New 2016 VXR Owner

[Vex]

Hey guys! Been hunting for a new VXR for sometime and finally picked up a brand new 2016 compliance (2015 build) Astra VXR..

I am looking forward to picking it up and will be my daily.. I just sold my 2011 Lotus Exige for a new 2016 Lotus Exige V6 (once a month toy) and sold my old Evo X and replaced now with the VXR..

I know the Astra VXR is old now but I love the shape ever since I saw the Opel variant and finally jumped on one before they all new stock sell after new launch of the new astras.

This forum doesn't look too active but I hope to learn a bit. All I want is an exhaust so if anyone has advice then let me know :)

Welcome along!! Good list of cars you have there! Any plans for the VXR?

Welcome

Nice list of cars indeed. I believe your exhaust is already of sufficient size to support any further mods. I'd get a shortshifter too but others with an OPC/VXR might have more suggestions.

Welcome to the forum Vex!

Good to see another fellow J VXR owner. I own one in Arden Blue. Absolutely love the car.

As for the exhaust, the standard according to Courtney Motorsport in the U.K. Is good to flow up to 350-400HP. I have deleted the centre resonator. Sounds great. Looking at getting a Stainless Cobra system eventually though with high flow cat. I have a MTech Short shifter due for delivery this week.
