there are lots on this subject. Try a search for Town and Country and that will pull up plenty of info. Best approach get it done professionally- its not that expensive. I have heard the experts often say the NA header/ exhausts are very good.

Selective hearing.

To OP, if you haven't already read info to the contrary, then here's just a couple of many threads:
viewtopic.php?f=29&t=53120&p=669071
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=57088

If you can't replace the whole system in one go, then do hi flow cat & cat back initially followed later by headers.

Hi Chris,

I'am pretty sure I saw you yesterday on Quakers Hill Parkway turning out from Nirimba. Car is looking good with the new suspension and roll bar.

re: exhaust, save yourself the time and money and PM Nitrodann. He will knock something up for you that will be effective based on his experience at a competitive price.

Even though I didn't see the drivers face, I thought that was your car haha

I was thinking why were you still rocking the stock daisies even though you have new rims lol

I hope you do realise with a full exhaust (headers & exhaust), you can only expect negligible gains (6-10HP) for the price outlay.

If you ever plan going forced induction, put the funds in an interest account for the future fund for brakes/diff or the other hardware

Best of luck! :beer:

An exhaust for a NA engine would obtain more than the required back pressure compared to an exhaust for forced induction, therefore you will be back at square one investing in a new exhaust in future, that is more free flowing/suitable for FI.

Food for thought...save your pennies if FI is your ultimate goal in modifying your car and do it all properly at once. Just my opinion.
