Could you stretch to just under £3k & get 490bhp from a Supercharger. Only suggesting this as I had a c.380bhp car & though it was lovely, I knew the chassis was able to cope with much more & I soon got bored/used to the performance. With hindsight etc.

The Sport Pac is worth the money just for the noise!!

New interchangeable box's give you choice on sound and the new oval exit looks fantastic!!

Jackel – had a sports pac fitted last month by greens, love it and excellent service. Make sure you can wait until they have the monaro or Astra VXR courtesy cars available, they sound like fun.

A57 HSV – I believe the deal with LSV does not include exhaust upgrade and may well affect warranty. So personally waiting until the last 12 months of my warranty by which time I should have had the brake upgrade.

Capsy – How come my exhaust is not oval but twin pipes. Also, not that I wanted more noise but seem to be missing extra pipe work you mentioned in your post for straight through.

Sounds like they gave you the old system they took off my car last week.
I have a nice oval can system now.

Did I get that right? the exhaust mod invalidates the warranty?

Aye, car deffo has more punch.

In fact, I out dragged a Scooby today in a 4th at about 70-ish.
We both pulled off the dual cabbageway and he pulled alongside at the lights, tapped his chest and mouthed "respect" to me.

Slash cut left to right and top to bottom as well, I think the Miltec is just oval.
