good choice on the car! Australia is a great place to own a RA. Not sure how close you are to these guys, but there is a place called MRT Performance that has alot of parts and Brett knows everything about the RA. Check them out. They have a website, heres the link, www.MRTPerformance.com.au. They do alot of work on Suburus as well

Mate, I'm also from Brisbane. I got a custom exhaust put in by Pipeworx and a tune done by Chiptorque. Very happy with 170kwaw (in Brisbane summer that is -probably a bit more than that now its nearly winter). PM me for more details.

The consensus on the ClubCJ forums is that MRT are very very expensive for what they are and there are questions that have arisen with regards to whether the factory warranty they offer is worth anything.

Just my 2 cents...

- Thanks for the information, i'll look them up.

Thanks Vincent. I was also looking at pipeworx to get a quote also. In terms of chiptorque, thats down the coast right? I wanted to get their ezy-flash pro for it, but they currently dont have one. (supposedly they'll have one ready later this year... do you know if this is true?)

I'll pm you for more details.


Lastly, i've heard that most of the power gains are from the top end of the exhaust....eg Turbo back, is this true? I've had a few people tell me its not really worth getting a cat back exhaust as you won't gain more HP? If anyone has any experience this, please let me know.

thanks for all your help thus far...

I would definately steer clear of MRT. They promise you the world and deliver nothing. They actually de-tuned my Evo 9 and charged me nearly $3000 for it. There 100% money back gaurantee is all talk as they do not honour it. They are a bigger bunch of tools than the equipment in their workshop
