Has anyone noticed that the picture of the street design headers on the RPW site are actually a set of pacemakers???

They are IDENTICAL to the Pacemakers I have sitting on the floor ready to go in tomorrow.

RPW Street Design, will upload a pic of my Pacemakers asap

No No No.... Dave (RPW) will tell you that his super dooper RPW ones are fully custom made and designed by him to unleash a additional 25 wheel kws from a stock magna V6..... and that the pacemaker headers are just copys of theres.. lol

where is the hissing ? from the cat ? they usually purr. lol.
if you do have a leak , its usually accompanied by black soot being left at the site of the leak , making it easier to find.

You are better off with the pacemakers as you will get back up and just to top it all off, the RPW pic was actually stolen from Bain's old Rides thread and were actually his pacemakers....

The hissing noise seems to be going away, or I'm getting used to it, will crawl under on the weekend and see if I can spot any soot..
I still can't get over the power difference.. I think my fuel economy has dropped around town lol..

They seem to be roughly the same cost..
So RPW say they are their design? but they couldn't create their own part number? or is it a coincedence they have the same part number? (PH9370)

Hey people dont bad mouth RPW!!! Their state of the art engineering facility managed to get 14.7 on quarter mile from the following mods

K&N Ram pod air cleaner for MAF sensor
RPW 70mm Oversize throttle body and ported intake manifold
RPW 3-1 Street Design Extractors (This car was used to finalise the fitment of these systems
FSE Fuel pressure regulator kit
Conversion and development off this vehicle of the RPW Cold Air Induction kit for manuals
Fitment of a Unichip piggy back computer system
Replacement of rear muffler with aftermarket unit stock exhaust
Vehicle was taken down the quarter mile strip to produce a 14.7 and is still on record as the quickest N/A magna to date January 2005

All this work to replicate performance of stock ralliart, i mean surely you cant ask for any better!

Funny that, I have Amins car doing that with a stock engine, stock fuel system, no uni chip (has been flashed), stock muffler, stock TB etc etc, and on a damp track.....hmmmmmm

As for being the fastest N/A magna.....crap lol and the biggest difference is that most other Magna's will make multiple runs where the other one mentioned in the above post prob only ever made a single run

from memory RPW used to source (or maybe still do) their exhaust/piping goods from an exhaust shop somewhere in sydney.. once in perth, RPW put their brands on the piping and jacked up the price.. not entirely sure whether this was true or not though
