biscuit Posted 20, August 2017 Report Share Posted 20, August 2017 Hello, A long search for a fun car is over thanks to Tim from whom I bought 'Uma' a couple of weeks ago. About to tick over 90K km and very well looked after by previous owners, including rebuilt suspension and steering (Renotech). So much fun to drive my wife on the way home from purchase from the far south coast on the twisty parts said I was grinning like an idiot. It came with some mods Quaife LSD Cook Sport Springs Short shift gear selector Lightweight flywheel Fastchip Stage 1 Remap New clutch 4 new Pilot Sport 4s Now it has to have an exhaust to make it sound fast(er) - has anyone bought the K-TEC 3 inch cat back or is the Milltek OK? Is there much difference with a turbo back (high fow cat)? And maybe an intake. Again any recommendations? The standard stereo needs to go as I'm old and listen to AM - there seems to be a UK mob on eBay that sells all the bits including the steering wheel controller. Anyone done this? Thanks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biscuit Posted 20, August 2017 Author Report Share Posted 20, August 2017 Oh no I've posted this too man times, upon submitting the site kept saying 'can't handle request'. So sorry and I hope a moderator deletes 7 of these! Looks like the other noob with the blue 250 did the same... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SacreBleu Posted 21, August 2017 Report Share Posted 21, August 2017 Yep. Same message and same egg on face... Nice car! Drove a few 225's before settling on mine and loved them - just couldn't find any in the condition I wanted!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamstrung Posted 23, August 2017 Report Share Posted 23, August 2017 Welcome! Exhausts - here are your options for noise: - Cut the back-box out if you haven't already (you get to keep the whistle and get a nice deep sound with some pops and bangs) - cheapest option - Milltek - good compromise between nice sound and not attracting unwanted attention - Ktec 3" - have not heard in person but others have it and swear by it - note the system is made by Piper - Ktec 2.75" - is the Milltek system with a smaller muffler, loudest of the lot. I have this, sounds beans but is quite loud in the car on overrun For performance you will definitely want a turbo-back, pricy though.

biscuit Posted 24, August 2017 Author Report Share Posted 24, August 2017 Thanks for the welcomes and advice! Renotech did the 90K km service today and and gave me quite a bit of history about the car and apparently there is a thread on here about the mods that I will have to track down. Julian and Miles are great. Drove back home on the old Pacific Highway for the joy. I think to properly help drain the bank balance I'll have to go from turbo back exhaust after holding the 3inch down pipe with sports cat. A big job to get the old one out! Maybe in time for the next service in 6 months. Now to searching these threads for head unit and speaker options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
