Max Power 2664 touring car pipe

Max Power 2664 touring car pipe

Max Power in Italy have released their new touring car pipe (EFRA 2664), which now fits perfectly into the Serpent 733. The EFRA 2649 exhaust, which had a long style shape, had a excellent result at the 2009 European Championships, but was too long to fit into the new car from Serpent due to its more forward mounted engine and so the new exhaust solves this issue and yet retains the same characteristics as the longer version.
