Rear End BF GTP Vs BA with QUADS??

BA_BOSS · 07-01-2006, 06:29 AM

Both these cars are already featured elsewhere on this forum.

The GTP was recently featured & the XR8 has since been de-badged and de-spoilered & the owner will recognise along with many forum members.

What I am looking for is an opinion of what looks "TOUGH"

For me, the XR8 as pictured, badges, spoiler and QUAD PIPES is TOUGH. Have never liked the large 3 leg spoiler on he GT,

What do other think? GTP or XR8?

The GT-P without the ironing board wing looks so much more refined than the XR8

Have to agree with the Ironing Board. Still prefer the XR8, looks more Classy and Tough. This is not to take away anything from the GTP performance.

Go the "QUAD" look but get the bigger pipes ( 3 1'2 " ).....like this

Have to agree, looks TOUGH. Have you got any straight on shots of the "A" end. Very nice indeed.....

OK...excuse the quality and yes the car is filthy and so are the pipes....these have a "tappered" look to them and when I polish them ( which will be in about and hour) it looks fantastic.

Brad - looks mad. Luv the look & thanks for the pix. Then the one I attached is your car? I found some time ago, Who did the work for you? I have seen different results but this looks the package. The pipes are almost touching with FA gap between them. This is what I am looking for..

Hi Norm

Yes that photo ( the one in your post ) was taken about 8 months ago....they were 3" pipes with a rolled tip but I then found the 3 1/2 " ones and it just filled the gap nicely.

I will be cleaning the car shortly....I will post up a photo of them cleaned and polished.

The exhaust is a full DiFillipo system ( dual 3") but the tips were put on by D&T in Adelaide......not quite sure who made the tips.Can find out and will let you know.

Cheers

Brad

Mate i have to say, i do a bit of photography as a hobby, that's a really nice shot. I'm getting a twin 3" dual tip put on next weekend, as mine's only an xr6 and would look stupid with quads (unless i'd redone the exhaust of course, which i won't be doing for a while, if at all). Should look nice.

Thanks mate...whilst I would love to take the credit for the shot, it was actually taken by Olympus another forum member.

Heh heh, Yeah and I'm still waiting for my bottle of Makers Mark. :baby bott

rob_liss_lms10 · 07-01-2006, 08:09 AM

the GT for me,it looks the part of a sports car and has menance,the XR8 looks like a mild mannered every day drive with quads.De badge the XR and if you come up behind it you may mistake it for a XT,the XR ba range is not diff enough to base model imo, with the body kit on the BF it may be a little bit better,Ford should have stayed with the more distintive?spelling, head lights of previous yrs.

merlin · 07-01-2006, 08:42 AM

Hmm I like the XR8 quads betterover the GTs outlets but like the GT's bodykit over the XR8. So put those quad round exhausts on the GT!

GT 8888 · 07-01-2006, 09:44 AM

ok....bit cleaner....sorry about the size

Steve · 28-01-2006, 02:50 PM

I can't seem to find them. Anyone know where I can get them from?

FPV8U · 07-01-2006, 09:56 AM

Nice Tips XR8888, personally i like the BF GT better so i would like to see that with Quads before i say what looks better between BA XR8 and BF GT

Deadman · 07-01-2006, 10:03 AM

XR8 rear looks much nicer IMO.

Should have done a poll

GTP looks like a boy racer's car. XR8 looks like it just means business! (emphasis on the MEAN)

HOON69 · 07-01-2006, 10:53 AM

option No1 GT for me ;)

geckoGT · 07-01-2006, 11:58 AM

I have to say the XR does the subtle but tough thing better, especially debadged, but then I might be biased. As for the front, the BA has the toughest front of all the XR's, especially the 8. If you can't tell the difference between an XR and XT there is something wrong with you, IMO

Right you are Gecko.what ever was I thinking,the diff between the XR and the XT rears are quite astounding.

WASP · 07-01-2006, 12:29 PM

I like the quads, have them myself (see below), but I prefer the look of the BF GT-P.

noboss · 07-01-2006, 12:33 PM

Im with you cdaa. I like the BF rear, the 4 pipes look a bit try hard for me..

Unless you've got one of these...

I've seen personalised plates but personalised pipes?

Des · 07-01-2006, 02:18 PM

Quad pipes like Brad's are the business. I'd love to see how they'd go on the BF series though.

Wow!! now thats over the top.

Rapid260 · 07-01-2006, 03:00 PM

i'm with the quads, I think they look great, the rear wing on the GT is a bit big for me, prefere the XR.
