Interestingly I took the HT off last night - and im sure it feels quicker. It may just be from more noise but I know i'm well tuned into the car.

Like when I put the S/C on the car - the weight on the front end was very noticable - for the worse.

So yes, weight is a big point.

Will be interesting when I replace all the exhaust as that will be a double hit. Weight and power. YOu notice it more when taking mods off!

You going to replace the exhaust before selling it or has the wind changed again and you've decided to keep it?

Its not 20 more - about 10 tops.

And that's with 100 ron fuel.

It has a higher CR and different ECU settings.
