The guy goes to me (as my car was on the hoist) nice care mate.. im like thanks.. he said does it go as good as they say? I think to myself.. ummm isnt that an XR6 Turbo Ute? (had the turbo badge on the back) he say's nah mate.. just bought the turbo badges from spare parts for $26.. he said i get so many looks and people come up to me and say wow mate awesome turbo car.. I laughed so much.. then he had the nerve to ask me why i didnt put a XR8 bonnet on my car.. i looked at him and said.. "because i dont want it to try and be something its not" and he shutup :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that much louder then the original.. just a bit deeper.. im sure it is under the db rating..They also changed the air filter with a K&N Performance Filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet. You'd think Ford would be more careful about who they sold Turbo badges too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
