AWESOME FLOW, but it is a REAL pain in the ass to put it on and take it off. Also, unless you have an early 1G with the external oil cooler (or have upgraded to an external cooler getting ride of the "sandwich" style cooler) you will have to take off the Down Pipe to change the oil filter....which as I said is a REAL PITA.

Another thing, is that it is NOT made to mate up to a stock cat, or test pipe that is flanged like a stock cat. The HRC piece is SHORTER than a standard down pipe, and has a THREE BOLT flang instead of the standard two bolt flage we are all used too.

Last thing, it is NOT made to fit correctly on a Galant VR-4...don't bother to get it for the Galant VR-4 unless you don't mind beating the living crap out of it to dent it in to clear the cross member for the engine, or cutting a notch into the cross member.

Later,

Keith

Best pass to date 12.817 @ 108.42 with a 1.786 60'. Not bad for a 4 door huh?

Dyno sheets at http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Track/1635/Galant_info.html

PS: Yeah, I know that time is slow for that dyno sheet. This track sucks!

I do agree it's one of the best "bolt-ones" that you can get for your 1g or 2g I'm just surprised that no one else has attempted to duplicate it! that's why it's so much $$$ - there's no competition out there :( I know HRC is making a fortune on that piece, I see people putting this eliminators almost on the daily bases, I think I'll wait until cost comes down a little - for now ported to H*ll 2G housing will do :D
