gday mate are you happy with the manta exhaust i was going to go manta but im not sure.been thinking of heading toward roo system through amms in brisbane.

I am very happy, but note the Manta system does NOT:
1. Have the flexi pipe, and
2. They will not provide it without the mufflers (they do have a no catalytic converter option which I took)

These factors are important because:
1. Stainless steel reportedly cracks (according to some sources, sounds like a warranty claim if it does)
2. Better sound without 2 exhausts.

Just putting these facts out there but again, I am very happy and love the sound of the turbo! Yes it becomes much more noticeable. While I am getting better power , I also have a chip so cannot tell what sort of power, but it is noticeable when I had the chip off recently.

Hope that helps.

Rob, I hear that your fishing trip was a GREAT success? So much so that the choppers were out looking for you!!!






I want to see photos of the following:

• the huge fish you said you caught,
• the stuck photo of your rig so close to the water line,
• the ruined maxtrax,
• the ruined tyre,
• the ruined snatch strap (thanks for the reminder Michael),
• your work collegues laughing at your misfortune.

If you could please oblige, reakon if might be worthy of the stuck photo of the year. Additionally, it will be proof that it doesn't only happen to you when I'm in the lead...


Sorry mate, could not resist the oppertunity to rub it in!!!

Reverse snatch. The snatchor stopped but I had momentum and was not yet on the hard stuff. So I kept going. After 3 hours up to the bash plates in sand I was sick of it. The snatch strap was 20 years old and served me well. Or sghould I say served many others well. Its only since being around that dodgy Matt bloke that people have had the opportunity to snatch me out.

I know where you live....

Photos will make there way to me over the coming days. As long as I'm not crying or messing my pants in them I will post.

Oh, and the power to the back was fantastic. Ran an Engel 40l, Waeco 35l, iPads, iPhones, Lighting and minor other rubbish for 72 hours no problem at all! Although there was some talk that the Engel ate every second stubby as 6 cartons went too fast... Thank goodness red wine, scotch, Barcardi and gin don't need to be chilled.

Nice, try and keep it that way!

Have you had a chance to try the winch with the rope yet?

[MidLifeCrisis Out of control poster! Find all posts View Profile Close MidLifeCrisis]

YES. Had to recover my camper trailer out of very soft sand after I managed to bog it together with my rig. Was a little surprised when fibres came off it?

Just curious, what is it that's attached to your tie down points?
