Not sure about the new tip. Did you just have the old one cut down? It looks like a cut off because it doesn't have a rolled in edge. When I had my exhaust done both tips were cut down by a few inches...the bits that were left over look like what you've had fitted :confused:

No mate it's what I wanted! It's a straight cut tip and not supposed to be rolled in... will look better when its a bit dirty! As with some things it just looks better in real life. Was thinking of painting it matte black anyway...

Sounds like p-torque did a good job with your remap then mate!

Enjoying the extra power?

Really wish I could afford a remap! Think I'll be going with p-torque though after your success with them!

Yes, love the extra power. It's amazing what a remap can get from an engine! Not driven it since I got it done as I am at the folks for Xmas... can't wait to take it out when I get home! Best money spent on the car so far I think.

Remap results

Just thinking about the benefits of my remap today so I thought I would post the results...

Pre-remap
JKM dyno day (March 2009)....... 157 bhp and 180 lb/ft torque
P-Torque dyno (December 2009).......163 bhp and 185 lb/ft torque

Post remap
P-Torque Stage 1 dyno (December 2009).......229 bhp and 232 lb/ft torque (temperature was -2 degrees...)

Therefore, bhp is up by 40% and torque is up by 25%. :funk:

Not really had much of a chance to drive it since getting the remap due to the crap weather and not really being at home long enough :cry:
I am going to clean it tomorrow AM too...

Had some free time today, so took the FR out for a bit of a drive and had a chance to take some pictures. Good to try out the remap too...
