EDIT: Wrong price, my bad.
Chris, Dylan spec exhaust is the same exhaust that ASG is offering you (pretty sure about that)...in fact if you speak to Dylan he will tell you that sean/nic installed his exhaust years back....not really x-force system but looks/sounds very similar.

original x-force system costs around $1.5k...dylan spec $700 or $650 cant remember

may well be bigger on the 2.5L. I'd assume the dump pipes may differ, but the 2.5L exhausts i've glanced at *look* the same, never had one side by side to confirm

hey i just bought one of these exhausts. look great and sound great to. seemed to fit up really easy and comes with all the parts that you need. great option if you are a little short on funds. still if you have the money get something that is a little better quality because the welds are a bit untidy(you dont see them anyway) but is still a great system for bugger all $$$

Thanks mate!

I emailed John @ wheels world yesterday too, I might start with the lowering if I'm unsure about the other stuff! He said i could lower it by about 25 or 40mm

Might go the 40, I'm assuming thats the flatouts. Will have to give him a call to chat about it. Hopefully it will still be legal after a 40mm drop!!

Hi Chris
Here are two pics of my old car to see the difference in drop with WL Flatouts:

Stock ride height (still can't believe they come like that!)


Whiteline Flatout Springs

hey i droped mine 50mm from standard and with the kit and all it is still legal.....just. lol i think you have to have 100mm from the lowest point of your car(correct me if im wrong) so if you are worried about it just measure the lowest piont, subtract how much you want to lower it and see if it is still legal
