Get yourself an AEM Intake or Carbonio. You can find s/h ones on vortex shipped to AUS for under $200 and they are definately worthwhile as it will look a lot neater and fit a lot better.

otherwise you have what everyone is mentioning, exhaust (milltek), you can also get head/cam work as well amongst other things... it'll sound as a vr6 with an exhaust!

bugracer on here is probably the most knowledgable when it comes to these engines imo.

5x100 and 35 offset would be perfect, however finding that offset in a NICE/DECENT aftermarket wheel is near impossible. Most are 38-42 these days.

Yeah those rims are nice. They look bigger than 17's. I was so confused reading that reply.

I got quoted $650 for custom exhaust, full stainless, res back with twin tips and full custom polished stainless rear muffler.

yer they are 18's....i got factory 17's on it now which someone wants to buy.....make sense lol sorry for the confussion.....$650? really where did you get that quote? sound like a plan

**nashan** · 14-12-2007, 04:29 PM

Yeah i didnt think it was too bad. The 2.8 4motions come stock with a 2.5 inch so didnt feel i needed to go cat back and neither did the exhaust fitter(surprisingly). If yours is similar to mine you'll find the exhaust is squashed between the res and rear muffler for some reason. And i got that quote at Cromer exhaust in Syd so prob a little far for you.
