I like it and would recommend it (as would many others).Normally if you're chasing power then a Capa Edit + Injectors is the status quo these days and will give you around 300kws (at the fly) depending on the tuner... Lots of info and good ppl on here so welcome and enjoy your T! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've read the standard exhaust is okay up to about 300rwkw and about 350rwkw with a high flow cat. So unless your after very high power figures or more noise/better exhaust note, there's not much point replacing the exhaust.CheersSteve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless your after very high power figures or more noise/better exhaust note, there's not much point replacing the exhaust.CheersSteve<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Regardless of whether the stock exhaust can handle 300+rwkw or not there is still some benefit in changing to a more free flowing exhaust (primarily the cat ) aside from the noise.I changed mine to a 3" single s/s system with a hi-flow cat and definately noticed the difference in the low - mid range without having a retune (customed edit). A more free-flowing exhaust also takes a bit of pressure off your valve springs by all accounts........oh and if I drop something whilst getting out of the car I get to look at my shiny exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just felt more lively and eager to wind up if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got this today:its a "metal-cat" from option1 garage in brisbane. their imported from the states and I believe one of the best cats to use on a xr6t.
