Choose a good downpipe to begin with, and you won't have warranty issues to be concerned about. Something with a cast turbo flange is in my opinion a must for serious circuit work. Catalyst quality being the second most important aspect. Catless takes away the risk/concern with...
Yup, my experience has been positive having had several exhaust components hard lagged for both myself and my customers.
The main advantages are it drastically reduces heat deflection to adjacent components. So in the case of the FL5, it keeps the exhaust heat from travelling to the main...
The lower lip that leads up the intercooler inlet ducting has a larger top surface area leading to a smoother transition to the intercooler itself. Which in theory should force a greater volume of air through the heat exchangers vs rolling around the bottom side of the lip and under the vehicle...
7667rpm is nothing, we regularly get there just downshifting a little early entering a slow turn on the circuit. Get the valve clearances checked and adjusted. Send your next 2-3 engine oil changes out for analysis for abnormal wear materials. If all clear, you can sleep easy.
You'll get a P0219 Engine Overspeed Condition code stored if a proper over rev occurs. And that doesn't necessarily mean the engine has sustained actual damage.
That's right, on Australian 98 octane (equivalent to US 93), the car is more susceptible to overheating. For the type of racing that we take part in, which is time attack events, we are able to run E85 fuel, which solves about 50-60% of the cooling issues. And we don't need cooling capacity...
I disagree, time and time again people have proved they are more interested in buying shiny purple silicone upside down hoses or JDM thermostats than actually paying my shop to rectify their cooling issues.

Fought our asses off to get into the top 5 shootout but a little rain and a premature call to cancel further proceedings robbed us of the chance to show the world what this car can really do on a clear track in optimal...
