Do you mean run the header without a cat to the carback? aka testpipe? Or do you mean literally only the header and no catback? Either way nope, just run normal street set up.

Got EPA'd and they guy wouldn't pass me with only the stock exhaust on so I changed back to stock headers too. Only lowered it by 1db and he still wouldn't pass me. So I went somewhere else and I passed by like 8db, so pretty much them coming off was a complete waste of time and money.

Good News

Track day on Sunday. Awesome fun! My last lap for the day in Session 4 was also my PB of 1.52. Happy with the time but definitely can do better with better tires! (Fronts way too wide, rears bald) Criticism of my driving is that I forgot what Winton looked like from above and ended up taking the hairpins as 2 corners instead.



Spun out a couple of times, with my second time being after the straight. This put some strain onto my wheels and the tyre came "loose" from the rim. Didn't notice as when I checked the pressures but they seemed alright but upon driving back to Melb the car didn't feel right. Pulled into a servo to check the pressure (after pulling up to Tom / Charger at the lights ) and found my front left was only at 14psi! Inflated it to 38 and after waiting for 5 minutes it was down to 36. So quickly drove home and popped the car onto jack stands to relieve the pressure. Had to borrow a mates set of stockies but now have a set of 215/45/17 Kumho Ku31's coming in this afternoon thanks to Johnny (OTR).



Hopefully with newer tyres and more confidence I can break the 1.50 barrier next time!

Bad News

Went to head into uni this morning and noticed something was odd...low and behold my car has been badged. Got rid of all the glue but left with scratches on my boot.

[Norm]

OH NO...............................this is the most dreaded thing. Thank goodness i'm not at uni anymore. Is that scratch down to the primer?

[bungsai]

damn, sorry to hear about the badging.

Do you have the natsoft sheet for times from that day by any chance?

[M@lew]

Yeah. Ordered some scratch up paint but doubt that will do a lot, but might as well try.

Thanks. Maybe I'll beat their times one day! ty for looking for the badge too. If i can't buff out the scratches and such I might just grab a sticker and pop that over instead.
