| Re: New stuff Y'know, I've always cracked a bit on Hindle for lackluster build quality relative to, say, Akrapovic and the other top shelf pipemakers. I knew they made power and all, but...
In any case, I have to say, it looks like they're doing a really nice job of finishing out their systems. Very pretty.
Where you gonna have the custom map done? (Presumption made that a PCIII is coming along with the system.) |

Where you gonna have the custom map done? (Presumption made that a PCIII is coming along with the system.) | Oh, and Ron Ayers now has a dyno and does custom maps
They said it was $200 which sounds about right. I'll probably just start of with the map from dynojet and go from there.
On first glance, this looks well put together. I decided to save 700 bucks and not buy the akro evo and instead bought a new bicycle  |

Got to have those front row starts!  What classes do you plan on running? MWSS, HWSS, MWSB? |

We'll have to see how Corsas hold up to race conditions as well.  |

We'll see how this works out...  |
