So, I decided to pop into the local performance dyno place today. The main mechanic there didn't know what a B4 was and how it worked. Was just getting quotes on a possible catback for the new year. Doubt I'll ever be going back there.

I would suggest going elsewhere.

He looked at the motor and was like. 'HMMMM', then proceeded to make it seem like a super expensive exercise to weld up a catback. I was happier with another exhaust shops response, so might end up going there to do it - he did want me to go the whole system turboback for silly money. Had a vague idea of what it was, but again, no real experience with them. The only place I have been recommended is CnJ Performance but they are southside.

$1200 for catback, if I bring the muffler, I had to hold back the laughter. Other quote was $550, about $850 with a muffler at an exhaust specific shop. I have an xforce mp02 I picked up cheap, whether or not I use it is another story. Also they always assume I am chasing power gains when all I really want is a bit of growl

Thanks mate, just ordered a Fiesta for $800.



Why is my older sister so dependant on her younger brother? She costs me about 2 large, without fail, every Christmas.

Flights/food/accomm/now car rental for some reason/presents so she doesn't feel embarrassed.

If all you want is growl just put a diff back on there.

I got this as well. They went one step further and treated me as if i knew nothing and continued to press that i wouldn't get much out of them (which i already knew because i had done my research)

Once i explained all i wanted was noise they said "Put a cannon on it". Which im still tossing up about.

[Brett]

Yep second hand sports muff ftw if all you want is a bit of noise.
Mine cost me $50 and some carefully placed strikes witha rubber mallet to fit.

Of course being an N/ A 2.5 it now sounds like a Honda.

NO CANNON.

@Nik - did you try bayswater hire? I'm pretty sure their corollas are half that price.

I am considering using the MP02 as a diffback, a couple guys on ozlib have done this with a decent note to it. I was just satisfying my curiousity and my suspicions of the mechanics in the area were right. Unless its a Falcodore or something basic they get a bit quesy, my mate had similar trouble with his WRX when it had a knock sensor fail.

I don't want a cannon at all. Exactly right, they all have this look on their face like, 'I cbf with this'.

[Ren-dog]

No cannon? Ok then i will leave it with a leak from the front instead.

No cars left! They were nice though!

Also, just got UPGRADED to a Commodore.

Just gotta wait for my account to get unlocked so i can post/pm >.>

Those are the same ones I have. I thought they were a great suspension setup. Not too harsh, but stiff enough to minimize body roll.

[Ren-dog]

WANT THEM NAO!!! rofl.... I created the account this morning, been waiting for it to unlock so i can post to buy stuff lol.
