Ah I can certainly understand that yearning

The increase of the mass moment of inertia with going larger wheels is certainly a power killer, depending on the wheel chosen

So my opinion of the insulator?? WOW!!! Much better on the low end torque. She pulls hard. My neck hurts. This is well worth the $$$. Good bang for the buck.
Also after driving for 30 mins I popped the hood open touched the intake and it was ice cold. So I love my MACEOLATOR!! |
Ah excellent Mach
Glad to hear that it all went well and that the Vararam and the 25mm MACEOLATOR are compatible

It would be nice to know for future options-Thanks!  |
The material is similar to working with timber (it’s not timer) so if you can work with timber you won’t have any problems with it

I removed material where the RED is..

This is 100% true! To make life easier, finishing the insulator to suit your engine manifold combination, is easier then finishing your cylinder heads and manifold to suit your insulator.
