Good point Paul. It actually now sits just above the engine mount so a bit higher. I just could not be bothered to take another picture and upload it etc etc.

Car getting ready to be setup at Dynotech. When the pre-measurements were done everything was in the Red. Rear toe was out on both sides by alot. Now all Green Straight through pipe/exhaust fitted for testing purposes (Cat will go back on later). More test mods to charger system, made it fully re-circulating to see if it quietens it down and happy to say it does even if it is only by a few decibels (from 86 to 84 with de-cat too). Thanks to Jason (Huggy) for the Focus air filter. Spot the Dyson hose. Will tidy it up over winter.

Bob, do you have the camber adjusters on your wishbones? I dont have them so worrying that when i have mine set up it will take years to complete and cost a fortune! lol. What was the cost for your set up? How is it now with new exhaust pipes? can you hear the exhausts more now? Thanks, Wayne.

I dont have adjusters so it was a real pain for them to set it up but it got done. Cost just over a ton and drives much better now. I think yours is the same a mine so worth doing, it's more important than any power mods. As mine was so out of wack I wore the Rear tyre out, toe was in different direction in both rear wheels, camber was out on 3 if the wheels.
Exhaust sounds much better now and am happy with it.
Bob

That looks very similar to my Jackson kit, we also have the same engine mounts. They were very expensive to import. I'm also running water mix injection, how large is your reservoirs? How long does it last ? Apologies for taking ages to get back to this. Here's the WMI setup. The tank is the black box on the very left. Pump is at the very bottom. Then goes to the solenoid partially hidden by the blue hose and finally into the nozzle via the red line. I started using a 175ml/min nozzle. This improved IATs immensely but the tank would be empty faster than a 20min track session. I also noticed the AFR would drop by a full point. I then moved to the smallest nozzle (which is why you see 2 nozzles on the manifold) of 60ml/min. This only sips the fluid, but IAT rise is still partially present. I finally settled on a 100ml/min nozzle. Gets me through a session and IATs hold very solid. On a hot texas day (100F) i would see 220F IAT without WMI. With it, IATs stay well below 130F (most of the time below 110F).
