True, i didnt know there was a club face book page. What rpm did you have the idle set to? Also what grade oil did you run in it

800rpm for idle sometimes fluctuated to up to 1200rpm. 15w 40 race oil, from bop oil supplies

I'm running 2'' custom pipe with one coby mid way and one standard 2'' muffler at rear. Standard a15 at moment but will run 140hp a15 very soon with same exhaust... only addition "coby headers" with flexi join as the engine will shake around. I have ported the coby "headers" exhaust flange to match my race head as the standard holes don't always match up 100%. Figured the 150hp factory GTI VW Golf runs a 2'' pipe its good enough for me.

So thats 5 votes on the 2". I thort 2 1/4" would be the story...

140HP A15 would be a good bit of fun, be sure to start a build thread for that cheif

Will do some homework in next few weeks.

It will be a box oval type and be mounted under rear left passenger seat
only place to locate it on the coupe

have my old 1200 sedan setup fitted to coupe, but it does not quite fit. so will be surplus
