Title: New bike
Post by: Martyn1965 on December 25, 2015, 07:42:10 AM
Hi guys I was blasting down the M5 the other week on my 04 pan thinking why am I getting rid of this lovely old girl. Any way on the way back up on my 11 plate GTR I could see a fitter young filly, more fun,sexier and pleasing to the eye.
Thinking about a different exhaust but I don't dislike what's on there, are there any recommendations, and is there any difference in performance if I bother.

Welcome aboard. The Beowulf is popular, lighter, no adjustment necessary and sounds nice, I have kept mine standard as I like rocket launchers.

Oh get a room will you!  :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol: :mfr_lol:

Welcome Martyn, Beowolf, Delkevic and others are all good.
You won't see much if any performance gain but it will look and sound better.
Couple it wth an ECU reflash and you can see big gains in midrange torque and some top end too, not that she needs it, unless yer a Busa/ZZR level power junkie.
