A belated New Years greetings to all. For those of you who have gone the whole nine yards with manifold exhaust and ecu flash: how are you finding it?

Hi Meabh
I've got the Clubsport map and Librands manifold, it'a the best improvement i've made to my car.
Power and torque are much better, drivability is much improved and mpg has also gone up

It would be very interesting to see the before and after rolling road figures for these mods if anyone has a set. I like a bit of science versus emotion.

RBW thanks for that, they are appreciable gains you have and well worthwhile I would say.

Agree, significant gains but only to be appreciated if you are happy and able to thrash around at 4000 rpm+. Easy enough on the track but less so on the average traffic infested highway. Those people, (and there are many) looking for more low down grunt and may well be disappointed?

Personally I think there is plenty of low down grunt for normal driving, but others may of course have a different opinion, it would be interesting to see what other owners think  The upgrades have made the car a lot easier to drive in traffic, the 3000 rpm flatspot does not show up on the road, the reluctance when trying to pull away from stationary has alos gone as well. MPG has increased from around 24 (at best!) to around 35.

The exhaust change alone marked a distinct improvement in low down torque. Mine had the standard exhaust, and RBWs graph 'before' is with the Librands system.
The flash then transformed the whole feel right from tickover, with a significant increase in mpg.
So the benefits over the standard set up are well worth it.

That mpg increase is impressive in as much that the standard was pretty dire by modern engine standards - well into Trad Plus 8 3.9Ltr territory. For that reason alone the man maths is making sense all round, enjoy the miles.
