Default Highly recommended exhaust guy!

Hey fellow members. Dunno if anyone is looking for a good exhaust guy. Well I've found one. A lot of guys would be familiar along Orrong road of Kewdale exhausts (has that old Carline sign still hanging), well i went and saw the guy in there Bruce who has had the business for 25 years but now works on his own.This guy really knows his exhausts and listens to what you want ay. He allows you to sit and watch while he works, while he custom makes your exhaust on site(if you don't have bolt on system).

Well thanks to BXT, i purchased 3 inch turbo back system from him for $350...i went to Bruce and told him to chuck it on my 99 Fozzy. He gave me a new resonator cause the one Bxt gave was stuffed, he installed the full system from turbo to rear muffler for $385.
Complete turbo back 3inch system costed me $735!!! doi!!

Obviously buying parts cheap from fellow member helped but I was more happy with Bruce & his services. and I've saved myself around a grand! hmmm what next!!

You put me on the spot i've never ever thought about the exact definition of doi! hmm maybe it means 'yeah baby' or something like that...don't worry bout the mags just stand underneath your car while on the hoist and enjoy the underside of your car

+1 for Bruce at Carline exhausts.
He welded up a 2.5" diff back to my 3 inch system on my Bugeye and workmanship is great.

A Well recommended exhaust fitter.

Yep, its only going to cost him money for new signage for his business if he does decide to change it.

Starting to think I gave it away too cheap....LOL

Easy power upgrade is swap out the tiny TF035 turbo and drop in a TD04....cheapest upgrade you can do which will transform the GT. If you''ve got a bit more money a VF35 would be even better.

A Cold Air Intake, a better top mount intercooler (maybe something from a 01/02 Rex) and a tune will see some serious performance.

Stubaru is the man to contact as he's a full bottle on all things 99 GT forester.
