Nah daz
It's a 5" with burns muffler
Bought it off the us supra forums
Paid about 600us for it I think and had him send it to Sean at Titan and he sent it over
It should be all finished and back in the car and ready to tune by next weekend

Yes it is damn loud!
And has a big lump like an 8 with the gsc cams
It's 5" straight off the turbo, all thinwall stainless and only the 1 muffler at the end so it gets pretty droney
Sounds awesome tho and has helped the whole setup ALOT!
This turbo comes on faster than my old 76gts with .96 and 1.15 housings and this is a 1.28rear gt45 basically

Cool, i looked up and found the Burns website..going to get a 4 inch fart cannon for the 31, but will probally run another 4 inch straight through aswell..i like noise its the resonance drone that kills me.. 5 inch sounds overkill, haha
cheers

Yeah 5" is overkill
Don't need bigger than 4" till over 1400whp according to full race
But I couldn't have built a 4" system for the price I paid for the 5"

Both gate are screamers
---------- Post added 24-04-12 at 20:42 ----------
The 1400whp dyno jet figure would have to be screamers aswell I'd say

Well another set back today
Turns out the piece of metal in the head was a broken piece of valve guide
And some bent valve in number 6 aswell
Lucky I have a spare head for the valves but going to need new guides
Hopefully it will be all sorted in the next couple days
But on another note, went and bought 105lts of united e85
Got it home and tested it
Obviously tested on the high side but it settled at 94% ethanol!
Should work very well with 35-40lb
