HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 07/11/03 04:31 AM Share Posted 07/11/03 04:31 AM I think you'll find it a close fit .... but why would you want an XR8 exhaust? :lol: True, have you thought about just a cat back 2.5" system.....even that would be an improvement. Better still, go the full hogg, get some headers, hi flow cat/muffler and have the lovely's meeting at the rear with some nice fat chrome tips of doom.

Something has robbed about 20kW after exhaust play and fitting cold air induction + K & N filter. Might give it away for a GT-P, I'm too old to have these sleepless nights anymore.Be very careful when you want to muck with the exhaust.
