    Default good exhaust/tune shop Brisbane

    Hey guys tried the search button didn't find what I'm looking for?
    Only new to modding cars I have an ssv redline ute with a 2.5 inch cat back and growled induction atm. I'm wanting to put full exhaust system on headers + cats maybe an switch out the growler for an otr and get a tune done. Other mods down the track may include small cam but the car needs to remain a daily driver as I use it for work it's already lowered and I have issues with scraping some places so I need headers n cats they wont sit to low. Any one had good experiences in Brisbane where should I go who do I talk to?
    Thanks guys.

    I have had my cam and diff and most recent work done at Hi-Torque. There's a group of about 5 or 6 of us now that run around together all as Hi-Torque cars. Chris and Kent do an awesome job in the customer part and Ash and the boys in the workshop do a great job.

    If the coast is too far then def ring Shaun at Powertorque Brendale. I've had some dealings with him and he is great.

    As for exhaust, I have just had my 2.5' S.S. system replaced with a 3" XFORCE by Alex at Mr Muffler Sumner Park. He is the new owner and is doing some great work already. Mal is still loitering around as well...lol

    I went to Mal at sumner park for my x-force 2.5inch cat back and growler induction and he was a good $400 dearer then others and it's all off the shelf parts. Ended up gettin it done at Scotts rods Ipswich happy with the work but not sure how they'll go with the tune they don't do it in house they send it else where.

    Full KPM 2.5 inch exhaust, OTR and tune on a SSV Redline sportwagon. Paul from Elite is a straight shooter. He tells it like it is and sometimes that isn't what you want to hear. But no bullshit is no bullshit and I appreciate that.

    I spoke to Paul today on the phone. He seems like a real straight shooter and I'm very tempted. His services are more expensive though
    He remembers you. What numbers did your car pull after he was done?
    Paul reckons the last car that he did the mods too that I want pulled 329rwkw. Which is pretty good. That's with a stage 2 cam
