Ielasi Tuned Efra2185 Factory muffler kit

Ielasi Tuned is pleased to present their up coming new Efra2185 Factory muffler kit that will make its debut at the 1:8 Onroad World Championship in Japan later this month.  The joint system has already existed for some time in the offroad category, where it is used by many other brands, but engine tuner Daniele Ielasi has decided to introduce in onroad so as to have the muffler and manifold all in one piece optimising performance and finally removing the ‘annoying’ exhaust gasket.  The classic 2185 kit (with the two C4 & C5 collectors) will always remain in production but will no longer be made in HD.  HD (Hard Coated) will now only be offered on the Kit2185Factory.  General availability of this new exhaust kit will be mid-late November but pre-orders for the Kit2185Factory be accepted.
