Ah, ah, have a wicked summer bud, let me know how that straight pipe treats ya! Cheers!
Rest assured, if I thought it would help I would send my muffler straight to Ethiopia! But until I am sure, it stays on the van. As far as functionality goes, even if there is no power change the exhaust serves the purpose of dissipating the exhaust heat from the turbo a lot faster. So there is an up side, and its cheap to do. However, it is REALLY loud and bassy. Just giving you a heads up, it is a drastic change. But I think its mean and cool sounding.
On another note, what wheels have you decided to get, and what are you going to skin them with. And then even more importantly, are you going to truck up to Williams Lake for our veggie install weekend on the 7th of July?

I mean you never know... no one is ever to old for a good jostle through the mud in a Delica. Besides if she had to put up with raising you then I bet she would keep us all on our toes. Maybe she could help with the veggie install?
