Hey
The missus has given me an two options.
1. Get my 3" exhaust for the GU or :
2. Get my ARB/TJM roof rack
what to get? Both are improvements and not a necessity.
Thanks for your thoughts

3. Buy me something
I'd go the zorst. Roof racks are overpriced and incredibly easy to DIY, or even get second hand and modify.

zorst sounds heaps cooler than a roofrack too.

1 increases fuel economy (and power)
1 decreases fuel economy
1 is in use 100% of the time
1 is in use maybe 10% of the time
1 is easy to diy cheaper and better
1 is a pita to do either cheaper or better
1 sounds good
1 makes it so that you can no longer get in to all underground carparks.
1 should be one of the first mods done (assuming its a turbo)
1 is only really useful if you have bulky/light gear
Guess which one I would go for.

Price looks good. Not sure on quality. Lot cheaper than ARB and TJM

$700 is cheaper
Bloody hell.
Mate made one up for his GQ, think its cost him about 200 all up. $150 in steal and $50 to get some one to weld it all up. And it was alot bigger than that one on ebay.

Did you read it?
I'll dumb it down a shade.
Go the exhaust dude.
