What will work with the Brammo rear wing kit?

Correction.
It won't work with the MOUNTING KIT on the Brammo wing kit.

But a new bracket would be simple to make.

Does anyone know what goes on inside the Hytech muffler, specifically, are the pipes perforated or slotted or something ? 
I imagine the entry \ inlet tube & exit tubes have perforations throughout their length inside the muffler.

So, some exhaust is bypassing the loop. There's no particular reason for the question beyond curiosity and certainly no crticism. 

EBEck's sounded terrific the other day.

With as much work as Pet's done and the HP it's capable of I'm surprised its not MORE finicky. Peter likely throws a Fifth in the tank every few weeks just to keep it happy as it is his own wee beastie.

that seems like a pretty big deal.  is that an installation problem or something that worked its way out of alignment?

[quote="benyeats"]How do you adjust the valves ?  Is it to do with the VTEC timing / setup or something ?[/quote]

The process requires a special VTEC wrench (a.k.a. a 10mm) and a screwdriver.  ;D  At least it was the intakes and not the exhaust valves!

I also had a leak down test and the valves adjusted amongst other checks. Looks pretty good.  The valves were in dire need of reajustment. Two cylinders had the intake valves open at TDC. We took it out for a quick run and it's just insane. ;D This car never fails to put a smile on my face  :)

I told you when we were in Lake Tahoe trying to start your car that I could hear a compression problem (remember... "Da da deee da da dee").  I bet you pick up at LEAST 40hp if not more!

Wow, and to think I was so close to greatness, and didn't even know it!  I remember is pushing Pete's Atom several times, and then when I was totally exhausted, actually pulling it with my tow truck of an Atom!  The things you'll do for pals.  We had a great ride around the lake that day, which is all I really need to remember.

It's because (in hindsight) they know they just had a whole box full of this (see pict)  opened up on their lazy butt.  ;)

I got my original exhaust muffler fitted to the new setup. It's now fairly quiet and I got the old "Jet" engine noise back that many heard at Atomfest.

The old "Jet" engine noise...

That is one of the single best things about your Atom.  It is unique, almost the best sound I have ever heard a car make, a jet on four wheels, like a summoning battle call to all of us who love power and speed.   As I have said before, I will probably never forget that sound from Atomfest.  Glad to hear you got it back.

Personally I love quiet.. AND fast as lightning.       

CalScot, your car is quiet like an incoming missile.  Anyone who hears it knows to duck and get the hell out of the way because BOOM is about to happen.

Just when I think that I'm being sensible, along comes CalScott and proves to the world that I really am the sensible one.

Way to go CalScott!
