yes i agree, if i would have done my homework better i would have gone another route. they say hindsite is 20/20! lol! but i was assured by a very reputable shop ( nitro daves! ) that the zex box isn't all that bad really. has decent noids that will handle up to a 200hp shot. was going to buy some seperate noids and redo the system, but he said it wasnt nessary till the box takes a dump, lol!

...till the box takes a dump... Not a good scenerio, maybe that'll include a melt down, lol. Anyway, I think it looks really nice. You are about the only one besides myself to use tube 90° on their system. They are so much more efficiant and look great to boot. Good job overall, congrats. You know I used to hate that purple color, however, I just got a Wilson spacer and it has some purple on the burst panels, and it looks actually kind of cool, time will tell if I become a purple advocate, lol.

thanks robert!

from what i understand is the electronics in the box go bad and it quits working all together. no melt down i hope!!! the 90's make it look so much cleaner. being able to run the lines down instead of over everthing. here is a before pic, with the single nozzle set up. looks better now and i hope it hits better to!

Nice clean look. Never heard of a zex box killing a engine when they fail.
