I don't think it will, they are simple engines. I've never heard of anyone requiring any kind of tuning after changing headers/exhaust and so on. ![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/smile.gif)

I'm sure it will be better than a branch manifold with a crack in it, and even if I don't gain any HP I wont lose any![]()
That is also part of the appeal. It sounds a damn sight faster than it is though, thats the only thing.![]()
Also FM radio is the equivalent of about 96kbps. I won't even mention the possible bitrate of an MP3 file as I'm sure you're aware.
You can estimate the approximate Audio information [1] content of FM by using the bandwidth and dynamic range. FM pretty much tops out at about 15K and the dynamic range is about 70db. Each bit represents approx 6db so we need just under 12 bits and a sampling rate of 30K.
Thus = 12 x 30,000 x 2 (2 channels) = 720Kbps (CD is 1411kbps) that is uncompressed.
1. FM transmission is somewhat more complex than that with carriers and what have you but we are not interested in that level of accuracy.
What's being done?
If you tell a mechanic no rush then he'll most definitely forget about it lol
Work to carry out:
- Replace sump gasket (modern Loctite or similar solution preferred to OEM cork gasket)
- Replace oil and oil filter in conjunction with the above (Supplied)
- Replace control arm ‘Lollipop’ bushes (E36 M3 bushes which are direct fit, part no. 31129064875)
- Replace drop links
- Replace front wheel bearing (Nearside)
- Repair brake pipes where they are heavily corroded incl. fluid renew
- Replace fuel filter (Supplied)
- Investigate clutch issue whereby bite point sometimes drops right to the bottom of the pedal travel where it is usually high up (pumping the clutch rectifies this) – Possibly clutch slave cylinder? Rectify and renew clutch fluid which appears to be contaminated.
- Investigate issue where brake pad thickness warning is always illuminated. Suspected that brake pads without wear indicators are fitted. If so, replace brake pads with items with wear indicators. If the wear indicator plugs/wires are missing or damaged on the car itself then please ignore this and leave it as-is for the time being.
- If while the car is apart you notice any wear and tear parts which can be replaced cheaply which are not listed, then please do so if it is reasonable/viable to do so. (If parts available etc)
- Similarly if you notice any items which would benefit from replacement which are more expensive then please give me a ring/text/email using the details above.
