Wow!

That was quick! Thanks for the video - 6 hp & 14 lb/ft torque is pretty good IMHO. Two questions: is it a DIY install and is there any chance of one with a center exit tailpipe? And of course, how much?

This looks like an easy to install mod that will add some pep to the smart; will be interested to see the mpg figures also.

Thanks again!

OK, no center pipe - too bad but the results speak for themselves. I'll take those increases in output no matter where they are but I think you're on the right track with improving low/mid speed "in town" drivability.

I ordered my Doug Thorley exhaust today! Nick couldn't have been nicer! Now, all I need is my Smart Passion to show up! Thanks to the Forum, I've upgraded the exhaust, purchased a ScanGauge II and custom bracket, Zaino and Ultima cleaning products, floor mats and car cover...now how about that car?

PS. By the time the car shows up, I won't be able to afford it!!!

Are they taking special orders? Don't see it on the website.
