That isn't exhaust. Its a sea monster and its coming to get you.
If this doesn't say, "Hey, check out our shop. We make cool custom stuff." Then I don't know what does.

I think I would want more than the stock oil filter if I was running a 6 rotor...

/\ Thought the same thing about the Oil Filter, I wonder what they are using for Oil Pressure/Oil Pump?

Cooling...Water Pump, how they stop E-Shaft from flexing at high RPM (unless limited to 5K).

How they stop the complete engine from twisting with what looks like OE (or similar) Engine mounting/sub frame.

These are Kiwis doing this - we tend to just do it as best we can then see what the problems arise afterwards rather than try fight non existent issues . Which seems to be the MO of 1/2 this forum.

The real question is, do they need any more coils? Also very disappointed that the wires are red. All that trouble to have everything else blue. Ha!

Sounds pretty much the same as a 4 rotor doesn't it? At least that's what I can get out from listening from my phone

I would say it sounds different from a 4 rotor. It definitely has the signature rotary rasp and high pitched whine. I think the idle is the most interesting part. Looking forward to how it sounds once it's broken in and tuned.

Sounds like a 4rotor on roids.
