New pipes

Following the results from the rolling road and after a brief sojourn to the secret workshop, the GT6 came back home with new under car exhaust pipes. The outlet of the 3-1 collector has been made to a larger diameter for a short length before splitting into two pipes for most of the exhaust run and then joining up again to go into the silencer.







Unfortunately I couldn't go out and test it straight away as we noticed another core plug has started leaking and I didn't have any spares to hand. I soon knocked out all four core plugs along the side of the block and as there was a bit of black residue left in the bottom of the block. I flushed the system through and once again after refitting the plugs to make sure I had water flushing through the whole system. Still not quite sure what has caused the core plugs to fail.
The plastic bags are there to try and reduce the amount of water getting poured into the starter motor and exhaust pipes as they were going to be too much of a pain to remove from the car.
