Xr6 N/a Cheap Mods.

[mybanez]

Hey guys,

So about two months ago I bought a BA XR6 N/A, I'm loving it for a first car but I just want a couple extra KWs.

All I want to know is what would be the most effective way to get a touch extra out of it without spending all my cash ( I don't want to spend over $3500 though I could go to $5000).

I've heard that just a new air filter and a good tune up can give me 10 to 20 extra kilowatts. Is there anything to back this up or is this just someone talking out their arse?

I understand that a new exhaust could add a bit but I hate the noise, I like my car to look and sound good. Are there any exhaust systems out there that wont change the sound to poorly? You know, I don't want a straight six that sounds like an 8 with a hole in the muffler.

So yeah recommend me some good mods that will add a bit without emptying my wallet.

Look up member 'dazzler'..he has an na atm that flies, extensive amount of mods and weight reduction. Not sure but he may have a build thread on here. Worth it to have a look anyway

I'm definitely not willing to take it that far, just looking for decent exhaust and extractors as well as some other cheap mods.

Thanks anyway mate.

Under 4k. This is what my brothers doing (well close to) will have it tuned soon.

Brands? Should I bother with a full system or just headers and cat? Ratio of diff gears? KW like to get out of it?

I would do it with my brother because he's a 3rd year apprentice mechanic, but sadly he's in jail.

Any other suggestions

For headers, pacemakers. Or research Genie, I've herd these are cheap but dont know how they flow.

For diff, 4.11s. Or territory 4.10s but there not LSD.

It's not a lot of labour, tuning is the dearest part. Leave the tune till last.

Or wait till your brother gets out, and get him To steal all the parts.

Hey man thanks for the advice! I'm just wondering if this is good for a daily driver? Because you're talking about times when I just want a daily driver with a bit of go.
