All indoor dynos typically have those huge fans placed in front of the car. It more accurately simulates air blowing over the body of the car as dyno pulls are typically done in 3rd or 4th gear (when most cars are travelling somewhere between 60-100mph).

Here's the radiator Ben, and it's quite large:



Not the prettiest thing in the world, but the entire front fascia behind the bumper is filled up by it! Looks more than sufficient to me...

This pic also shows those sweet equal length headers.

Thanks chike I figured it would have to be where the condensor is. As for the headers though I'll bet she doesn't sound too good.

Chike.. I just want to say that your SVX is impeccably clean... I have been combing over that pic and I cant see one singly solitary scuff or dent... Im not a big fan of red SVX's but Im def a fan of yours!

Mmm headers.... they look pretty good but yeah i bed a boxer sounds weird with such an open exhaust. WRX's sound bad enough with those big tubes and free flowing systems i can only imagine an H6

Actually most everybody who has heard our louder than love exhaust goes away happy. It simply has nothing but a custom made 2 into 1 magnaflow??? muffler right where the second cat was (no front cats in it) then a straight pipe back. DEFINATELY a boxer growl. Sounds very much like an old brat without anything on it. From my understanding though the equal length headers help with power at the expense of a decent tone.

Yup, I noticed the entire ac system was removed. The fans were also specially fit and this is what he said:

Yup, I definitely love the sound of the Racer's exhaust!

I also think that those equal length headers might really change up the sound of the car. What I'd really like to know if how effective they are. They seem to end around where the engine mounts are located - wonder if they're 30", 33" or maybe 36".

Thanks. She's still dent & ding free to date. Has a few paint chips now, but the body work is perfect!

any guess on how much those headers would run? maybe someone here would be willing to make them

Probably cost around $1000. They might make 10 HP over a good exhaust system based on the OEM exhaust manifolds. Intake cams are $300, and they will likely make at least 15 HP if not more.

I doubt that headers sound much different that the OEM exhaust manifolds. Stock manifolds or headers merging into a single main pipe will both sound like crap though if no effort is made to tame the resonance that occurs by merging the two exhaust paths.

hooooly crap! that is awesome!
