Daniel. You can have a listen to my exhaust system on the cruise, it will atleast give you an idea of a Phat dump pipe, X-Force mid & Y & TCP mufflers.

X force beats TCP in mid section. 8 or 10" resonator vs 14" for the same price, same grade stainless, same double welded flanges.

Y pipe: X forces is 2.5". If the TCP one is 2.25" then it will be a quiter system but I would be going 2.5" if you want to get up around the 200kwatw. (Stock Y pipe is 2.25")

TCP kills the X force mufflers. TCP's are an extra $150-$200 but worth it hands down. Amazing quality, replicate the STI quads beautifully, Sound even better.

X force do the Varex's but not really worth the $$$.

The STI quads will sound alright Dan. Have a sus in the exhaust thred. A few people have run that set up before. :) you might find them restrictive though when you go trying to make power. They are only slightly less restrictive than the stock GT muffs.

Neat looking pc screen you got there, shame I don't have the know how to rig up a system like that for myself :(


Still not sure what I'll do with the wheels, I really want a more aggressive stance, plus after having similar wheels on my last car I'm over cleaning spokey wheels :x
If you've got the time there's everything you could ever need to know about doing it on different forums, or just copy someone else if you still can't work it out :p

Still trying to get the day off, but yeah I'd love to hear it, thinking if I do it in parts and prefer the TCP mufflers I can just add those on later.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, mufflers I'll worry about a bit later, after the last car which just had sports mufflers (a very nice tone) I'm still enjoying the quiet exhaust!

Bit of an update, had my first track day the other week, awesome fun! Very impressed with how the car went considering it's stock. Enough power and the handling was more than adequate :)

Also finished the screen off (still needs to be touched up). Looks right in place just like I wanted.

Finally, I should have a bit of a DIY rear window spoiler on next week, I'll put up pics if it turns out any good :P

Damned silver... again, it's almost impossible to tell that it's NOT clean from the photo :(

If only red worked like that!!!!!

Haha it's good like that! Haven't cleaned it since the cruise. The only real give away is the wheels which should be silver ;)

Haha ouch Benny :p. That's why I have them opti coated. Brand new again after a quick wash.
They are my track pads though. So they are loud and dirty as all hell. I have low dust/low noise pads for the streets. :).

Dyno numbers are all well and good, but I would like to see a Mallala time to justify all this work you've done :D
