    Earls stainless steel braided brake lines

    good luck as you will need it. Did you read the Earls instruction? If no why not? If you did, did you understand the part of frequent inspections. Any sign of leak need to have the lines replaced. Earl, Aeroquip, Goodrich, russel etc will NOT refund money much less give you the time of day for...

    5M & 7M Volumetric Efficiency

    only way to get ve is to put the motor alone on a break dyno. PERIOD. Anything else is guessing. btw 4 valve motors might have that high a VE but add a turbo and the VE willd rop significantly.

    Blitz exhaust

    I think MelloYellow said it best. The NUR is mind numbing, sound engulfing TOO loud. Meaning that for long drives you best have ear muffs and even that won't help as the drone is under the 100hz mark.
