Hi Motorex (same writing, same question - but with intro!)

As I mentioned in another post - the airbox can be removed, or kept there and a pod airfilter installed. There are a few pictures on the site (in other threads) in regards to numerous ways you can go about installing a pod. The bodykit for the WP Fiesta is quite nice - I like it. Expensive though.

Someone else might be able to answer the question about the exhaust - most are custom... but I know nothing about exhausts

Mate, I don't know a great deal on this subject other than that I'm having a killer system installed in my Fez on Tuesday.

With the system going in my car, at this point I'm using the stock cd player. From what 95% of people are telling me though, this will effect the sound quality.

Someone here will sort you out mate. :Reverend:

Welcome to the forums.

There are many ways you can run a sub and amp from the head unit. Mista Fiesta (Damo) is running his by using an amp with high level (speaker wire) inputs and it sounds alright. The other way is to get a singal processor to bring it down to low level input level (Which i beleive sway is using). Both of these are fine but won't sound as good as an aftermarket headunit.

Ive had my headunit changed and it really isn't as big a deal as people think.

I have a Alpine CDA-9827 (Might not be blinging but your gonna have to pay 1g+ for a headunit that will begin to match this one in terms of sound quality).

moe info here
http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=3843

Although now it has a sub and it is getting re-installed very soon for a few reasons.

Sway and Piez I ordered the single din covertion kit from the Uk for my car and will be moving the 6x9's so when it arrives would one of you (or someone else) want my dash so you can fit in a single din unit? Im also moving my 6x9's so the reinforced parcel shelf will be up for grabs as well. If I could get a stock rear shelf for both of these id be happy.
