Catless downpipes and Tune

Hi guys,
Greetings from Melbourne Australia...

Just thought I would chime in for anyone that is thinking about getting their car a bit quicker than what it is...

Current modifications...
- H&R springs
- 12.5mm spacers all round
- Catless downpipes
- Custom UGP ecu tune
- Max Protect Pro Elite coating

I am loving this car!!! The downpipes and tune have really opened it up...

Hope you guys like the images...

Car looks amazing! 12.5mm spacer for front looks spot on, could you have gone wider at the back?

Yea definitely could've gone wider in the rear.
I'm in two minds though as I really don't want to ruin the paint on the rear guard with a wider spacer.
The tyres will flick up rocks.
But could definitely take a a 15-16mm easily

Thanks for the insight! Could you go with more in fronts as well or you think 12.5 is already the limit?

I'm surprised you did 12.5mm all around. I did 12.5mm rear and 8mm front and those are both flush imo. Car looks great none the less. I'm curious though on your dyno results. What is the Aussie cars rated at, 335 or 382 hp? I'm probably reading the graph wrong, but looks like you are around 380whp with catless and tune and I'd expect much higher.

We did initially get the 335hp models but as of 2020 we are getting the 382hp.

Mine was a 335hp model which according to that is about 295hp at the rear wheels...
So now after the tune it's making around 380hp at the wheels which is around 440hp give or take at the engine...

Sorry I missed your comment earlier.
I wouldn't go any more than 12.5 up front personally. It sits nice and flush

Ah ok then your graph makes a lot more sense to me. I know there's a few technical differences between the 335HP and 382HP engines.

Car looks amazing none the less. Love that silver and wish I could've got one
