New Exhaust fitted - BHP and Torque has increased

I've had the car for just over a year now and spent pretty much b*gger all on it and put over 10k miles on it too. So I thought I treat it to a new exhaust, the original one was getting abit flakey and blowing on a couple of joints.

I managed to bag a pair of stainless steel heat exchangers and cross over pipe on US ebay for a shade over £200 to the door. So next stop was Turbo Thomas to furnish the rest of the system.

After a nightmare episode of removing the old system and 6 sheared manifold studs which resulted in an engine removal, its now back and sounding and going harder and stronger than ever. I dyno'd the car beforehand which gave a very healthy 240 bhp, its due back at the same venue for its 'after' results. Initial response after a week of having it back it a massive improvement in throttle response and an amazing sound that the 3.2 should've had when it left the factory.
Anyway some photo's for you, so if you need a new exhaust give Rich a call. http://www.turbothomas.com/

Before and after dyno results, the new exhaust has increased power and torque across the entire rev range with a max increase of 16bhp at max RPM and increasing the max power from 240bhp to 250bhp. I am a happy bunny.
