I'm not going to buy an full system, so by just change the muffler and decat, does it make it bit louder and deeper? does centre muffler need to be change too? I just hate droning.2 intercooler, is the standard fg factory intercooler good enough for 300rkw? I not going to track the car, but may do some spirit driving around the mountain, do I need to fit an larger intercooler? I thinking of change the pipe only as bigger intercooler may produce more turbo lag? if I must change intercooler, what brand work best? don't want go over my buget too much3 brake pad, I mainly doing street fast driveing, what is the best pad for fg xr6 turbo? is ebc green stuff the best pad I can get? or is there any other brand also good? what rotor I should go with? please give me some brand and link, for rotor, what brand is good? slotted or standard?4 lower springs - is the fg standard spring any good? I mainly after comfort, is there any sport spring provide same factor comfort while improve handling? I going to fit whiteline sway bars . not really going to track the car , so any adivide on changing spring?5 tyres. can the factory fg take 285/35/18 tyres at rear? is eagle f1 the best brand I can buy for normal street driving?I'm total new to mod, so please all you expert guys give me some advice, and anything I'm missing out, please let me know, best thanks to all the help cheers.

Follow that for the engine mods and intercooler advice.Exhaust - go on one of the cruises and have a listen to what they sound like. But basically, small straight thru mufflers mean noise. A cat change will also alter the tone of the exhaust.Tyres + Wheels - same thing. There are some good threads on that. So, a bit of research first - especially if you are spending 10K.

These aren't 4 cylinder turbo cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xforce full exhaust system doesn't drone that much it's a nice tone, so are the other exhausts2. Do a full intercooler system ether process west or plazmaman3. If you going to do brakes you mite aswell get some second hand brembos 4. there are many choices for lowering springs or the full deal with coil overs5. You want grip nitto invos seem to be the choice so far Where are you located? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexual harrassment panda I see a red door and I want to paint it black Donating Members 5,919 Member For: 15y 5m 11d Gender: Male Location: Far north queensland Posted 26/11/13 11:25 AM Share Posted 26/11/13 11:25 AM (edited) cooler and pipe change you must. For 300rwkw the injectors will need to be made bigger, you will be spending around $650 unless buying you second hand.slotted rotors with pads better will be making a big difference, DBA rotors and EBC pads will be a good combo. 285/35/18 will not be fitting on the factory wheels.
