My Garage Mods

2 people, 2 nights, an afternoon into the night
and some running around to make this mess!
eFans and Underdrive Pulleys
Couldn't have done it without help!
Under-Drive Pulley in!
Fans Mounted
Fan control wiring and mounting
Used the Diablo Predator for its real time diagnostics
to calibrate fan turn on temperatures
All Done! Works great!

RAS Installed

This one needs to be cranked up a bit more

ScanGauge & Prodigy Brake Control

eFans done

AF1 installed

Look at the room!


Slide the filter to the end of the tube as far as possible!

Before Adjustment w/clamp outside box

After Adjustment
Clamp well inside box

With the filter moved farther out on the tube helped reduce the blowing over a bottle top note considerably ...
stopped it from making me cringe!

At certain times though, that nasty note would try to sneak back in (not quite WOT).  So, I pulled everything off and flanged the filter end of the tube (left photo) so that the filter would actually mount on the end.  previously with it tapered in ... tightening of the clamp too close to the end would squeeze the filter right off. I also rounded the sharp edges some on both ends. Also, the rubber elbow had flappers inside from rough molding cast areas that I shaved off. It certainly seems to have cut that bottle note considerably more ... dare I say eliminated that bad note!?


The edge of the tube hugs the filter curve.
Clamp doesn't squeeze the filter off the end.
Allows the clamp area to securely hold on the end.


Tapered off the raw cut edge that was slightly curled in.
Also reduced the ding it shipped with.
The inner sleeve is soft metal like aluminum?
Seems counter productive to stainless heat properties.

One mishap scratch ... jackedg up the hood into the overhead garage door!
Touched up a bit here...


external sound clips w/mic dist. 4' & up some

The quiet Corsa Touring!
Additional clips light1, light2, before AF1

MORE CORSA EXHAUST PICS

A few dollars for a soft sided divider.
Eliminates noise and organizes for more storage!

The red ashtray is a rubber coating to keep noise down!

Stock Plate mount
My cut down Plate mount (More GAP)

Big hole (GAP) really stands out!
So I picked up a Grille Accent Piece ->
A 5 minute clip on install!

Sprayed off finally!

A year and a half and never waxed!
Until now!

Did a cleaner, then a polish and finally a wax.
Wow! A lot of work!

And this might be the first picture of the rear
that shows all the stickers removed!
