Grandpa is holding on strong. It goes in for a big service tomorrow at MEEK, then we'll see if there's any damage :cool:

You went to Newtown? LOL.. Random as, what was at Newtown that made you go there?

Newtown was where my beloved Liberty was attacked by a crazed woman in a Lancer pulling out from the right through traffic haha.. I don't drive through Newtown anymore!

Sorry bad news Dimi. Here's my post in another thread from earlier ;
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
None of the exhausts they had were for our cars.

There IS a Fujitsubo there, but it's for the earlier VR4s (E39 or something ?).

They had a few EVO 6 exhausts on the rack & Chris tried lining it up underneath my car when we hoisted it up but it didn't fit :( Our fuel tanks get in the way. There was an EVO 9 up on the other hoist & we were comparing them. The fuel tank in the EVOs tapers off which allows a straighter exhaust. Looks like ours needs that horrible bend at the back .. unless something can be done about the fuel tank ?

They had the Fujitsubo book & they looked up the systems we can get our hands on. Fujitsubo Legalis Super R was the top of the line, but all of them yea have that nasty hook like the originals...

So .... it close guys but no cigar.. I'll try & remember to take a pic when I pick the car up to show you all. The Fujitsubos though were shrouded in plastic wrap so I don't think they'll come out good in a pic.

Sorry just to sound dumb here ;

When you guys yesterday said that the Fujitsubo exhaust was 'turbo-back', just how far is that ?

I know the 'cat-back' exhausts run back to the catalytic converter, but do the 'turbo-back' exhausts include a cat in them ? I was too ashamed to ask at MEEK :( as I didn't know...

Turbo back, wouldnt that include the dump pipe because they come off the turbo?

I really should attempt looking these up before I post & look like a dick :wanker:

From Wikipedia ;

Turbo-back

Turbo-back (or turbo back) is to the part of the exhaust system from the outlet of a turbocharger to the final vent to open air. Turbo-back systems are generally produced as aftermarket performance systems for cars with turbochargers. Some turbo-back (and header-back) systems replace stock catalytic converters with others having less flow restriction.

would they have 2 pipes into 1 as they're coming off 2 turbos ? none of the exhausts at MEEK had it.

Check with the UK guys for exactly how far back the Legalis goes. I think it is only a catback.

I'll have a better look at their book at MEEK when I go pick up the car tomorrow. There were 3 Fujitsubo systems for the EC5W VR4 :

Legalis

Legalis R

Legalis Super R

From the quick look I had it didn't seem to include a cat in them but I'll double check tomorrow.

MEEK can get them in themselves but they said it was about a month's waiting time.
