2) Tanabe Medalion Gfordan (Jpec) catback system. this one's a special production from tanabe japan just for me! usually this item is only sold for the EK4 on the US-market but after some phones they made a special edition with the japanese imprint on it. the middle-pipe is still just for EK4 spec so there is a gap between the cat and first pipe but i knew this before i bought it, it still was the best choice due it's wery silent and street legal over-here also it looks very good, is hightest quality and so on. just the best choice for my project. image when i'ts mounted will follow soon :D

Hehehe I wonder how this mod perfoms! :drive:
 
the compsite-material should have better thermal-blocking attributes than normal fuel rails => Cooler fuel injection => better capacy for O2 => better efficiency of the engine. but i think the effect isnt' really that big as they try to tell you :D
i Think the biggest effect will come from the bigger bore in combination with bigger injectors, but ill first do that when better air-input is done otherwise it won't make a big sense ;)
 
its a new released item and i think im the first in europe who got this :D
 
wow man, what a very detailed thread. I'm pretty sure your ek9 will be awesome. keep the updates coming...
 
got my EK9.Org sticker today and will mount it at the next parts-Update :D
