    Default Need Help Quick, Cheap and Easy Performance Mods

    hey guys

    can u please help me work out wat is the quicket and cheapst way to get more performance out of my vs ute

    at the moment i have pretty much no money, and not a lot of knowledge, but i know this guy who keeps ripping me about my ute, so i want some performance upgrades quick to shut him up

    i was thinking a cold air intake for now, but im not sure how much performance gain that will have

    please help me with this asap, as im sick of this idiot ripping into me about my car, when his has been in a accident, and only has a new exhaust system on it and he automaticly thinks he is gonna be the next v8supercar champ.

    any help would be appriciated

    cheers
    Chris

    no offence man but grab sum balls and just ignore him no point having a full on grafted fight over sumthing where it will cost you money and not him.

    depending on how much you're willing to spend you could go for extractors which might cost around $600 give or take a couple hundred lol, or you could get a new exhaust system with a replacement cat and a performance exhaust, not sure on prices but i got a performance exhaust from cat back for $300, cat will cost more though

    apart from that.

    K&N panel filter
    2 1/2 exhaust with hi flow cat and super turbo mufflers will get you on your way nicely and if you get all done properly id budget about 800
