Default Performance Upgrade...is it worth it...

Hi Anthony,

I think it makes sense to get them in stages not only because it is easier on the wallet, but because you will be able to see the immediate impact each component has on your car. Here is a breakdown of the prices:

· SS Induction Kit: $395.
· Pacemaker Extractors: $600.
· Hi-flow cat: $280.

The total package price is slightly cheaper because it has less labour costs.

These guys put in my cat-back 2.5 exhaust system, so I know they do good work...are the prices about spot on?

SS kit can be had for $295 and not that hard to fit yourself. Paccies should be around $500 fitted and cat around $150 to $200. A mandrel bent 2.5" redback system should be around $400 to $450 fitted - press bent system for around $300.

So, no, not great prices at all, IMO.
