Borla exhaust and cobb ap in Australia
 
Hi Guys,
First post, and this is my first rotary actually:

http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/7/...648/2SeeKU.jpg


Now that l have an 8 l'm just disappointed l didn't buy one sooner! I used to own a Holden Commodore (had the L36 3.6L V6, photo of the beauty here) which reacted surprisingly well to bolt on mods such as CAI, Rollers and extractors. Anyway, now that l'm pretty happy with how it looks, l'm looking at getting some more HP. Firstly, l'm after the Borla exhaust but have been reading some conflicting comments about the sound. Anyone regretting the purchase?

Also, does anyone know where l can buy a cobb ap and get it sent to Australia?

After these two mods, l'm stuck on where to go next. A few people have commented about intakes doing very little besides the noise:

And l've read similar stories about the flywheel doing next to nothing.

Any other NA mods?

EDIT:
Looks like l've found m next mod: Mazsport ignition coil upgade link here for anyone interested. I've done some searching and everyone seem's pretty positive about them...

Thanks for your help guys.

I have the borla exhaust and i love it. I think its the best one out there. Also the warranty is amazing.

Not everyone has been positive about them. Something about having to change the dwell setting. CAI and exhaust are mainly noise. Cobb AP from Mazdamaniac (if you can get one there) and a short shifter from axial flow are two of the best mods. Why not a Hymee exhaust? Those are supposed to be good and you wouldn't have to deal with transpacific shipping.

I'm looking at Hymee too, but the Borla design seems to be closer to stock having one large muffler, not to mention the sound seems to be more unique (not that the audio quality on youtube is anything to go by!).

Thanks for the heads up about the ignition coils too, looks like l'll be doing some more research before l purchase them.
