g'day boys and girls,

im new to this so be easy on me... I would like to hear your opinions on modifying the GT and how would you go about it?

thanks,

chris

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the site.

If I get any mods done it will be by Rob Herrod, I am lusting after his Zorst exhaust mod (the note ......the note!! ) but he ain't cheap, but you get to keep your warranty. And maybe his lowering kit. These are for starters :banghead:

thanks for that Redhawk

will the GT encounter the same problem the xr6t has? for example, needing a piggy back computer (eg. unichip) in order to obtain the gains in power and torque?

When I trade my XR8 on a series 2 GT I plan to get the full Herrod exhaust, use the twin cold air intake system with K&N filter that I currently have on my XR8, a set of underdrive pulleys from Battens Performance and a full tune with a Unichip. Should be good for about 330-350kw depending on what the series 2 makes standard and the noise it will make with the exhaust should be sensational. The 12 month wait for the series 2 is going to kill me though.

First of all, drive a GT BEFORE you look at modifications.

The 290kw may be all you need.

If I was going to modify a GT I would naturally look at supercharging.

This is the route I will be going with the Mustang one day!

Hi there. Though I'd drop a line. I've been checking out this website way before I got my XR8 in Sep 03. Great site it is, always enjoy it. What I would like to say is that the XR8 is an awesome machine, the main reason behind that is because it has a Herrod exhaust system. Prior to the exhaust I thought it was quite ordinary (performance wise). Can anyone out there let me know where I can get the induction system for it ? Thanks, and it's good to be back in a Ford again !
