    Will a V8 exhaust fit on a V6 VU?

    Would a 2.5" work alright? Tends to be a common size. I was looking at the systems with the straight rear pipe. Might a rear muffler be better?

    VY Audio Issues

    Ended up finding out that the radio was still working and I was controlling it on the steering wheel buttons. It was the screen which stopped working. Still had the problem with the left side speakers not working though. Ended up selling the car anyway so it's not my problem anymore.

    VT Not Idling Properly

    Hi all, my brother bought a VT recently which has factory gas. He got it reasonably cheap due to it not running perfectly. It runs fine when driving and is actually very smooth however it idles very poorly. Thought it was a easy fix but after doing a full service and running the car on just...

    In need of help with my VS Commodore

    With the ECU I replaced the entire thing thinking that maybe the one in the car had been chiped or something so that should be ok. When the box was replaced we also did the torque converter. The reason we changed the box in the firt place was because we suspected maybe a higher reving torque...
