Brings back memories of the old days of super.After a long trip if your tail pipe was that colour ,you knew the A/F ratio was pretty good.

other side LOL both heads feed one big trurbo i just dropped the exhaust at the dump pipe flange just above floor height at the firewall and fitted a new flange with a 90 degree bend on itcan now bolt it on and off and swap the full exhaust on any time we need to sounds pretty mean at idle now and at revs just need to richen up 20kpa decel colomn so it doesnt sound like a dieing bull when you lift off after a rev .been chasing that noise for a while even with an exhaust and checked my VE table and 20kpa colomn is like 17% VE lower than the 30 colomn no wonder the exhaust gas goes cold when the throttle closes after a rev its just pumping air out the pipe LOL
