Sound good JB, money well spent

Does the car feel more responsive with the intake mods you made, the new exhaust on my car has made the car feel more lively?

Macka, from my perspective being a manual I would say yes it has freed it up a bit. More throttle response and a much bigger flutter noise when changing gears, this is more apparent when it gets colder, so I would presume it's doing the job.

From my previous experience with modifying turbo cars is the first criteria is to 'Free up' the car with it's breathing, this is obviously done via exhaust, air intake and similar mods. The T seems to be designed slightly different to the 'Ricers' of this world where ford seemed to have engineered the car, so as to make it harder to get large gains from small modifications, just my 2c.

The exact gains of the induction I am unaware of, I do believe there was one forum member who put their T on a dyno after the mod, and claimed up to a 5kw gain, But I will stand corrected. All I know is that everyone who has performed it in one way or another has been happy with the result. Now it's just down to how much you want to spend and how you want to do it.

Just had my first mod done new exhaust from the cat back by Rob Herrod and I'm very happy with the result, cars sounds better and picked up 14 rwkw.

14rwkw's from just a cat back system?

That sounds impressive! You wouldn't mind posting those dyno graphs would you?

I only have the last Dyno graph to show you I forgot to grab the first one before exhaust was done. I can tell you that the original dyno run produced 170 rwkw which was I thought a little on the low side. I am having converter problems which may have contributed to low result. New trans going in next week that's another story.

Here is the end result hope this works first time attaching image file.

Exhaust cost $800 with dyno before and after.

Has anyone used the BPT intake seems to well constructed $322 + Filter

I take it that this is the mild steel system?

It's $1300 fitted for the Stainless one, supplied and fitted from Herrod.

I highly recommend getting the BPT intake and XR8 filter, it gives you better throttle response and the car seems to rev a lot easier as well.

I'll second that!!

I've done the same thing, except I just glued an 86mm piece of tube into the aircleaner housing instead of the Battens thing - looks more like a factory item.

The guys using the xr8 under headlight induction setup. Are you guys keeping the original airbox from your T and just adding another peice to run to the air box, or are you using the xr8 airbox also?

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question I'm just having trouble picturing what you mean.

Yeh, As I plan to turn the car over every 40,000 km through business I thought I'd go for the mild steel exhaust and put the remainder of $1300 into other mods like intake & piggy back ecu. Can change them onto next car. The Xr8 pod would be a purchase through ford dealer. Yes!!!

I was going to buy the BTP CAI the product seems good they have sent me price list

Intake tube (not needed as you should already have this)

Adapter $50

High flow filter K&N for $145.00 or BMC for $185.00

Pod housing $70.00

Pod lid $25.00

Pod lid strap $25.00

Pod bracket to body $51.00

Pod Rubber Boot $50.00

Pod to throttle body tube and clamps $40.00

Intake tube adapter $10.00

Screws $1.20

TOTAL $322.00 (minus filter)

I think I'll do something like what a lot you guy's have done as you should be able to purchase a lot of this from Ford or make.

What's your thought's I plan to have the Xede done next week would it be best to have CAI done before this or does'nt matter
