Who cares if its too stock on the outside. Stock is cool & simple, beats something with all show and no go. I wish my first car was a VS. Get a good exhaust, xtractors, cold air and a chip under the bonnet

Which insurance company are you with, I am (was) with JustCars & have no limits on mods... as long as they are legal & roadworthy... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Seriously recomend this mod... 2.5" mandrel with Lukey ultra flow went on mine today... sounds very nice indeed. I was told it wouldn't affect any insurance. Lowering will though.

Lowering will though. did you get a resonator with your system? is the system only one muffler? is the exhaust loud? and lastly, any drone? sorry about heaps of questions, i'm just curious.

Welcome pHiLix, Nice car mate esspecially for a first. If you do anythin to it rip off that spoiler, keep it looking clean n mean. To me looks like a sleeper stock on the outside, but totally different story when it comes to the engine... go ECOtech.
