Amazed at how deeper the exhaust sounds with just a cat, also more intake with higher boost and alu pipes as mentioned. Very happy with gains for the $$. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traction control lighting up in 3rd gear, drove in the wet the other day which was actually scary in a fun way. What you would do with more rwhp on stock size tyres I don't know.Its got Federal 595 on there which I thought were a decent tyre, what is everyone else using? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3bas Member 41 Member For: 10y 4m 16d Gender: Male Location: PERTH Posted 02/02/17 11:32 AM Author Share Posted 02/02/17 11:32 AM Went in for a bit more work this week- Herrod airbox and 4 inch xforce turbo back. Now making about 385kw at the hubs. Exhaust sounds awesome, no drone at all. To be honest airbox seems a bit of a waste now as can't really hear it. As for tyres about to put some Michelin Pilot super sports on. Still running the same tyres as the car has done less than 10,000kms in 2 years, they are still average traction even less now obviously and scary in the wet.

Might even have change if you try hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thing goes hard now, can't imagine the 450kw+ range is like to drive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 3m 6d Posted 31/03/17 11:58 PM Share Posted 31/03/17 11:58 PM curious as to why you went back for more power? My F6 factory warranty has just expired, and I've got a venom cat, jonny tig IC and IMS diff hat to install, will get injectors and tune at monsta torque. I was planning on asking for 2 tunes, one for track (bump up the stock power curve, eliminate the mid range torque dip, keep peak power at around 6krpm), thinking around 310rwkw. Second tune will be whatever they can do, I figured with the bolt ons I'd be looking at 350rwkw and thought that would be plenty mental. Were you not happy with that power? I wanna get this right first time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't even try driving in the rain. Bloody dangerous. Edited 01/04/17 12:07 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wanted it too sound a bit better, hence exhaust and intake. Exhaust sounds great, intake a bit of a waste in hindsight but too late to worry about swapping that back.
