Title: Looking at exhausts and alloys
Post by: gti999 on July 13, 2015, 06:33:51 pm: hello!

ive been looking at exhausts for a while and im debating between the miltek and the powervalve and turbo back or cat back ive not heard either of them in person which doesnt help either! whats are peoples opinions!

i also have some 17" borbet fs reds atm which came with the car but want some 18s, as the 17s look abit too small or would 19s be better? i like the 3sdm 0.01s and rota grid drifts i havent really seen many alloys that i like and know would go with the car!
what opinions do you guys have and im not going anywhere near replicas!!!!!

I's not the cheapest mate,if you go for the full turbo back with the 200 cell sport cat it cost me just shy of £1500 but that was for a Mk6 R,well worth every penny!
