outside is show

Austria? Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie!

Seriously, clean car man. I like the look of that exhaust. It's going to look even better with the Borla tips. Good luck making them fit.

I just spent the last hour reading the thread.
Are you a engineer or auto Machanic? All the upgrades have been fantastic.
Have you driven the car on the Autoban? If so how fast did it go and how was the handling?
Thanks for posting the thread. FYI the weather temperature in Florida was 65F ! Sumo

HY!

@sumotime... i learned radio and TV mechanic, worked on wind turbines/plants and yet on UPS-Systems for servers... but my hobby is over 15 years japanese cars, prefeered Toyota and Lexus (my family drives over 35 years Toyota privat and in the company)
Yes...i driven on highways In Austria is limited of 130km/h but in Germany is open maximum speed was ~225km/h and the SC was very smooth to drive with the Bilstein suspension and the 18" wheels

Today, finally, a warm day with sun 5°C...very hot

ok...here my picture-love-story

get ready and up wheel the wheel


a short look under the car...ok..all fine.


oh! a original exhaust here








oem muffler vs Top-Speed Muffler




The gasket is ok for the top-speed, i think, no problem.
