Very interested in a definitive response to this also.

Congrats on the new ute mate, they are awesome to drive...Also keep us posted on how you go with the mods, I'm very keen to do practically the same mods to mine down the track, injectors, cooler, cat and tune it all up, so am very interested in how you go with it and the results you achieve.

I'm pretty keen to have my ute (FG '10, auto) lowered soon to. You reckon replacing the leaves instead of resetting them is the way to go? Also for the price pedders are charging the Herrod kit is about the same, and I've only heard good reports about it.

I've just put a dual port kompact one on my FG, I like the pssshhht sound but wouldn't mind experimenting. To get the flutter you put in the washers they provide and set it really hard, is that right?

Cars looks tops mate, argents look awesome on the blue F6's. Good choice using spacers to, pump the wheels out a bit. I'd also like to know if there is a definitive answer to the driveshaft issue with the ute's as I'm looking at lowering mine (2010 FG xr6t ute). I'll probably got he Herrod kit anyway but just want some options.

I own a FG xr6t and my mate just bought a BA xr6t (practically the same as what you're looking at). The interior of the FG is miles better than the BA, more functionality, ergonomic and easier to use and nicer, it should be on a newer car. Also the power delivery in the FG is astonishing, boost comes on early and hard, but you can drive it normally with ease, mainly because of the great ZF. If your not modding it (I'm assuming you won't because it's a family car) then it's a lot better to begin with, and if you do decide to mod it more power is very easy to come by. But mods wise the BF 2 will be better for big power, of that was what you are after. If funds permit I'd get the FG, plus you've already had a b-series why not try something new

I'm in the same situation as you blujein, got a new FG turbo ute and just want a more audible note. Not worried about performance (or voiding warranty) just yet just want a decent note out of it. Heard a few with the centre muffler (and even worse rear muffler) removed, don't like it myself but to each their own. I'll probably look into just replacing both mufflers with hotdogs, shouldn't alter the sound to drastically, just make it louder and hopefully deeper. Anybody done this, had a good/bad result and care to share their story. Also blujein update us when the exhaust is done and how it turned out for you, keen to hear your thoughts

So replacing the stock airbox with an after market one won't require a tune, I was under the impression it did, to handle all the extra air going in. Will it void warranty on anything then, since nothing has been tuned?

I picked up my 2010 FG xr6t, ute, ZF in black for 38k drive away (14km's when I picked it up ) at the start of june. I was pretty happy with that and thought it was a good deal.

So right now it has super lows on the front and reset leaves at the back. Done about 10k in that state, and you carry a lot of stuff around in it? Seems the newer utes may have been 'fixed/altered' and a stronger CV put in.
