TBH this was my thinking on costa d to be fair expensive for an old car.

Hi peeps

I'm after a nice exhaust system to make the 4.6 sound a little more grunty. I've looked about but can't find much. Does anyone know the best setup and best place to get one.

Maybe a forum member has a system for sale.

Cheers Lewis

Cool my we'll be my next purchase then cheers henrym3
