    You may well find you make your car go better and more economically simply by changing the exhaust. I did that to my D1 300tdi, it certainly gave it more low down torque and the mpg was the same or better. As I was going to do a lot of heavy...

    Also, re the "no one modifies cars"". Well loads do, I for one seemingly never stop doing it, but then I did run a Kit car club and there is little more modded than that except perhaps Rods and Customs.

    You asked if it was crazy. Until you have actually fitted them and driven them you still do not actually "know" the answer to your original question, and I don't remember throwing any insults at you either, maybe you could quote my insults. The...

    I doubt that we'd still be on here if we had thin skins. I can vouch for many on here that they really don't! My logic is pretty sound and you still haven't logically answered my last point! This thread may now be moved to AG as it has gone more...

    if you guys didn't have such thin skins you wouldn't have thrown out so many insults that I have been laughing at. And because I have been laughing at them I don't have a thin skin. Maybe logic is not your strong point.

    Some remain on here an amazingly long time, I could think of a few, but then maybe they just like an argument that they are never going to win, just for the sake of it!

    So is his actual question about getting them, or fitting them, or running with them? Even he doesn't seem to know!!!! I think he is up with a few others though on the "Do I have the thinnest skin on LZ?" question!!!

    No you didn't he hasn't actually fitted it so he didn't answer your question. As I've been pretty friendly and non-dismissive towards you so far in this thread, albeit tinged with a little gentle humour, I think your answer it a little "orff"...

    Time we opened a book on this. My odds on anyone on LZ knowing the answer to this exact question..... 1000 to 1. I reckon 157,213 to 1 assuming only one member knows the answer, and the OP will know one day. Or should that be 157,214 to 2 ❓
