I have a Chinese cheapie and magnets will not stick at all to the pipe, but they stick to the flanges. I'm satisfied it wont go rusty while I own it.

If you are ever in need of a laugh check out MRT's prices on Garrett turbo's.

NO CATS can withstand antilag that I know of.....having blown a few cats to bits in the past....my advice: if your running antilag forget the cat and enjoy the flames

Simon, ring Ford and ask for a replacement Garrett GT35/40 (standard turbo for XR6T and F6)...... When i was buying my car i priced up a new engine / turbo (was thinking dumping it into a Capri) and the cost was over 4K for the turbo alone.

nah thats bullshit ford prices.... XR6 turbo is just a big garret with internal gate...


Ford are smoking crack if they think that this XR6 turbo below is worth $4000 plus

Price:$2,350.00


QTY:
select exhaust housing size
other .63 .82 1.06

There is not a turbo around that is worth more than $2500 apart from the ones with billet custom center sections or the ceramic or inconel ball bearing Turbonetic units. Everything else is just overpriced wank

Yer i know, i told the dude behind the counter you can pick them up for $2.6K and he just shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes Suppose we should be thankful they provide a decent hi-po turbo from factory!

When I worked for toyota I got almost cost price on quite a few factory parts.... Kluger mudflaps retail $185 or something... I paid I think $45 for them.

Kluger Grande Retail $62 something plus ondroads.... I paid $49,000 onroad.

Yes but when it comes down to it, even if it doesn't last as long as an $1800 exhaust, you could still buy three china's for the price of one

As most have said, the exhaust isn't exactly a critical piece in the car that will cause integrity issues if it degrades.

has anyone ever had a china spec ss exhaust get a rust hole?

In fact I know some pretty dirty MY95s going round that dont have holes in their mild steal factory exhausts...
