this is the system I am looking into... I was just looking at some pics on a different site. If I remember correctly they were about $850 for SS.

Id personally recomend just going to any exhaust shop and get them to make you up a 3inch mandrel bent exhaust. its not worth paying so much for "capa or aps" which are very overpriced considering all an exhaust is, is a hollow metal pipe. as long as its mandrel bent a "home made" one is just as good, and alot cheaper.

What is the exact (within reason) performace gain that you get out of replacing the factory twin system?

Is it worth it? Or is the factory exhaust system perfectly suited for car's that are already running an edit and stuff? The only reason I ask is that I see car's happily running the factory exhaust system and getting what I see as extremely good power outputs at the wheels/on the dyno and on the street...

Is it worth the money ($1950 for an off the shelf system) I have been quoted without dump pipe or is my money better spent on an edit and intercooler with a view to upgrading the exhaust when needed?

Confused... I want to make my car quicker but aren't really sure as to where to put my money to best effect...

Cheers

go the edit and intercooler... you are looking for 240rwkw to 250 rwkw right?? if so your stock exhaust will be more then sufficent (is actually a great exhaust system)... if you want to make it sound better, just remove the centre muffler and replace with mandrel bent centre section and hot dogs... sounds great :nono: and only about $300 :nono:

that's what I have now

Yeah I am looking for 250kw ish at the wheels, maybe a mid to low 13 qtr time in a manual but reliable... I simply don't wanna toast my T5 on my way to work one morning... as you can probably imagine... and I want to sound better... I want it to sound like a jet... no exhaust noise at all... :k24t::nono::nono::nono::nono:

Hi Guys,

If you are interested in the Xforce systems have a look at the following url:

http://www.bestmufflers.com/Information/Cu...yno_Results.htm

These systems were originally developed on my car and we found a definate increase in power....as the dyno sheets on the above url will show.

Id suggest doing a search on some of my posts, as I have posted alot of information about this. Otherwise feel free to PM me for more details.

Regards,

Dean
