I've seen a loss of 30kw on a car just from the gate position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the flange has been placed is no good for exhaust flow, that is asking the exhaust to build up in the rear housing and then do a 90 degree turn back against itself to get out to the gate. It really needs to be flowing in the same direction as the exhaust gases so when the gate opens there is a smooth gas flow back in to the exhaust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try to find a photo of what I think it should be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
