Also stock pipes are plastic and have been known to blow at stock powerDo some research through this forum, or ask a few more questions as there is plenty of people that will steer you in the right direction But end of the day it's your choice and your hard earned money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanosk New Member 4 Member For: 9y 7m 20d Posted 14/05/15 07:52 AM Share Posted 14/05/15 07:52 AM Cheers wilko, yeah I thought somebody night mention the intercooler/pipes.. If I can get away with just replacing the pipes I might do that, otherwise splash out a bit more for a new intercooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot of tuners in Melbourne, and few of them have some great reputations on this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
