the main reason i didnt go 55 boxes was the loss of the center cover. the 55 are bigger and flow better but i need looks as well as performance. netting 341 rwhp im satisfied with the setup and will be using maxbore to enlarge the t/b to 77 mm in the near future. with some exhaust mods coming im hoping for 350 rwhp with another retune from tony.
Hmmm i saw an install inwhich the center cover was refitted to work with minimal effort and a little bit of cleverness. Look really sweet, soo I wouldnt be so wuick to rule out the 55boxes just for the loss of the center cover.... great idea on the normal 32boxes though, smart thinking.
