Want a nice stainless exhaust for it and some sort of induction kit, what do people recommend

jetex stainless sounds sweet, i've just stuck sum1 1 on, and a bmc carbon filter are probably te best and most expensive, k&n 57i is a good choce..

Yeah I've heard Jetex and Miltek are both good for the VR6, don't want anything too loud

then avoid anything without the centre box, or a centre box by-pass pipe, it makes em well loud, and it's a load of sh!t about em increasing the power, it actually makes em slower, due to reduced back pressure, get a cat by-pass pipe on it, makes em a bit quicker and picks up loads smoother.... :wink:

What de-cat pipe would you suggest, I've used Magnex on my previous cars and they were always good, but then that was on a Pug

at the end of the day, it's just a straight peice of pipe, so all shud be the same, i got hold of a spare cat and just ripped the guts out of it, does the same job really......
