    Hi OpelAus!

    Just realised i hadn't posted here yet. Hello all. I'm Aaron - just got my 2007 Astra SRi-T around 6 months ago and still loving it.

    Am in a bit of a sticky situation though, I'm getting used to the power of the car and am starting to think i want some more grunt and noise (thinking i should have paid extra for a VXR) so I'm considering what to do as i have 3 years Holden certified warranty, so I'm contemplating whether to begin the mod journey or to hold out for a while.

    After reading through some really great posts on the site, I've pretty much decided that I'm going to put on a K&N Apollo for some noise because it looks relatively easy to do and to take off when i need to service it (so i don't void warranty). But I'm still undecided whether to go further than that or not and just void the Holden certified warranty.

    Would be great to hear what you guys think I should do and also what modifications you guys have done to your cars.

    -Aaron.

    Welcome to the site mate! It's always a call whether to mod or keep your warranty. Even in a vxr you get used to the power quickly and get the modding bug Click here to enlarge
