XR6_Nick Member 2 Member For: 13y 10m 26d Gender: Male Posted 18/02/11 04:01 AM Share Posted 18/02/11 04:01 AM Hi Everyone,Im new to this forum and for the last 4 years I had a 99 VT Berlina, Last weekend I went out and bought a 09 FG XR6 and absolutely love it...I know im comparing an older Expensive Daewoo to a newer Ford but the overall quality is so much better.Im not really going to mod my new car, Im happy with it stock.Ive ordered the LEDs for the front headlights like the Audis, Making the interior light blue and I want to get an exhaust (Does that void ford warranty?) and any suggestions for exhausts are welcomed.Thanks!Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cheaper option is just to remove the center muffler for a deeper note but that is really a personal choice as some people think it sounds like a tractor.Have a good look around the forums and you should get some more detailed answers then mine.

k31th less WHY; more WOT Site Developer 29,126 Member For: 16y 9m Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 18/02/11 05:37 AM Share Posted 18/02/11 05:37 AM Very nice looking car mate, you will love it. Not sure he will need a turbo back exhaust as it certainly doesn't look like an xr6t it looks n/a to me, and the p-plates give it away. But to my knowledge an exhaust does not void warranty, especially on a simple flow and a/f ratio falcon naturally aspirated. Enjoy coming over to the better side of life.
