Benny Member 1,869 Member For: 21y 5m 21d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle Posted 14/02/10 01:48 AM Share Posted 14/02/10 01:48 AM With the budget set and it being N/A then intake, tune and exhaust is the best option. I think with those mods you'll see around 250rwkw.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly way more that 250rwkw, most of the Boss 260s with those mods are pulling up to 245 Edited 14/02/10 03:05 AM by 5lYBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he want a sweet exhaust have a look at BJC he has a clip on the twin turbo 8 in xtreme ford Edited 14/02/10 04:11 AM by tray_182005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was without additional tuning though so I may have gained some torque back in tuning and alot more up top with bigger injectors also but for something under 350rwkw I dont think it would be worth it unless you had a kenne bell or similar positive displacement setup.These are the only photos I could find of my 3in exhaust however this is virtually indentical to my old system apart from it was 2.5in and was press bent.Resonators are a must if its straight through!
