yeah thats what im worried about ill have to do some research on it because i dont really want to get it tuned twice . unless i can tune the new computer just to be able to run it in and then get it properly tuned. probably a bad idea though might just have to get it tuned twice which will be rather exspensive

Looking mint Hayden, I love that plenum!
can I ask why you've painted your cooler pipes black?
Coz your old VL had black pipes too? I would have thought
that being black the would absorb a lot of heat?
keep up the good work mate

the pipes are made of exhaust tubeing that way we could make them at home as i only have a mig welder at home therefore the pipes have to be either powder coated or painted to stop them from rusting. as for them being black i just felt the engine bay needed a bit more black to it but now its lacking in chrome /polished stuff which the stainless tanks ill be getting made should sort that

the black looks good,breaks up the blue,it would look too much if it was all blue and polished

so If it exits out the side of the car, thats still legal is it? I always thought they always had to be plumbed back into the exhaust to make them legal.

they have to be past the cabin to be legal as far as i know,that means just before the front wheel
