Thanks Erroll, I will leave the exhaust at 2inch and maybe take out the hot dog. Cheers Mark
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/17/05 10:42 am >>> What you have would be fine for the 72 degree cam as that will only run up to around 6200 rpm. If you have a reasonable flowing system 2" is adequate and a little quieter without significant power loss. We went from 2" to 2 1/4" on a similar engine with no improvement at the top end.

I have just finished rebuilding a L20b and was wondering what exhaust configuration i should use, it has a 2 inch at the moment with hot dog in the centre. Should i remove the hot dog and leave it two inch or should i put in a 2 1/4 with just a rear muffler. Engine has ported big valve head, 72cam, 45webers, pacemaker extractors.Any info is greatly appreciated. Cheers Marko http://www.fsae.rmit.edu.au/ You may be interested in these cars i made bits for, look in the photo gallery. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/17/05 8:26 am >>> Bilsteins are still the best performers and also longest life shocks for my money. I have a set of shock on my sunny coupe that have been used on a stanza rally car for two seasons, then converted for road rates on a road stanza. They were then revalved for race use on the shell when it was turned into a club car, then again revalved for road/club level use on the sunny coupe. I originally purchased them in 1984. They may cost more at the start, but they have outlasted many pairs of other shocks. I have Koni sport adjustables and older "D" sport shocks on other cars.
