Is only the beginning and can see how you guys get hooked. Cold Air Intake next then Xede or Unichip. leaning towards the Xede hopefully they'll have the start up sorted by then.what's your thought's men!!

Nizpro have the same thoughts about this. They use the standard exhaust until stage 3.Exhaust cost $800 with dyno before and after. I could have got it done cheaper somewhere else maybe? but I drove up asked about it and they said they could do it there on the spot. I love the sound they can get out XR8 & GT's so I though I'd give them ago. BMC filter cost $150The sound seemed a bit droney at around 1500 rpm when I first drove it, you get used to it pretty quick. Just a deaper note than the stock exhaust more than anything. Cruisin along the road at 100 kmh sound is no louder than a stock exhaust can hardly hear it. It sounds great when you open the thottle. Can't sound to much different. Miss's xr6t has been in it since I've had it done and has'nt said anything and she does'nt miss anything like that if you kow what I mean Any suggestions about cold ait intakes.SS IductionHas anyone used the BPT intake seems to well constructed $322 + FilterDo they make any great difference to performance? as some are claiming or would it be better to stick with what I've already got and put money toward ECU upgrade?I know on my dyno test when they change over to the BMC filter it picked up 2 kwSS InductionHas anyone used the BPT intake seems to well constructed $322 + Filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cost me approx $55 plus a K&N filter, does the same job, is hardly visible and is a very good bang for buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Member 56 Member For: 20y 10m 18d Location: Brisbane Posted 01/07/04 02:34 AM Share Posted 01/07/04 02:34 AM I also did the home XR8 under headlight induction mod. Comes up great seems to ad kw's but have not had it on the dyno. It does give some satisfaction because you do it yourself. I am planning to do the ECU upgrade next but not sure which way to go. Am waiting to see what happens with the Scanner/Reflash for BA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
