CPR6 manifold is going well since ive had it (2 wks so far) a noticeable difference in power but think to get the most out of it you really need to get it tuned. Cant say how much power i gained after putting it on as i haven't put the car on a dyno yet, should be putting it on a dyno when i get extractors and hi flow cats done tho

Nice ride, I look forward to hearing about your mods as I am never sure what to do to mine.

I love my Adventra. I have a CX6. I have added the additional things to it like Fog Lamps, New touch screen head unit that has inbuilt DVD player GPS Reversing camera bluetooth IPod USB and MP3, rear LCD headrest screens and tyre pressure monitoring system. Not sure what I will do next.

Hope you love your Adventra. Mine's been great.

I've never taken much notice of the Adventra, but your engine photo has me intrigued. What is the lettering on the manifold and what does it mean? My son's VZ Acclaim V6 had the plastic engine covers and your looks completely different.

Hey thanks guys so far. I love my ady they are awesome cars. The lettering no the manifold is cpr6. Its an after market manifold which improves air flow and gives around 25rwhp alone. Ive also taken the engine covers off n radiator cover as well which is why my looks completely different as well as the growler cai. Otherwise its a stock 3.6 alloytec 190 atm

Great looking car, and some nice mods so far!!

How did you find the growler?
Much difference in torque? Economy?
