Yeah, i think my cruddy strobe came from supercheap or repco. The other one I have that doesn't work is a half decent one, but it doesn't work. Been meaning to have a good look at it to figure out what is wrong.

Yeah, It's a Ford. 🙁 It was an emergency purchased car that ended up being a lot more permanent than I'd intended.

Is it weird that I would love to completely silence the exhaust on the van? I love hearing the mechanicals at work. Funny thing is whenever the exhaust ends up in one of its leaky states if I plug up the tip, the engine idles along fine blowing all the gasses silently out the leaks. But of course above idle it'd blast whatever it was out of the way. Usually one of my thongs if that's what I was wearing on my feet.

On the flipside, I love the sound of tuned extractors too. Most OEM exhausts, or badly made ones irritate me greatly. Currently mine sounds like a sick diesel. As much as I wish they had made a variant of their aircooled boxers in diesel, I'm not so hot on having a vehicle that sounds like one when it isn't.

If Rudd comes through with his cheque at the end of the year, I'll probably be using a part of that to get the van on the road. Then we can all go travelling and camping again. Yeah!
If at first you don't succeed. Build, build again.

tristan this is the type4 verion of my thunderbird



that would be a nice all round exhaust
they have a great note and being equal length 4into1 flow really nicely
would also have the same 3 bolt large flange as the mine up the top
mines way quieter than a stock exhaust under normal driving but hit the go pedal and it has a nice bark

but its being drowned out by good ol weber intake roar and straight cut gears whining
the price we pay to go fast...🙄
