    Don't know mate, a certain 130 I know would only do a genuine 145+km/h on 33.3" muddies, roof rack and rear canopy still in place.
    It sports a full mandrel bent 3" exhaust and the fuel turned right up and that's it, no more to come. Air resistance overcomes power.

    I read many years ago that by fitting a lexan plate on a 30 degree angle on the hood the aerodynamics was improved on the FJ40 and on the 109.
    This plate help the air do not hit the windscreen.
    I guess that would help but perhaps not a great deal.

    Which kind of muffler they fitted with the 3" exaust pipe?

    At the time, none
    It then had an off the shelf resonator I fitted right at the back, and now has a small straight through home made one in the middle too.
    I made my own as I wasn't happy with the internal finish in the off the peg one, and I'm cheap
    It's still too loud, but I live with it.
