The NUT Member 163 Member For: 18y 10m 2d Location: Townsville Posted 03/05/06 12:19 PM Share Posted 03/05/06 12:19 PM Hey guys, I recently receievd the keys to my BA Mk II turbo with the 6 speed box and it has made me one of the happiest motorists on the road! I have admired the T for some time now, but I never thought I would love it this much. Anyways, as my first point of call I thought I would replace the exhaust on it, it just seems like a good starting point to make way for other mods; and am currently looking at the 3" difillipo system and was wondering if anyone already had one of these systems or have heard any reports on them?

The mufflers have been tested as not being greatly restrictive either so you're best off upgrading the cat to a more free-flowing cat and then upgrading either the mufflers or just the centre muffler.This should get you over the 300rwkw mark with other mods so it all depends on how far you wish to go.

I honestly have no idea what its called but he said its similar to the software they use on the LS1's? Anyone have any ideas what this is?
