Need Help Deciding: Wheels Or Full Exhaust W/ No Tune

[Paulie2256]

No one is really reading the not loosing warranty bit.

+1 for spending the coin on suspension.

$4k on that would be sweet

In regards to the question I prefer the TSW but it depends what colour car you have. If you ask nicely some guys on here are awesome at photoshopping so post a pic of your car and someone might be able to give you an idea of how they'll look on the car.

Ps. if you PM Worm he has s set of staggered Koya Inox CEO's for sale in 20's. Black with chrome lip. Kind of similar to your second picture so might be worth getting onto him because he normally offloads wheels pretty cheap and they come with good tyres!

Ive had it 3 weeks, so id be stupid to void my warranty before my first service. My FG is Vixen, which was why I was leaning towards the Verde Kaos wheels. Plus I think they look pretty sweet. If, as Bellato pointed out, anyone is decent with photoshop, id appreciate a pic of both sets on an FG 6T.

Mate im looking at a set of wheels as well, similar to your bottom one except with a blue insert, I was looking at getting a chip but am worried because the car is brand new it will void my waranty, I was told by Kloster ford that I could get away with a growler air induction kit and an exhaust but that's about it.., I picked it up on tuesday and havent been out of it yet lol, its my first turbo and just love it...

iwas looking at a set of 19's as I will use the new tyres that came on the car

Yea I spoke to the service manager at Highway Ford in Rutherford and he said as long as it didnt fault anything in the engine I could go for gold in regards to a full exhaust, but I guess theres no point if I dont get it tuned to make proper use of it.

I didnt really consider suspension, so that's a good point, cheers. How about suspension and an XR8 CAI? Think I could get away with that with little drama? Or am I once again looking at a tune to get decent benefit from the CAI?

Since warranty is such a limiting factor I may just have to go wheels and save any performance mods for a couple years down the track. Cheers for your input guys, much appreciated, keep it coming.

Koya Innox look real nice.

I would go rims and tyres and suspension.

Don't risk your warranty unless you're prepared to pay for anything that might go wrong with your engine or driveline.

It probably won't happen but that's the risk you have to accept.

Leave the tune till the warranty is nearly up.

I'd still be careful though, if they want to be carnts they could probly still use your mods against you I.e if you lower it and get cv probs... I dunno but you get the drift.

Wheels, swaybars and shocks probly wouldnt go astray IMO

Maybe try get in contact with the department that approves warranty work, see what that say, as at the end of the day its not up to your dealer.

And get it in writing for proof.

Without a tune performance mods are a pretty much pointless, a CAI for some induction noise a a bees dick gain, remove the centre muffler for a bit more exhaust noise (get with flanges, so it can be returned to stock easy) $4G on suspension and wheels would be very nice..
