Hey All... Finally updated the blogspot with some impression of what she feels like and what the new exhaust looks like...

Let me know what your thoughts are...

The exhaust looks great...very high quality work!

The smoke would have freaked me out as well but hopefully just cleaning out the cobwebs...Might have been some oil on the exhaust burning of as well. I assume there hasn't been a repeat of it now and it is not blowing smoke now?

The performance sounds pretty much as expected. A nice increase over the stock 4age. Once it is engineered will you be goin for ram tubes/filter sock setup as apparently this releaes a bit more power.

Anyway the car looks great and now has a nice new engine so you must be happy...good work!

I was actually quiet happy with the exhaust... Although it can be loud at times when you open her up...

Yeah... The smoke was a once off... and it hasn't been blowing any more smoke.

Yeah... the engine feels nice and healthy... just needs a bit of a tune. After much thought, even after engineering, I doubt I will be moving to Velocity Stacks & Socks... as it will draw a lot of hot air in... I think an airbox is still the best setup for this engine. But I will be looking at various setups... this will be following on as well...

Going for VS and socks doesn't necessarily give you more power, as the 4age engine in the AW11 is pretty hot. Already now, with the current Airfilter, I believe the hot air is partly the cause of the detuned engine.

The engine definitly suits the AW11 chassis. It's a much better designed engine suited for this car... why couldn't toyota come up with this kind of combo!!!!!

Anyway... It's not quiet over yet...
