Either way, its a matter of opinion, and everyone has a right to one.

YTMONT doesn't like them, smiley235 does. Oh well.

that's only cos whatever his name was wouldn't listen to what I was saying.
i understand some people like the t1s, but when it comes down to it, i think an au3 is a better shape and it is more powerful.

NOW you're talkin' EF kid!

I'm glad you've gone off the idea of a Soarer. That would have been dirty.

Methinks that with replacement headers, cat, zorst and an edit ($2,500 max???) you would be into the mid 13's AND you would be lookin' and soundin' awesome while doing it and, as we know, that's a pretty tough ask for you mate :wink:

i think i'd be able to do it just porting the existing heads.
i'm really keen on the au3, just not sure if i have the funds to spare.
