Rubbish... an exhaust add's power, and it will have not have any adverse effects on the engine life.

really, how much more spirited driving will you do with that exhuast now?

Your car is a daily - you want to turbo it, yet you can't afford to have it off the road?

Do you think the snail crawls on while you're sleeping and tunes itself?

[absolutR]

no as in i can't bear to have it off the road for months coz of rebuilds n what not, tuning i dont consider the car as 'off the road', i also drive a ba falcon so theres no drama for tuning n what not. i just would hate it if i couldnt drive it for ages, nothing to do with couldn't afford to have it off the road for small amounts of times.

if you source all the parts, the bolt on could be done in one weekend and the tune will normally take about 2-5 hrs.

So you could have it in about 2-3days. All about the cash.

I took longer cos i wanted to do some of the work myself and keep costs down.
