Didn't really need anymore power- didn't use what it had anyway. I just wanted it too sound a bit better, hence exhaust and intake. Exhaust sounds great, intake a bit of a waste in hindsight but too late to worry about swapping that back.

Had a good trawl through here but any thoughts on how this setup would go for an FG sedan? Work Emotion D9R 19x9.5 +38 245/35 tyres

Been through the exact same dilemma, just did a few more mods so now at 385kw at the wheels. Decided to try good tyres before I stumped for a full set of wheels so put some PSS on the rear and they have made a massive difference. Of course 275 would be even better but its gone from breaking traction at the slightest whiff of throttle to holding pretty well most of the time. I quite like the mk2 F6 wheels in any case.

Massive improvement with the Michelins on the rear, I'm thinking good tyres on the stock rims are as useful as average tyres in 275 for traction. This thing goes hard now, can't imagine the 450kw+ range is like to drive!

Went in for a bit more work this week- Herrod airbox and 4 inch xforce turbo back. Now making about 385kw at the hubs. Exhaust sounds awesome, no drone at all. To be honest airbox seems a bit of a waste now as can't really hear it. As for tyres about to put some Michelin Pilot super sports on. Still running the same tyres as the car has done less than 10,000kms in 2 years, they are still average traction even less now obviously and scary in the wet.

Is anyone running 9" front and back? Would the 265 that the sprint models use fit onto the front? Looking at new wheels and thinking it would be handy to be able to rotate them... Thanks

Thanks guys. As far as modding stock exhaust was thinking centre/ rear muffler removal, if sh*t then can always fit a cat back. If the dump makes a bit more noise might try that first, was surprised how much difference changing the cat only made. I'll give Nick a call.

Can anyone recommend a good exhaust shop, preferably NOR? I've changed the cat on mine a while ago but getting bored so looking for a bit more noise. Hoping there is somewhere out there where the guys will tell you straight up whether its worth modding the stock exhaust or actually know some good aftermarket options. Thanks

Any advice as to how these would fit on an FG sedan? And colour wise on an F6 in Petroleum? Thanks Genuine VOLK RAYS TE37 Wheels 19" 5/114.3 + NITTO INVO TYRES

Hi- you're in Perth? Where did you get these from and what tyres you running? Thanks

So I'm thinking I'm going to need better tyres and/or wider rear wheels. Traction control lighting up in 3rd gear, drove in the wet the other day which was actually scary in a fun way. What you would do with more rwhp on stock size tyres I don't know. Its got Federal 595 on there which I thought were a decent tyre, what is everyone else using?

I have the boxes they are SSL, slightly lower than I was expecting particularly the front. Happy with the look though, glad I didn't go SSSL rear think that would have been too low IMO

Found this thread useful when picking my springs, this is on SSL all around with Bilstein shocks. Only just fitted so will probably settle a touch lower.

Couple pics. Amazed at how deeper the exhaust sounds with just a cat, also more intake with higher boost and alu pipes as mentioned. Very happy with gains for the $$.

Just had the call from Monsta Torque- 356kw from their stage 1 package plus high flow cat and PW stage 2 stealth cooler. Picking up this avo so mildly excited to say the least, was a lot more than I was expecting and possibly too much as now I'm worried about breaking tail shafts, etc. Stock run was around 280kw. Dyno sheet on their FB page, not sure how to post up here.

Or consider Bilsteins with lowered Kings springs, quality set-up just without the adjust-ability. I've had coilovers on 2 previous cars and pretty much never adjusted them from day one so the adjust-ability benefit is questionable. Bilstein and King package was under $2k fitted and a huge improvement.

Not sure if this at allowed but I bought a $495 tint a car voucher at a fundraiser that I don't actually need now, keen to move it on. Make me an offer if any interest.

Yes they are still on there, thought they were sold but guy hasn't collected yet, message me if interested

Ha ha these are mine that I think you're talking about, and I was the one who bought the F6 shocks for my G6E. Since sold the G6E and bought an F6, but swapped the suspension out of the F6 for Bilsteins. The F6 were definitely lower than the G6E shocks, about 15-20mm I think, plus my G6E had done nearly 100,000kms so I noticed a big increase in performance probably because the old shocks were worn out. If you can do it yourself then its a worthwhile change as the labour is what kills you normally.

I've done some searching but can't find anything, is there a thread kicking around with various youtube videos or whatever of exhausts or exhaust mods on F6's/XR6's? Is it possible to get a decent exhaust note out of the turbo 6?

I think with the injectors there is just a greater margin of safety. And as much as I say I'm not doing any more mods, past experience with other cars tells me I'll do more not because I need more power but because modifying cars is a habit that's hard to break. I'd need injectors then anyway.

Message me price and details please. Booked into Monsta Torque after ringing them, you are right about the email thing. PW stage 2 cooler, high flow cat and full stage 1, they tell me with more boost and new cat noise improves a lot anyway. Haven't bothered with exhaust as I'm guessing they still sound average and not after huge power, barely get a chance to go full gas as it is. Will post a pic and results once done.

Ok so this has been done to death I know, have emailed local tuners but they are a bit vague. Planning these basic mods for my 2012 F6, anything I'm missing? PW stage 1 stepped cooler- shop suggested changing piping, which if I'm going to do may as well change entire cooler. PW street airbox- purely for a bit more intake noise, I think turboside will be too much noise. Any better suggestions? Intake muffler delete- is this worth it? High flow cat Then obviously tune. I'm guessing injectors will be up to them, don't have a specific number in mind just doing the basic stuff for the easiest gains but maintaining reliability.

So I went to the spoiler shop to have a DJR bobtail fitted to my F6 but it doesn't cover the holes from the middle strut on the F6 spoiler! Poor bloke had already painted it up, he kept it though as I did specify what car it was for. So is there a lip type spoiler that actually covers all the F6 holes? And if you want a cheap bobtail in Petroleum colour give him a call...
