    from Flea bay Motors (USA) $ 196 delivered to my door with USPS. You can buy these in Oz but local online performance shops and retailers usually ask for $320 or so.

    You can also try amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Magnaflow-1458.../dp/B000XQO14W

    But you'd have to check that the seller ships international & ask for a shipping quote (USPS is the most popular - takes approx 2 weeks to Australia from the States).

    It's hard to say given that I don't have the 2 to compare anymore but I still think that the FWD TJ exec would've still been quicker- but then that's the compromise with the AWD. Better traction & handling at the expense of some straight line punch (AWD's bog down too much at launch, even with INVECS II 5 speed Auto) and worse fuel economy also due to greater rolling friction and a porky 130kg weight gain.

    I'd consider a TT6G75 when the rolling stuff becomes more readily available. But for now, I'm considering an RPW inlet manifold, throttle body upgrade & a 98 RON tune with Ralliart ECU reflash.

    Save your $$ & grab a set of ralliart/ 380 cams instead. The cost of the cams plus fitting will probably be similar to the cost of the manifold & will net you far better results. An SKR tune, rather than a Ralliart tune is what you should be chasing as well as it will be a 98 tune.

    Cheers Alscall. I'll check out that option as a first to do.

    GIven this in an AWD, getting a set of adjustable cam sprockets (aka vernier cam gears) would allow you to adjust the power delivery to boost the torque lower down in the rev range. Noticeable (but not dramatic) gains with the stock cams but more effective with the Ralliart/380 cams.

    I ran a vernier setting of +2 with the stock cams, and am running a vernier setting of +4 with Ralliart cams. +3 might be a better vermier setting with the Ralliart cams if you like to rev the engine lots. Fidanza cam gears (search these forums for the part numbers) are popular, and readily available - a fair bit cheaper if you buy from the US though.

    Did a keyword search on the forums for Fidanza but I couldn't find anywhere which listed the part number specific to the 6G74 engine. Checked out their website & it seems that it would either be part # 161001 (3.0 ltr '90-'99 3000GT N/A) or part # 161241 (Eclipse '06 - '07 3.8 Ltr) ??

    Any help on what part number would be appreciated. Cheers.

    *** update *** found the Finanza Cam gears part # 961639 (blue) / 961636 (red)
