yeah i wanna hear bushido's exhaust in person

Also, RPW headers on the site costs under $500 without the coating, now do i really need the coating ? or can i use another method which could be just as effective ?

Also looking for a high flow metal cat, i can recall ben saying that he can get a decent one for under $300 from another thread, was that good ?

EDIT:
Hey is this a good cat ? its an awesome deal that i just stumbled upon: http://www.pcpa.com.au/index.php?main_p ... ucts_id=75

Or these:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/XFORCE-HIGH-FLOW ... 45f1cee118

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/METAL-CATALYTIC- ... 1c0fec28c6

Theyr all 200cell, but just wanted to check which one has better quality.

Ok, so back to this topic for a bit, i am going to put in hurricane headers + high flow cat in after my coilovers.

Now question is, how is this going to affect fuel economy ? seeing my intake/exhaust upgrade will now be complete? does anyone know if they got better mileage? in my view, it would since the engine would now work less for the same moving power since there is less restriction and more efficiency. What say you ?

Thats almost right. Most of the time you will see better fuel economy. Wont be a huge amount though.

Best economy is gained by properly tuning those things in with a piggyback.

Or get a 6A13tt like me & get 250 kays a tank :lol:

Thats expensive for a piggyback install & tune :?

Go order a Haltech Interceptor cheap from the US, we'll give you the wiring diagrams, then dump Aza or Dwaynes tune on it, go down to a shop with a dyno & get the tune tidied up.

Less than $800 I reckon.

Dstocks and I got our interceptors new for $600approx delivered.
Install and tune was aprox $600, but now that would cost less as we have a bass map to start with. so now you just have to tweek the map to fit your cars mods.
