Cruise Control, Exhaust, Keyless Entry

Post by karahcal »

Hey guys any tips on any of these subjects would be appreciated!
I am Female (haha) and don't have much idea about any of them so I would be getting them installed ..
Should I buy the kits (keyless entry / cruise control) myself first then take them somewhere to be fitted or see what they've got?
& as far as the exhaust goes can someone give advice on what I should have done? Its stock atm.
Cheers!! :)

Cruise and keyless entry will need to be aftermarket. You will need to get the cruise control professionally fitted. With the keyless entry, you can buy simple kits with solenoids and a remote that are easy enough to fit, but it it is going to work in combination with an alarm, again you are probably better off getting it professionally fitted. With the exhaust, you are looking at a 2.5 inch system with a high flow catalytic converter and a decent muffler to suit. You will get more power further down the track if you also source a set of extractors.

Hope this helps. Oh and welcome to the club!

    That is for keyless entry only.
    They don't deal with cruise.
