It's in a heatshield and is from a reputable tuning company who have no doubt spent a lot of time and effort developing it, it utilises the cold air feed from the slam panel, I have monitored the inlet air temperature in many circumstances and I have never once noticed the heat heading about 3-4 degrees above the outside air temperature.

I think it's a bit of a misconception to be honest as a lot of big power RS's run an open filter in the engine bay even with no shielding :-) each to there own anyways I am happy with it and it's good to not follow the heard sometimes, especially when it makes no odds performance wise.

As for the acceleration times I haven't figured it... I imagine with a good start it would dip below 6 to 60, in gear is where it's at though and 30-120 it's pretty serious... It's shocked a few expensive motors in gear anyways.

Where are you monitoring temps...if it's not at the inlet manifold, it's probably not accurate. That's the temp of the air entering the engine.........

[Carlos24]

I work in controls and instrumentation and actually made a little test cable with a thermocouple on the end and fed it into the cabin to monitor temps and by enlarge they were exactly the same as the temperatures that were being shown on the OBD gauge that I have that reads inlet air temperature... I also notice no, noticeable lag in the engine after sitting in traffic for extended periods of time... As far as I am concerned people are entitled to there opinion but in this instance I have proven it to be untrue that having the filter in the engine bay like this causes heat soak...

Awesome cars, just traded the wifes in.
Jamsport in N'hamtpon are experts with them and when I was there last week had one that produced 680bhp Looked superb, just not sure how driveable it would be though.

[Carlos24]

I can't imagine that it would work as an every day car at that.. I feel like mine is about as far as I would want to take a road car... And that's half the power haha!

A little video to try and show the noise, still haven't managed to get a drive bye video as I am stuck for someone to film but it's the best I can do :-)

New cat back fitted today for a bit more noise! Looks the same as the old one but it basically sounds like a race exhaust compared to the last one that I had...

That really was a quick snippet of noise too, eh?

[Carlos24]

Yeah only just had it fitted this evening so just a quick blast, I will get a bit of a longer one as soon as I can ;-)

[Carlos24]

So I was off work today and a little bored.... and I'm not adverse to hearing the sound of a 5 pot through a cobra venom exhaust... So I took a little drive out to ribblehead viaduct and took a few snaps.




















Cheers for looking!!

Testing out my gopro and got a little vid of the exhaust, the mic isn't the best but it gives some idea...
