wow! thats looks so good mate, gotta get back to looking at calmini kits for sure.. it was only the other day i was looking at the superior engineering kits

 

[mannnick]

i would stay away from superior...had so many dramas with them...absolutley usless.... They source there calmini kit from caloffroad so you are better off going through them!
just my 2 cents

 

[mannnick]

Bit of an update....tunit chip and 3" exhaust have been purchased
couple more pics of girth

 

[gunning1987]

You'll love the the 3" exhaust remove the muffler and her the awesome exhaust note Haha

 

[mannnick]

hahaha.....yeah i am looking forward to fitting it up

 

[Passage GT]

are there many gains to be had by fitting a bigger exhaust?
my understanding was the original is a decent size already, however removing the cat and a muffler would no doubt help flow a fair bit.

 

[mannnick]

well a 3" from what i have read is perfect. I have a mate who will take the muffler and cat out so i can have a strait through 3"

we will soon see haha

 

[gunning1987]

i believe that with a opened up 2.5"-3.0" exhaust with intercooler and chip you will get close to 180kw at the wheels, but could be wrong.

 

[mannnick]

haha yeah not a bad gain at all.....any ideas on the best intercoolers on the market?

 

[ST88VO]

Dude this thing looks sooo tough now!

As for the exhaust, ive got a full 3" straight through from turbo to tip with no mufflers/cat and mandrel bend dump pipe honestly i think it made no power gains at all But it looks good and sounds bullshit good along with cold air intake haha. As for the 180kw, im just gonna say I highly doubt it... Mines got 3" exhaust, diesel smart chip and boost controller running 23psi and it definatly doesn't have 180kw.

Whats next on the mods list for this rig?? I love it

[mannnick]

Fitted my tunit chip, cranked it to setting 9 and the car is amazing, makes so much difference, now let's see what the exhaust does

 

[Nakkers]

Be interested to see how much your fuel economy changes, on a side note does any one regret getting a black Nav by way of keeping the paint looking good. I always heard black was the worst to keep clean!

I dunno what KW mine is, havn't had it on a dyno. But It goes well, but not 180kw well haha. What front bar you going for? And yeah i bet that black paint is gonna suck to keep glowing like it is now!!! haha

 

[RTFABWORX]

thats so tuff makes me want bigger lift and tyres, nice stance.

 

[Jason.R]

5" calmini and a 2" tough dog lift dude

Do you need the 2" lift as well or can the calmini 5" be bolted straight in?
