Its awesome you have a Turbo z6 Ek Sedan, With all the options. Thats very cool. I love all the DIY work that you have been doing on it as well.

233WHP isn't bad at all. Plus your torque curve looks really good. :thumb:

yeah thanks man! i have done quite a bit of DIY exhaust on this build, luckily i had a very general shape coming out of the EG but there were a lot of differences in the routing and Downpipe for sure.

i really like the nice flat torque curve that the car has, very fun to drive :thumb:

there is a few things i need to Iron out though:

1.) i need to have the tuner raise my native idle speed because it drops too low and then hunts for it then finds it...shouldn't be too hard.

2.) A/C don't work anymore so i gotta find my leak that i probably put in one of the lines on install... not too bummed because it didn't work so well when i got it and i have all replacement lines from the old EG that i kept :)

but i did this yesterday:
driving down the freeway ( i drive 55 miles a day) a big chunk of shit flew off a semi truck hauling crushed cars that pulled off the freeway and i was boxed in due to traffic:

it smacked my Downpipe really good and broke the braiding all to shit and put a hole in the inner tube...... fucking great
so until i get motivated to take it off, i'm just going to keep running it LOL

well funny you mention that, i was planning on using my old EG arms with my energy bushings but quickly found out they were way too short :lol:

so i ended up using my original EK arms...
