Being stainless and being the shape that is it( trumpet like) then I think your right. Should resonate at a diff pitch to ally.  |

| Clearance is good Ive kept them as tight up as i can. The rear cross tube on the tunnel brace needs to have an hollow pressed into it to provide clearance for the exhaust flange and then there off to the powder coaters. |

Looks good steve. But its missing something. Something shiney in the air box department.  |

| Just with an air filter and a bigger exhaust gives a little more power and makes the engine more responsive and like you say it sounds the part .... |

That's a good idea to produce a copy of the ARC box, because it is not avaible anymore  . Do you have the dimensions of the filter ?
The strut bars are good too |

Yes that's the one. Ford focus. It doesn't have a step ledge on the filter top and bottom though so i built one inside the box. If you have a problem or don't under stand what i mean let me know and ill post a picture up ... |

Don't worry, I understand, you mean you put one step in the box to set the filter in it, because the filter hasn't got steps |

Hope everything works out on the Air boxes cant wait to get it in there. Crazy they waited a week to tell you they couldnt do it, what kind of Mickey Mouse business are they running!? LoL
I will send an email to your wife for p&p of the air box and front strut
As far as colours go, I was going to go red but I think the blue will suit the car better with the Champagne. Goin to do l.e.d blue under car lights as well.
Steve - Let me know when the Air box is ready, I will probably get the box and front strut brace at the same time. Everything in Blue |
