    Sorry did not realise it was closed.

    You might want to PM Grajy to see why and he can re open it if needed.

    you need to ask 2xs why 17's! They are for drag racing only. Although the track cars use 17's too. 17's are more ideal as there are a better choice of slick tyres for them than 18's.

    They will be running 18" with the Gen 2 because of the wider rim as std , need to be close to production as possible

    Yeah, the grand prix mps runs 17's. I dont own the new mps. Was going to put 15's on the front so i could stick some real slicks under it but because of the size of the brakes i cant run 15's, so 17's are a better choice, as 16 are near unavailable for slick tyre choices.

    Yeh 17" currently that's why I will be using their 17" rims and oldish tyres for the mean time for track use.

    There's a thread here somewhere about the results after a member did it. Said it made a horrible drone, and no evident power increase.

    well i replaced my rear chamber muffler today with a stainless steel muffler straight through and it sounds better and goes a fraction better. Lots more power in third gear. Not much difference in sound. Still very quiet. People who put a straight through pipe in place of that muffler will have droning problems. Very happy with the upgrade.

    i have posted it already hehe, a good exhaust shop owner will tell you that replacing a muffler that size with a pipe will only cause drone, as mine did. Depends where you go I suppose.

    You can fit 225 tyres sensibly. 235 will fit. Get wider rims for the std tyres, a bigger improvement than fitting wider tyres the the std rims.

    Exhaust with DP, FMIC, SRI and tune is possible. I got 13.06 with that setup (only 206kw at the wheels)
    206kw?? I been told I will only get around 177ish kw with same mods minus the fmic. Dont u have aftermarket manifold too? and injectors?

    PS- Wed 20th Oct Im going in for a mazedit tune at HPF. Will ask for 17psi as i hear its the best psi for these cars with standard turbo. What is the standard turbo? Is it like a T3?
