Im amazed at how prices have gone up, but with fuel heading up and up i have seen a few VEs VZs ect mostly cammed ect going cheaper than 6 months ago. I can pick up a VT SS , auto, for 5 gran, obviously abit rough but still being used as a daily, has a cammed VN 304 Engine in it, comes with...

Ive looked at a few but most are too far gone and would end up a money pit. When choosing a project type vehicle, which would be the pick, something that could also be of value in the future.

Have been scouting around for a project type vehicle not a bomb but one that needs alittle TLC, unsure exactly what to buy , looked at a few but found to be repaired write-offs and asking way to much for what they are was thinking a earlier 5 litre car like a VN or VT but then parts are getting...

Hi All Wanting to raise my 06 VE SS sedan to legal height im in WA, lowered is a nuisance for everyday car, and like to improve ride quality. Bought car already lowered king SSSL front and rear on standard shocks. I have put stock 19s back on ,took 20s off. What are some options, can put...

Ok thanks

Just wondering if a 2.5 walkinshaw/dpe ve ss ute exhaust will fit a ve ss sedan? Is it just a case of shortening the rear tailpipes??

I have owned 4 cars all big cammed , vz maloo manual, E2 HSV Club From my own experience over the years owning cammed LS1s, 6 litres and 6.2 all manual, its pretty important do get the right shop who uses good parts and know how to tune the cam setup properly. My current VE SS Sedan, has a...

I have a 06 VE SS Sedan, manual, cammed. Engine done 155000tho, i have had zero trouble with the car up untill today. After re fuelling, , the car would not start and not turn over, nothing when you turn the key to start, however electrics are fine, battery is fine and double checked the battery...

Yes I have the full Diffilipo 3'' System, the rear diffillipo mufflers and on idle , with the cam, sounded puffy or tractor like....with the Ultrex its sounds a lot more meatier, and has a real bark... ive been at home and heard my missus driving it down the street from her work and it sounds...

I dug up some paperwork on the dyno results from previous owner, when i bought car he said it was xforce 1 7/8 headers and 2.5 catback from which was on car when he originally purchased it, at which i measured the xforce headers off my car last night and was quite surprised that they are infact...

Ok update, had the xforce taken off and the difillipo system installed yesterday, was alittle nervous of how it would end up First thing the shop said was when go to pick up car '' car sounds amazing and it drives very nice'' Ok nice, drive it home, feels a lot nicer and sound wise than xforce...

Yer the racket the xforce system makes on cold start up is tbh embarrasing,

The tuner /shop who done the tune is 5 hours away, my concern is the car runs like dog balls if i change over till get it re tuned.

Got it 2nd hand at good price, brand new no way

I have a full Difillipo 3inch system in my shed, purchased it 2nd hand, my current system on vcm16 cammed ve is xforce 2.5 catback with 1 7/8 xforce headers, the car actually feels good with plenty responsiveness , however sound wise its terrible , if i bolt on the full difiilipo 1 3/4 headers...

Exhausts are subjective, what sounds crap to someone else will properly sound good to you, but joe bloggs in the street isnt gonna hive five you for your note ffs

Yer im looking at 2.5inch quiet manta with muffler in middle Not interested in loudest car on the street, past that..

Dunno , good thing is xforce cats sit same factory posn so i can put on anything. Manta quiet 2.5inch or hurricane. As for performance goes the 2.5inch feels pretty snappy

I purchased a VE SS sedan, has a lumpy cam and a full xforce system 1 7/8 headers with 2.5 inch catback, this one has middle mufflers with 2 rear mufflers. Now the car sounds incredibly loud on cold start, and although it doesnt sound to bad when just cruising around , it sounds like a v6 on...

Old thread, last week i replaced the DPE 3inch mufflers to Ultrex 3" , im highly impressed with the build quality and in particular the Note. Slightly louder than DPE, my VE is cammed, my opinion is the ultrex mufflers put out a better sound, more they bed in,better they get, no drone.

