Lightbulb Jockey-shift?

The only thing I could think of is maybe an adjustable rear sway-bar controller. All the ones that I've seen look different tho, maybe he's got some no-name one or something. Hard to say either way...

ya i meant bomex. I saw the crash with my own eyes, at it wasn't bad at all, he just barely it a lightpost, with minor damage, but i guess it was enough to dump the car. I know its a new chassis, but most of the parts are right off the old car.

Its for the exaust. It opens a butterfly in line to let out more pressure and raise the sound level. Apex makes them, MMMM like uncorking the headers look at the APEX page you will understand.

Yea they been putting those on hot rods for awhile. Goes from full exhaust to dumps. Works pretty well.

you can actually have many exhuast shops make them for you, all it is is a cut out and they place where you want it, the manual ones are cheaper the ones with the electric actuators are a little costy but worth it.

Thumbs up Yeah we got 'um.

Only the JIC kit is for noise suppresion, it doesn't allow the exhaust to dump straight to the atmosphere past the header.

But yeah, they sell a nissan kit, a mitsu kit, and a universal. All of them have an 80mm pipe diameter.

For more info contact Chas, by whatever means you prefer.
