Had to mate it with a 4" cat and 4" exhaust to the centre muffler then 3.5" to the rear all in stainless by SMB. Intercooler how about a 1000 hp Plazmaman job and that intake filter cover looked so nice I had to add one of them too just a shame it hides the K&N ram pod but you can't have everything, well not in one goA TIAL 11 psi blow-off valve was fitted for good measure.Battery moved to boot and all done by Grim Performance in Hornsby.Had two additional transmission coolers fitted to help with the higher power at the tranny.what else? a cold air intake cone where the drivers fog light was, did it myself, also repositioned the fog lights on the bumper and put in mesh grilles .Finally off to MRC for a CAPA flash tuner, FPV spark plugs, 82°C thermostat and voila 330 RWKW. and 750 NM pulling power.Im a happy chappy now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
