Replacing the standard exhaust on the Rex. They don't sound right unless they have a decent exhaust on them.....................

Easy mod on a GC8 - did mine today, just took the hoses off the throttle body and looped one of them between the exit and entry points for coolant from the block - throttle body is way cooler now, so must be of benefit. Car doesn't run rough when cold (how could it coolant is still cold then anyway!) so can't see that being an issue. Also one of the best mods because it seems to be effective and its free!

Other best bang for buck would be exhaust and whiteline sway bar/rear hangers and links....
