There was clearance issues against the block, heat shields and steering. Maybe I was just unlucky.I was extremely disppointed with the cat. It lasted 12 months before it collapsed and had to be gutted. I've heard of plenty of them failing.Considering the price of the SMB gear I expected it to fit a lot better and last a lot longer.

What makes Di Fillipo "all that"? I remember Di Fillipo had some major issues with rubbish mufflers a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a BA MKII XR6 Turbo, performance wise it is still a stocker.I rang a place today to get a price for a full turbo back stainless xforce system. See link below.xForce Exhaust SystemAs you can see the price on the site is $1550.00.I got quoted just under $2800.00 installed for it, which I though was a bit high. The guy said that the best mufflers price is impossible and that is must not be stainless, I checked with best mufflers and it is in fact all stainless.Does anyone have this same setup? what do you think of if? where would you recommend I go to get it fitted and tuned?I am in Melbourne.

I did mine myself though... Edited 02/06/09 11:25 AM by Mr Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
