Sensor help
What is the yellowtipped sensor, besides the water temp sensor on the front water hose. having a slight issue that with it connected, the revs are high, with them off it drops about 4-500rpm.... but no other changes?

ten year old bmw or merc?

Twin turbo quiet exhaust system
the thing is, im not looking for 'not that loud' as that still means its loud, i want something quiet, so that it doesnt sound like a racecar, and sounds more like a normal car. basically simiar level to the stock system which is very quiet.

Twin turbo quiet exhaust system
currently have a twin turbo Z that i love dearly, but im seeking some advice on how to get a quiet exhaust or which one is the best. currently have japspeed decat downpipe that run into a silencer box, then into a backbox each side with 5 inch exits. ( yes i know they're huge) i do have silencer bungs, which take 80% of the noise away, but with them in i cannot run high boost for safety reasons. (backpressure etc) now i'd like a system that can deliver all the power i need but without the noise, do any of you have one like this? Hoping to change the backboxes only rather than the full system....

Gauges install, what do i need.
Basically, once i know exactly what i need im going to get the drift iriduim gauges from Z centre. Boost gauge Water temp gauge Oil pressure gauge. now other than the instruments themselves, what all else will i need/need to do to get each wired up and working correctly?

Front engine water pipe and hose pressure issue!
Not sure if this is normal, or someone could help me with the issue, but my car is building alot of pressure in the front water hose, so much so that it gets bent out of shape is rock hard and the car overheats, now im not sure if this is normal for the hose to get rock hard. hence this post, now if this is not normal, might it be the thermostat causing both problems? no water leaks, radiator is new, and heater matrix has been bypassed as it began leaking, also there are no kinks in the matrix bypass pipe causing and loss of water cycle.

-
Heater matrix Bypass
i think ive seen them theyre close together and both face the driver correct, looks like a metal pipe with a rubber hose coming off each, basically just remove the rubber hose then connect the metal pipes together with a new rubbber hose? is that right? sorry for being dumb, but there are a few back there and want to make sure i get the correct pipes.
