Yer there not that bad on fuel the 220 motors. They are alot of fun to drive & sound great when the exhaust is done. I hardly listen to radio, i love to drive with the windows down & listen to that great V8 sound.

cheers for the link whoosha, came in handy.

yeah they sing, how much roughly do people pay for the exhaust. ive been told twin systems are very costly.

everyone that has been in it, thinks it sounds mean. lol so we came up with some plates that are fairly close to tickford, but still gives it a personal touch so these are the plates we thought of TIKDOFF what do u rekon?

TIKDOFF - great plates! also a good username! Maybe TIKDOFF220?

With exhaust, expect around $800 for extractors, a single 3" is around $600, twin 2.5" around $800, plus cats which can range from $200 to $400 each +++. The standard cats should be Ok to use - just ask the exhaust place to cut them back a bit and weld on new flanges to make the opening 2.5" to match the pipe worrk and collectors.

Awesome stuff.
Doesn't have the momo stuff but it still has the tickford engine cover. Probably easier to find the momo gear than those engine covers.
I think 15k is/was a great price.
tickdoff will cost you $200 to buy & then $200 every year after that. Something with a number will only cost $170, once off and then nothing ever again.
The difference in plate cost alone could go to future mods. Think about it.
TS50 spoilers look the goods.
Enjoy. (you already are) :P

EB5speed contact Complete exhaust on main nth rd blair athol/salisbury east ask for greg he will look after you and give you a decent quote for the exhaust. I have my cars done there and they do a good job. My Sons car (EL I6 Auto) was fitted with cat back 2.5 mandrel bent lukey system for $275 and sounds pretty good. almost sounds like an V8 at idle (wish I had one).

waiting for my exhaust on my AU to stuff up so can have an excuse to get one too (misses says we havent got the money)
