SUPERCHARGER!!! NICE car mate ..how does it pull with the supercharger?

[Cashaz]

Yeah mate not too bad compared to a NA 3.8l and the LSD 3.45 makes a big diff

[ethann]

Looks the goods man!

[Cashaz]

Thanks mate general qn to anyone with a l67 or a stato or anyone with an idea

what is the best exhaust and extractor set up for fantastic results with a 10psi or above pulley

2.5 inch full exhaust with pacies
3 inch as above
2x 2.5 Inch exhaust

looking for some opinions for good performance and note

cheers

[Cashaz]

Also I have a 6psi pulley not moreso looking for results for a 10psi for later just need an idea for quality result and note

[Haydz]

anything under about 225 rwkw wont need more than 2.5 unless your planning on going mega crazy with the motor. the extra money for a bigger exhaust could be better spent elsewhere.

btw nice car mate. paint looks in good nic

got any interior pics? and info about the custom lighting asr is knocking up for you

[Cashaz]

Ahh sweet, well twin 2.5 pipe with Pacies comp are the go I guess

The paint is actually get a total respray to original colour, some dents here and there and some hail damage.

I can get some it is basic interior Ill take some tomorrow, I cleaned it last weekend too so should be in good nic.

[Cashaz]

For a Laugh today stuck 3750 Halogens headlights and highbeams, my parkers are still the normal yellow non halogen, planning to do a full HID Kit conversion soon 7000k Headlights 8000k highbeams. But for now my repco lights look not that bad, pics soon.

[Cashaz]

Tomorrow on my agenda -

Fitting a Twin Custom made 2.5" Mild Steel exhaust
Fitting 2x Mangaflow 100cpi Cats
Fitting Pacemakers for 3.8 L67
Fitting 2x 2.5" Mufflers
Fitting 2x 2.5" Chrome Tips

It should be ready too boogie around lunch. I'll let you know what a stock 6psi 1544kg+ statesman feels like, I hope I am impressed or else 1650 down the drain.
