I found a set on ebay for $500. Is that a reasonable price? also how much should the installation costs for these be? And what power gains should I expect?Any opinions and suggestions would be much apreciated!Thanx,Vebbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again the outcome will only be in the region of 10-15kw or so.A good exhaust mod none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake27 Member 92 Member For: 15y 7m 15d Gender: Male Location: Port Macquarie Posted 06/01/09 12:49 PM Share Posted 06/01/09 12:49 PM I got mine from eBay for $439.One place quoted $250 to install - another place quoted $80.Guess where I'm getting it done? I'm also getting a 2.5" stainless steel system with a high flow cat $1200 all up for parts and fitting + $439 for the headers.Will be posting how it goes when it's fitted on Friday providing that these headers hurry up and get delivered!

Ive got a Catback but my CAT is still stock. didnt want to play with it too much becauseof the o2 sensor thing in the BFs. To get pacemakers do I HAVE to upgrade my CAT?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake27 Member 92 Member For: 15y 7m 15d Gender: Male Location: Port Macquarie Posted 11/01/09 05:44 AM Share Posted 11/01/09 05:44 AM You can't replace the cat in the BF because of two o2 sensors that report errors if you change it, my exhaust guy is going to do some custom thing when I take the xr back in this week to get the ph4490's fitted.I think if you get a high flow cat and then flash tune it, then it won't report the error... I've read that a few times on these forums but I'm not 100% sure...I'll check up about that when I'm in at the shop this week because I plan on flash/custom tuning my car once everything's put on.
