Default hi guys

hi guys

im new here and thought id say hi

i recently (this week) got myself a BA XR8

i am wanting to do some mods, firstly an exhaust, and am wondering what headers are the best. pacemakers were great on my magna and i know they have a new design coming out early this year sometime for the falcons, should i wait?

also what size pipe should i get considering ill be supercharging it sometime this year, id like a single pipe.

i live in belmont south, near charlestown, and wouldnt mind input from the ford community.

Welcome to the site mate.

Difillipo seem to be the go for the boss motors especially if you plan on supercharging it down the track.

I would check out the fpv boss forum for info as there is heaps of threads in regards to mods for the boss motor & work out what you want from the start. It will save you money down the track not replacing things more than once...

Send Josh on here a pm, he is local has a tuff ute & has had 2 blowers on his car (1 vortec & now kenne bell).

Good luck.

im actually getting the new pacemaker 4-1 design "tuned" headers, ive heard theyre very good compared to past pacemakers.

do you know of any good workshops locally that can help with tuning?

there doesnt seem to be much activity on here by newcastle members, is there anywhere else i should be looking?
