the cat-con is removed with the free flow. it shouldnt affect your puc. there are enough cars on tbhp without a cat con that have passed puc. | |

| BHPian  | Tejas, start with a Cold Air Intake from Green/K&N. Get a FFE with custom headers in 4x2x1 tuned for low and mid performance. Get a big mid-muffler for sound control and tune your end can. Else, get a resonator (expansion chamber) in place of mid-muffler - for more torque but prepare for a loud exhaust. Quote:
Your Cat Con will have to go when you get an FFE to get the restrictions out of your way. The PUC readings will not be affected, my OHC's pollution readings are lesser than normal cars. Quote:
Avoid projectors, most people complain of the intensity of light going down, and the OHC does not have a very impressive HL performance anyway. To add to this, the projectors will be retro-fitted, with custom jobs, you never know what you land up with. Oh and 50 profile is correct for 205 size tyres in 15". Guess you got that right already  Last edited by ankitahuja : 24th January 2009 at 14:12. | ||

How much did all this cost [can yuo please provide a break up], and where did you get it done from? I've heard some ridiculous prices being bandied around [not on Team BHP] for an FFE with Custom Headers. Regards, Shekhar | |

I was surprised and very happy to see that you have started getting work done so quick!  Post pictures of the headers and pipes and give the details of the FFE, porting polishing etc. | |

there is a separate thread on FFE prices - i think its called "how much did u pay for your ffe" search over there. typically for OHC - 10-12k including headers Tejas: there was thread on CAI - how effective is it ? - you may want to check that before going for conical-CAI combo.. i think a nice intake extension of the stock filter box with a stock replacement K&N itself would suffice and would save you 3-4k Last edited by narayan : 27th January 2009 at 00:05. | |

I'll post all pics and details once everything is finished... Not getting port polishing done in this phase... Quote:
OT: another funny thing that i have come across while searching threads and making inquiries is that when you talk to a bombay or bangalore based tuner, once you go for a ffe, it generally is taken for granted that headers would be custom and included in the quote. But when i had discussions with the delhi side based guys, it's always mentioned freeflow and headers extra. Any reasons? Last edited by Tejas@perioimpl : 27th January 2009 at 00:26. | |||

Delhi side guys will always say so much for FFe and so much for headers... I just wonder kyon? Anyways, let's not drag this OT more and concentrate on my car... Any OHC owner who has been able to get rid of the annoying squeak of the door panels please tell me how. | |

 I don't know if it's a Delhi thing or not but headers are sometimes mentioned separate since a free flow could also mean just removing the cat con and/or getting bigger diameter mid pipes. And so has this been discussed on the forum as an option as well, if someone does not want to change headers. Guess it's just added to make sure you get the full thing. IMHO - Tuning scene in Bombay and down south is hotter than Delhi, so the full opinion/option is given in parts What squeaks are you talking about? Elaborate please. Edit: I'm sorry I mentioned porting polishing in my last post. I meant throttle body enlargement. Last edited by ankitahuja : 27th January 2009 at 01:19. | |

Dude, A friend of mine in bombay also considers an FFE and Headers as separate and thats where i got the "ridiculous prices being bandied around". In his defence though he's got a Suzuki GSX 1000, so maybe thats why the high price. Shekhar | |
