I haven't seen a volumex in years, Abarth used them on supercharged Fiat's and Lancia's back in the day. Thanks for the post! Very Happy

Any idea where they are still available these days?

@ katherine23 & jeff denham,

It was installed only a few weeks ago,
but the first test runs are very hopegiving.

And the sound it produces is really awesome Cool

But it still can use some extra finetuning,
because at present, it still gobbles too much fuel, (but improving).

Then we'll have to find out if it's reliable for the next 1000 miles,
we'll know a lot more after the summer season.

I dig the supercharger; always cool to see somebody think outside of the box.

I don't dig the exhaust. Sometimes it's necessary to do a lot of thinking INSIDE of the box and just stay there.

I was looking at that. Looks like square stock, or something. Confused
