nizpro plenums up close.... id rather stock... they are sooooo god damn rough... it costs nizpro about 4-500 to make and get them machined.....
and he aint aiming for extreme power anymore already has enough lol, just wanted it quieter... so while at it put a better exhaust on make it more efficient..

as said , im not going for more power. same power less boost is the aim.
and exhaust was just to damn loud. was mad under boost but was droony while driving.
anywho old exhaust was 3'' dump, 3'' cat, 3'' strait through with 1 muffler.
new one is an x force 4'' dump, 5'' cat, twin 2.5'' with 2 mufflers and stagerd tips. all stainless with polished mufflers.

Looks tough as with the bar off! Still can't believe the size of that cooler. Exhaust looks good. Whats the note like compared to the 3"? Is it much quieter.

as in just the other day.. he has a silver F6 ute..
i think ebay or fordxr6turbo would be the best place to get the brakes.. i've been thinking about getting better ones but would prolly just get the 4pot fronts or bf brakes. Man i hate my BA brakes!
