    CHeck out this page on ABT it has a better description of what the weights are and which model and engine for which abt springs , it may help and do believe it depends on your exact model

    So if it makes your car look better, then great... but don't buy something like that for "performance increases"
    Well i could assume from the information that the exhaust system is a defo upgrade in performance, and if its a vanilla effect with the diffuser so be it, at the end it makes a very plain rear body look that more...special.

    Wonder if they can be ordered/retrofitted? My wife's Peugeot 307 Touring has them. Very hand for some stuff. Especially with a sticky mat on the bottom to stop things sliding.

    If you dont mind, How much did it set you back?
    Does it come in painted rather than carbon fibre? (not a fan of carbon fibre bit tacky, I like the brakelight shroud also but not in carbon)

    Got the rear diffuser in a Black Matte finish (its up to the customer) The exhaust System and rear Diffuser set me back exactly $1890 Installed.

    The item itself will not arrive until March/April due to the fact i wanted cheaper shipment so im waiting until they send a Cargo Trailer overseas to be filled with goodies.

    Its a CB so i would only say i would get around 7-11hp increase with a higher note to the engine. If it was a TBE i would run away as i have heard with turbo spool and the amount the polos run with this little thing may rip the heads off the manifold bolts which would scare the bejesus out of me.

    7-11HP from a Cat back on atiny engine???
    I really doubt that it would be that much of an increase, maybe 1-3hp at most.

    That is the main reason i didn't do the one on the Tig, just wasn't worth it.
