What Gearbox?If I were you, I'd do;Cat - $400Injectors - $600Fuel Pump - $300DBA's - $500 (I dont know how much they cost, so I'll go with you )Flash tune and Box - $1,500 approx (Give or take a little)I wouldn't worry about the upgraded muffler mate....That's $3,300 for the above mods. If you're in a BA, you may need to do the valve springs as well mate, and your gearbox may need upgrading as well, depending on what it is...Hope that helps mate,Cheers,Dan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56934-powaaa/#findComment-864290 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could even get hotdogs put in where the rear muffler is if you want better sound on the cheap...Other than that, get a cat-back or a turbo back system. That's the only answer.

John- Member 87 Member For: 16y 6m 11d Posted 21/04/09 10:11 AM Author Share Posted 21/04/09 10:11 AM ok cheers,I have a BA 04 xr6t, wit the 4spd, I dont wanna hit 300rwkw cuz that's when u need the new gearbox and around that you need valve springs to so that's why im aiming for 280ish,I was thinking I could hit 280 with injectors,pump and a tune.... But I really wanted better sound,Should I get a cat back exhaust to maybe? What sort of one should I get to make it sound hektic... lol cheers.

I really like the sound to be honest. Sounds like a quiet v8 at rest then roars when you stomp the loud pedal.Probably much of a muchness with cat-backs though...
