X Force Exhaust 3.5" Or Duel 2.5"
I'm running the mild steel twin 2.5" XForce on my F6, sounds good enough to me with no drone and for the price I payed ($700 new for complete turbo back) I couldn't say no to it. I still haven't fitted the 4" dump and cat section though, so I'm sure when I do that it will be slightly louder than it is now. If I wanted a loud droning *beep* of thing I would've kept my evo x with it 3.25" titanium turbo back..... Fark that thing was loud when ya booted it and droned like a *beep* on the open road.

Yeah I had a unmarked crappadore pull a u turn and then pull me over near muzza bizza (out on mannum road) earlier this arvo.... They just did the usual licence and rego check, breath test and then gave the ole F6 a look over and then proceeded to tell me that they only stopped me cos the car looked nice and shiney and sat great on the road coming towards them plus they wanted to have a bit more of a sticky beak! LOL

Fg Upper Control Arm Bushes
I fitted the nolathane top arm bushes to my F6 and noticed no increase in any NVH at all, in all honesty it sctually seems quieter as well as being more responsive to steering inputs.