Thanks for that clarification

Am about to buy a 2nd hand set of Giovani Dalar 20inch wheels off a VE Maloo which has VE AP HSV 4 spot brakes, however will they clear the VE Brembos on the front of my VE? Unsure if brembo require more clearance

Who is this clown. Every post I see of his, is a cut n paste ,hes googled and found from other sites, complete knob who thinks he knows everything but knows FA

I guess that leaves a bit of a dilemma for walkinshaw as DPE manufacture there systems. I've noticed over the last year or so , performance shops who use to whole heartily sell and use DPE, moved to other ones like hurricane. In WA street quick pulled the pin on DPE after long affiliation with...

It might be a good time to upgrade the lifters, few L98 engines have lifter fails the later L98 went to LS7 but worth checking. Make sure you get it done properly and quality valvesprings used that are setup correctly with the Cam. As for Cam as yours a auto, if you go to big you might want a...

Does anyone know if hurricane catback bolt direct up to DPE Headers and DPE cats converters on VE/VF SS Sedan.

Pretty sure pir4te could get you that power with his magical exhaust physics

Done abit of ringing around 2.5" Manta quiet one looks like a winner , MCE motorsport reakon it will give me no drone and a good crisp note Fabricated to 1 7/8 Difillipo headers and cats

What drew me to exhaust tech was actually the photo of the VE exhaust on there website, which mark said was his Marko gold, further discussion I did tell him I was looking at a kpm system but he talked me out of it, saying they are inferior and made in china , looking back on it he basically...

What system you got now and is yours already cammed? I'm in the same process I'm ditching the Difillipo system on mine or catback it sounds stink with a cam especially on idle. My reckoning is a xforce s/s in 2.5" sounds better than xforce 3" Consider hurricane they sell a full system including...

Hey I got ripped off by exhaust tech, i was stupid enough to take his word and paid $4400 for a full system and after huge chase up , calls , runaround , it turned up, in the end after a 4 1/2 drive to Perth to get it fitted, it wouldn't fit . The shop fitted the pacemaker headers and everything...

I'm looking at replacing 8 plus year old Difillipo big boy system on my cammed 233/238 VE SS Sedan, manual. To be honest I don't think the DPE is a good a sound on idle rather fluffy and on a cammed engine are average sounding untill your right up it, however it's got no drone Been...

I've read ead whole thread and talk about a bunch of confusing jargo. Having had xforce system and a Difillipo big boy system on cammed VE SS , 232/234 cam only manual setup. The xforce had more pull and low end over the Difillipo big boy. I actually found the Difillipo doughy as fuk down low...

Don’t go there , I got one of exhaust technology handbuilt systems sent over to WA for my ve, and it’s a pile of rubbish. He uses xforce rear mufflers , some stupid valve he welded into the outlet, and to top it all off , doesn’t fit. They would rate as the worst shop I’ve ever encountered for...

panic attacks I had a few biggies but learnt fast that your best cure is fight them not flight. Panic attack won’t hurt you. If you keep being scared of them, you will keep getting them they’re like a shadow will follow you around. If you have a panic attack just embrace it, enjoy it , say bring...

I had 20x10 +45 Rears and 20x8.5 F +35 Koya SF11 , had zero rub, zero issues. Ive also had on same VE, 20X10 + 40 Rears Niche Sport, rubbed and hit inner guard once lowered on bumps. All about right offsets

Yea when asked the deposit was for parts to build the mufflers ect I’m sure he can make something great however I’m more concerned if there customer service is any good and won’t rip me off the deposit if they start bs delays ect

Exhaust tech Marko gold system as on there website is the kpm system or was, ET said they no longer make exhausts for kpm which I’m wondering if the marko gold aka kpm all along is just a imported system as I doubt being a 1 or 2 man shop he’d be able to pump out loads of systems, ET make his...

They can do a handbuilt system with 1 7/8 headers ceramic coated. $4200 plus freight, only thing that bothers me is they want a $1500deposit, at which im happy to pay but don't want to be f@@ked around by waiting, waiting, ect for them to make it

Has anyone had one of Exhaust Technology’s , Adelaide, handbuilt VE VF 3” systems before, and comment what you think of it, I been told they use to make the kpm systems.......How is there customer service ect looking at getting one interstate
