So, as some of you may know, themadscientist has done some strange things. Look here.

zerothread?id=154720

I have purchased that part from him and will be placing it on the Laurel within the next few weeks...



It's going to be dropped off at the tuner shop tomorrow to be cut and re-welded back to it's original postion, cleaned and polished, then put on the Laurel.

I can't wait to get on the highway and open this bad ***** up....

Punch a hole in your hood you wee fairy! The two-foot downshift fireballs are worth it.

The best is, downshift on the highway and scare the S*#& out of the cars around you when you launch a 3 ft flame! They'll never pull up on you again! HAHAH!

I used to use it to drown out the teenagers on the bikes with the open exhuasts. They roll slow in big packs and rev their engines like musical instruments. No brokeass 400cc bike could out rip my RB spitting fire through the hood. Them bishez would usually just stop until I had passed by. pen15 envy at it's finest

Guys, as much as I would love to be like The Mad One, I have my reasons for putting it back to stock, and I am sure some of you could agree with my decisions.

1. This is my family mover. I do take long trips in this thing, and the last thing I want to do is draw attention to myself with my family in the car with it shooting flames out the hood.

2. I really don't want to cut the hole in the hood. I still have to make this thing pass sha-ken inspections.

3. My car gets dirty enough being white, I really don't want to deal with carbon buildup on my hood, window and roof.

4. My ultimate plan is to have it exit on the passenger side, just behind the front wheel, all race car like.

Anyway, thanks for the comments.

I'm totally with Bronze MFP on this. Throw it on, pull your hood. take some videos, then put it how you want it. It would be totally kick-***!

I would agree but I'd likely have to then help install it twice instead of once and that's not so bueno

Update on the screamer.

Well, after a month in the shop, I finally got the screamer back today, and was I surprised at how it turned out. It did cost a little more that I was prepared to pay, but after seeing it, and the fact that he had to used a new section of tube for the wastegate exit and fab it up a bit to clear the O2 bung, I can see why it was a bit extra.

For a quick refresher on what it looked like upon receiving it from TMS...







And here is the now finished product, courtesy of Maruya Auto Stay Tire and Maintenence shop.













I can't wait to get this bish on my car....woot!!

Wow, that looks great man. I'm having to fab up a screamer pipe for my external wastegate as well, I'll be happy if it looks 1/2 as good as that.

Bring your tools and park the car at work. Your class needs some practical application time. It could be a class project tonight. Repeat after me class "ouch my ****ing knuckles"!

Apparently, you have never been next to a car that hits full boost, then you hear this massive roar coming from the wastegate...for one, it scares the **** outta the people around you, and two, it sounds friggan awesome when it cracks open.

With no garage, no floor jack or jack stands to get underneath the car, and not enough time to do it by myself, I think I can wait a few weeks till I have a week long vacation and tear into it.

Steering shaft would likely be in the way. We have more space to mess with driving RHD cars.
