Would u recommend us other Turboers make such an investment? And has it voided your waranty? Yes that is the one City Ford manager drives around. They had another Acid Rush car, but that was sold. (also had the exhaust done).The exhaust is perfect, no problems at all.. really like the sound, and performance gain.Would I recommend the investment? Definently. At least if you are going to do one thing to your car get the exhaust done. Sounds so much sweeter, and you do notice the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the metal they look great. I have posted some pics in the tread mentioned above XR6 Pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed slight improvement to bottom end power.. not major though.. just seems quicker over 2000..In regards to experience on turbo's i have none. Im a newbie and this is my first turbo car.

Sorry yes. As for the 20-30% increase that's over normal.. which would work out to be about 50-75kw at the motor... does it feel like you have gained that much more power over the stock exhaust setup?

Ive noticed a substantial difference but not major like mindblowing as in i think 50KW or 70KW would be... if i come down for the drive on the weekend ill let you drive it.. you can see for yourself.
