My new ASP Big Tube Header just arrived at Hybrid Racing HQ, huge thanks to Stefan and David for getting this for me. Now will be on it's way home shortly ~ hopefully new system will be up and running by end of next weekend.

Exhaust will be fabbed up by Nathan from Fabulous Fabrications. We will be using 3in T304 1mm material with all V band connections and oval muffler and resonator to keep it tamed. Will have a straight pipe for race purpose and show only. More to come shortly

Nope, didn't have a clue ... no tag thats why ~ might look into it now

That is Sick!! I'm sure you will be amazed by quality of the header

I'm currently running a Cusco Sway Front and Rear

Look at those welds..

I'll get some more weld porn when Nathan is done with his work ... I can say he is one of the best in the industry!

Now that's an update!

There will be more, it's been a long waiting game!

Hi guys, sorry for such a late update ... been so busy getting everything ready for track day which I had today to some of you already know who have me on FB and IG.

First things first, ASP header got installed and then encountered a huge problem ... I will let photos judge how bad it was

You can see how the megaphone part is sloped down so much ... it literally had like 20-30mm off the ground, also considering that my car is low ... but not crazy low ~





Nathan from Fabulous Fabrications helped me out here and sorted the issue out by cutting it off at the collector, adding a short piece to bring it back up and welding it back together. Which he did an amazing job, hands down ... one of the best fabbers in Brisbane! Stefan gladly sorted out the bill for the issue as it should be for customer satisfaction.

And then he fabbed up the rest of the exhaust using the thinnest 3 inch C304 stainless, utilizing all v band connections throughout the whole system for gasket free, reliability and ease of use. A Magnaflow hot dog resonator and ARK Design muffler were used to complete the system ... therefore leaving it with a very tamed crisp toned for a 3 inch exhaust. We were very surprised how quiet it was for such a small res and muff in the system, great for daily duties ... but really opens up when WOT!

As you can see here, the ASP big tube header really is tight ... I had to cut off some part of the subframe to fit it in properly and even that it still taps it, you will see what I mean below ~

Besides that, I am very very happy now with the whole quality of the new exhaust system ... should be great for when I boost this thing!

All the recent photos and video footage of todays track day will be all in tomorrows or this weekends update ... very tired today so really just want to sleep

Thanks all ... keep posted!

That exhaust looks great! I have to go back and alter mine, wish we had someone like that here in Vic (well I should start looking properly)

[eskimo_firefighter]

Exhaust looks awesome, but the header 'looks' awfully close to things in the last two photo's.

[Timmy_B]

Can't wait to hear this thing.
Whats the sound compared to the J's Racing 70RR?

[felixR]

Amazing fabrication work with the exhaust!

Here are a few snapshots that my little brother got at QR Trackday 14/08/14. I am still trying to get some time to upload the video of inside and outside of the car to Youtube, hopefully I will leave it going overnight ...
