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 :D


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 :shock:

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.
