Well im off today for a tow test thought it was a good idea to take wife for a drive on mothers day we are off to Ballarat some very big climbs on the way the best tow test for the change of exhurst system i took the 2 3/4 off as i lost power and back pressure see how it goes now with standed system back on but still have 2 3/4 dump pipe time to get ready ive cooked scrambled eggs for breaky to please her was nice ive done my bit now its back to me and my car
Ok the figures are in now driving to Ballarat from Melbourne its 500 meters above sea level Melbournes at sea level just about so its a decent climb most of the way the Pentland hills 10 ks measured today a realy good climb
Car stayed on 100 2500 reves all the way up ive got my mojo back !!!!!!!!!
On my recent trip to Eldee i got 17s to 20s all the way not happy jan
Today i got 16.5 going there and back 219 ks very happy compaired to last trips made to SA as comparison when van was full where i got 18s fueling up at Arrarat past Ballarat ....
I drove van over a weigh bridge on side of freeway with a small deck.... car first 2500kg with van on it said ...... drove van on 2400kg conected to car but no food clothes barbi or other stuff
I dont care anymore as ive changed many cars and ended up with the same as ive allways had
But very happy with exhurst back to normal egts where good getting to 620 once but backed off a bit to control that most of the time around 450 ....... its got full power and drops to 1800 reves to 100ks as soon as the road flatens out which it dose without van but the road today dosnt happen much as its very hilly there and back now i need to ring exhurst company to say there system is no good for my car and try to do a deal so far had a great Mothers day

Nice work @Bluey, youve inspired to move my filler to the outside on the chassis somewhere
PS you might want to block the old filler, just in case you get pi$$ed and forget you'd moved the mains
Yes easy done theres a plastic fitting that blocks it an end cap more pics tomoz
That filter is only in place when in use i take it off when traveling 2 plastic clips hold it in place up out of the way and neat
Try to.more pics with phone 
this cap will be on when traveling 
same cap goes on filler to block it
Used same water hose no need to cut it just pushed it through floor and ran it to tap the same fitting on the inside of van on the filler now goes on tap it was all so easy and so much better
The saddles i used to clamp tap on are 20mm nylon coated i put 4 or 5 clamps on for it to very strong stainless steel bolts and lock nuts both m5 size best and easyest mod ive eva done should had done it 2 years ago
