It took many years for VAG to select the right back box for a stock car!  :wink:
I've seen GTR owners spend thousands on a larger back box and run a rolling road just to loose a few more BHP!

Agreed I'm not too far from where you're aged at, and I have a Magnex 120mm(trying to get rid off) canon on the back of mine  :lipsrsealed:

or custom stainless 76mm 80mm twins would sound nice!
Depends I've used paper filters and they do a good job of not sucking loads of crap into the TB.
I would try and get a direct air feed so you don't suffer too much from heat soak from the engine block more oxygen= better power!

Wouldnt change the look of my standard exhaust, love it. Do fancy a TSR manifold though, if the rest has to change to suit i will be getting a stainless one made up to look the same as standard

Other than a DTM upswept stainless back box, standard is perfectly suited to the car, as jay said.
