kazuhiko Member 39 Member For: 11y 4m 27d Posted 18/02/14 01:52 AM Share Posted 18/02/14 01:52 AM (edited) Hey guys,Im looking at taking a stab at joing the club and ive been reading up on the mods.Ive always gone intake and exhaust on my turbo cars, im just new to the fords. Ive got a FG xr6t manual and its stock except for XR8 intake/kn air filter and a malwood 3+ clutch and short shift. I want the engine bay to look as factory as possible so im most likely sticking to this intake.Which is the most reccomended turbo back exhaust? ive been looking at xforce and a few others. Just wondering which one is ideal and has the best cat and isnt going to hang real low beneath the car.FMIC - So ive been looking at kits like PW, PWR stepped and the nizpros. Im looking to avoid any cutting of bars and reo etc, which of these brands will keep the temps down the best? or should I get something a bit bigger that will require a little cutting so that I can easily maintain the power?Is bigger injectors necessary? if so, how badly is it going to effect the fuel economy? because im sitting around 11.8 with the occasional boot to the floor at the moment and is it a must on a bigger pump and maybe a surge tank?Will these mods along with a custom tune and probably an actuator spring going to get me there or close enough? I dont want a race car, I want day to day driveability and I tow my roadbike around to track days, so a bit more torque wouldnt hurt.I know opinions get a bit heated around FMIC's and what not, so just some simple opinions appreciated.Joe.

Ive been reading around and opinions vary, you have a great rep ratter so which would you reccomend of the two? or is it a case of same same but different and either will do it.. and will the stepped items be sufficient to keep consistent temps?If I was to cut the front up to fit a bigger unit, can that easily fixed for a RWC or is it long exercise?

High flow cat, actuator, stepped cooler with a decent fuel system will comfortably get you there.
