Of course its worth doing a less restrictive exhaust. HOWEVER they arent cheap (1.2-3K) and you just cant run an exhaust to get more power. You need to tune the car to make sure you wont run into any major problems like detonation etc etc. So a 2K TBE actually costs you 4K+++ after you do edit, tune, injectors, pump, fmic :( Better off doing other things firstDiff back might give u a stronger note if that's what your after though?2) Wank Value mod IMHO and wont make you go any faster. Probably be better to save your $300. If you really want the sound, I guess try a local meetup and see what others have?3) K&N air filter (RDP had these for $69), DIY extra F6 snorkel (I assume the BA has similiar airbox to BF??) as they help in the breathing process but I doubt you'd notice it on the bum dyno! Still its an important mod. Could do under $120Edit is probably the best start though. You will feel an improvement as it allows you to run a couple of "better" tunes with more boost. Custom tunes in the future for when you start playing with FMICs, injectors, fuel pumps, bigger turbo etc :D$495 from KPM and CV at the moment! Bit more expensive than an airfilter BUT results will be better! Edited 04/02/08 02:29 AM by Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can remove the centre muffler and replace with hot dogs or straight through pipes2/Standard BOV is fine as it does it's job and legally3/Best mod you can do is an edit and custom tune- check sponsors forum for detailsAs Senna said do a search and have a read there is loads of info These guys do excellent work on rims.

seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel. Lifetime Members 5,368 Member For: 19y 8m 5d Gender: Male Location: The 8th Dimension Posted 04/02/08 08:11 AM Share Posted 04/02/08 08:11 AM The stock exhaust is good to 350kw ,the cat is the restriction in the system and should be change out at approx 260kw +, plenty of other things to play with before you need to touch the exhaust.The Edit or stuffing around with the computer as you put it, is intrinsic with modding turbo falcons, gone are the days of tuning with a screwdriver.
