Today while i was at the place getting the exhaust done a White XR6 Ute drove in.. i was like mmm very nice..

Anyway it drove past me past the tailgate and i thought damn finally an XR6 Turbo Ute in the flesh for me anyway.. The guy goes to me (as my car was on the hoist) nice care mate.. im like thanks.. he said does it go as good as they say? :cry:

I think to myself.. ummm isnt that an XR6 Turbo Ute? (had the turbo badge on the back) he say's nah mate.. just bought the turbo badges from spare parts for $26.. he said i get so many looks and people come up to me and say wow mate awesome turbo car..

I laughed so much.. then he had the nerve to ask me why i didnt put a XR8 bonnet on my car.. i looked at him and said.. "because i dont want it to try and be something its not" and he shutup :lol:

How much was the exhaust set up installed? Is it a straight through 3" system? Does it pass the dcb rating?

Straight through 3" cost can't disclose at the moment, will soon thoughl.. Its not that much louder then the original.. just a bit deeper.. im sure it is under the db rating..

They also changed the air filter with a K&N Performance Filter

Heh. I can make people think I have a Turbo for $26? Dude. Sweet. You'd think Ford would be more careful about who they sold Turbo badges too.

Glad they're cheap - hopefully less incentive to rip one off one of our cars!

Then again, some people simply have no respect.

A badge is cheap, the performance and the smiles cost a little more...

Oh dear!!! He's doing himself and Ford no favours! Imagine the shock and disgrace when he gets smoked by a s/c VX/VT S!! (refer Wheels XR6 n/a vs. VY S)

Disgraceful!! He needs a good head slappin!
