3.2 gt - exhaust system and filter

i have recently purchased a 3.2 v6 gt and have read that a new exhaust system and filter can improve the bhp on the car... i live near durham so can anyone recommend a place to go or make and models of kit required....

i was also thinking of having twin exhausts fitted, have twin pipe on onw side but want system that has twins on both sides?... any advice?

Firstly, spend c£500 of your hard earned on a Q2 diff. Better than chucking it at so "power" mods if you ask me. It seriously transforms the was you can drive the car

Re: 3.2 gt - exhaust system and filter

i'm not a fan of the dual exhaust 'look', but i know this is subjective. perhaps check the off-the-shelf options from brands like Ragazzon and CSC. they are fairly expensive, but you may consider them good-enough value. pics of them will also give an idea of how a custom exhaust could be designed.

for fitment, a small part of the chassis where the toe-hook would normally attach (righthand side) needs to be cut away, and of course you lose the use of the toe-hook. this is fine for 99.9% of people i would expect.

i must say, i've not read much about significant power hikes with intake/exhaust mods - what are the figures? mostly about a change in 'look' and 'sound'. i'm pretty sure the GT does not suffer from the 'restrictive' catalytic converters like the brera/159/spider, but i'm no expert in this regard. not sure how 'complete' an exhaust you are considering. a full SuperSprint system would be awesome; so too a number of japanese systems. but they are so expensive. a simple backbox change is unlikely to make any difference to bhp.

i can vouch for the Q2 diff too. was a priority for me and very happy with the improvement.
