Default Xforce TBE

Hey guys, I have a 01 Bug eye and am looking a TBE while the cat is dead and I hav to take the system off anyway. Got a quote from RMS that a TBE from them is about 2k installed. But I have read threads having good comments on xforce TBEs.

Read that I can get one for 1.3 k installed. Where would I be able to get that? Also would that be a good choice or should I choose the RMS system?

Should I order it online or can I just walk into a shop and get one?

Gday Sleepy,

For 100 more, you'll get a complete Butler system... MUCH nicer... See under my bug for details. Happy to forward photos/mms. It's truely a work of art up close dude... "Do it once - do it properly".

Brent.

RMS system is a Butler one they just add their cut onto the
price they get them for from Norm.

Just go direct to Norm and save a few hundred it's not hard
as his workshop is only 50m away on the corner.

100buks on top of $1300? or $2k? I dont really want 2 spend 2ks on the exhaust really. But $1400 for a Butler system sounds alright.

Im fairly certain, thinking harder now, it was 1500 actually Sleepy. (Supply only). And fitting... well... thats just a jack, car stands... and 1->2 hours of your time...

I think they are between $1600-1800 fitted from Norm, best to
ring up and just mention PWRX and see what price you get or
even better just go see him.

Word of warning though he's generally pretty grumpy so don't
take it personal haha.
