Hi Charles

I had my rear silencer removed. It did help on consumption and perhaps I felt a little improvement in pulling power or it could have been my mind playing tricks :blackeye:

I wonder, Francois from 4xLux designed a new downpipe for the KZ-TE engines which increase the performance dramatically. So I wonder what effect it will have on the 5L .

Afaik 5L is non turbo, so it would have no effect doing the down pipe mod. A free flow would help though for a bit more power.

I would definitely not tamper with the manifold on the 5L
