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

planning to do in order:
1. rims, ANZ Matrix 18inch
2. lower it, King Springs Superlows
3. exhaust, 2.5inch mandrel bent cat back exhaust with lukey muffler (probably the ultra flow one) with a dumper tip.
dunno about a resonator, some people says it sounds better without one. need some tips and suggestions about wheather to have a resonator or not, thanks!
4. stereo
as you can see they are not really performance mods, because insurance company won't let me do much under the bonnet anyway =(

lol dunno, they told me specificly that NO EXTRACTORS allowed.
and thats just a pretty small and basic mod.
anything like dropping a blower, changing pistons or injectors they would denfinately tell me to f*ck off.

Cool
Gotta love the matrix rims... Which insurance company are you with, I am (was) with JustCars & have no limits on mods... as long as they are legal & roadworthy...

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.

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.

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.
