You'll find that happens with most Euro cars. I heard EBC Greenstuff are less dusty.
Any exhaust shop should be able to do a catback exhaust. 2" with just a resonator, or 2.25" with a sport muffler and res. DONT get a cannon. Springs are around $200 for a set of King Springs Superlows which should make the tyre inline with the guard. They'll need to be installed and a wheel alighment needed. |

Hey mate. Dont get a canon because the Car is neither JAP or asian.
id sujest a 2" cat back with a single muffler at the rear. a nice set of dual tips would look hott. This is my 2" cat back with dual mufflers. and this was Quite compared to the outside! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pjV8GXRTK8 with a single muffler it should be heaps louder!

 : Photn's exhaust was a very sweet sounding setup. So if you want to get something that not only looks NORMAL but sounds good (and if you're lucky maybe a bit of a kick in performance) then get something like what photn had; a proper exhaust system not just an asian muffler bolt on.

my exhaust freed up the revs SO SO much. get a pod on your system or a Cold Air intake. pod probably cheaper. and a cat back exhaust and you will notice an SIGNIFICANT improvement in the car. it wont be no rocket ship, but it will accelerate alot quicker and nicer. a canon will only give you sound. no performance. By the way. the Bonnet/overhead Stripes will cost you about 150-200 installed. And you can get them done at signarama Fairfield. they did mine. great guys and know what they are doing. they have piccies of them doing it. so just go in and ask about the black fiesta with stripes.

Before you do anything with your intake you should go do some massive burnouts in some dirt. It helps the engine*
Don't get a cannon: 1. They make the car sound crap (hollow and fart noise instead of a deep burble) 2. They look crap 3. We'll never talk to you. *it doesn't |

Im smelling a clone, ...... is it a bird, is it a plane, oh no wait its Tinex/motorex with more outlandlish mods. Seriously besides thes mods the thing that makes me laugh is the incompetence of being too lazy to put the airfilter back on... Will be sad to see you put these mods on, then car not going anywhere cause you got a bird stuck in the engine. :togo:
