Welcome to the site. Your VXR looked good. The wheels on the MPS and that look similar.

The best thing about my VXR was the sound of the 3" cobra exhaust so will be looking to replicate that kind of rumble if i can..... Hi  to  some pics of my lad VXR Racing,know what you mean about the exhaust his running three piece Remus lots of pops and bangs,anyway you'll love the modding options for the mps

Afterall the MPS is 3 years old so i suspect it may have lost a couple of horses, hence why id like to start modding it already lol Want to at least get it stage 1 and then get used to that for a while

Well you have your mod list from me and spamface , let the broke times begin

Many of the mps's make more than stated.

Just a question but can any exhaust mods be done without the need to upgrade anything else?
I'm more than happy with the power etc I'm just disappointed by the noise lol

If you want full noise , you need to go catless all the way from the turbo and probably 3" and a tiny backbox.
So you will need a fuel pump and map.
