its all about when u let that little bit of power out that counts. Ive learen't the hard way now with fewer number of licence points to show for it, Just wait till its on the road throw the 40s on and enjoy yourself. the Red P on your window will insure plenty of RANDOM pull overs so dont go overboard.

Would my car happen to be that escort with 3 onboard??

I assume you mean the original spec exhaust?

If this is correct try exhaling through a straw - not easy is it?

Replace the exhaust with 2" to 2 &1/2" with low restriction muffler and no resonator and let the poor girl breathe.

rekon it would make much of a difference?

ive been given an offer to get a 2&1/4 (i think?) sports exhaust off a mate. might look into that.

theres only ONE thing that stops me from ripping the standard exhaust off. and thats cuz it makes a "fun" little farty sound from the outside.[88] its 1&1/4 inch i think.

not so important on a turbo'd motor,BUT with na's an exhaust is a must

Yes,it will make a absolutely HUGE dfference. You have worked on getting the air in, but with a 1&1/4" exhaust you are stopping the air getting out. You need to remember that an engine is basically an air pump - the better you can get the air in and out the better it will go (up to a point, of course)

If you don't believe me get your mate with the Gemini to block off half his exhaust and you will get an idea of how much difference it makes....

Similar spec (more or less...) to yours with 2" low restriction muffler no resonator and twin 40 idf's -

Sound better than that "fun" little farty sound?

Performance wise she sits up the tailpipe of the 220kw AU XR8s, flashed BF XR6s, etc. in the twisty stuff and up the straits in controlled environments on ford club runs.
