Remember that noise != power :wink:

My car is very loud too, but I will build new exhaust that flows well and is still quite quiet, nothing is more bitter surprise than silent flash, when it comes to traffic light eliminators.

Mine has one tiny at middle and backbox is such type that if I look from one end I can see trough it from another side, it does not restric flow, but also not much restriction of sound, impossible to drive 400km in it without ear plugs.

One reasons why I need full new exhaust.

It was to be excepted that diff or some other driveline component will fail, you pushing something between 160-180hp with healthy amount of torque?

I don't remember if your diff is welded or not, but if not, then it can be those small gears in diff that give up in such situation. That diff does not like from wheel spinning without welding it. After welding it, there are more places that will fail, shaft between box and diff, gears of that shaft, transmission main shaft, happens also at 3rd gear that box case start to deform under stress and axles moves inside box, front of gearbox there is that clamp which fails if bolts of it become loose which they tend to do sometime, driveshafts can also fail, some VW Transporter joints were compatible if I don't remember wrong.

Easiest way to get something broken is spin wheels at high revs and hit small bump which suddenly increases grip, there is lot of inertia and even strong part can fail, remember weight adds to grip quite lot so when car body comes down or ground up, there is chance to get thing broken, but xtrmjks knows all this already, I believe :D

Have you managed to test tensioner spring yet?
