Anyone fitted Walkinshaw power pack?

[TinSnips]

Walky kits use rebadged products. Not saying that's a bad thing, as they tend not to mess with the factory warranty. However you may be able to source the same (or better) parts cheaper if you shop around - all you'll miss out on is the walky badging. Not knocking it, just saying to be wary of the hype.

The HYPE is worth it. I've had my power pack in for 12 months now and I love. It sounds great and responds beautifully. I intend to upgrade the car with more Walkinshaw products eventually. Maybe their wheel package and have it lowered. It will cost a motza but it's nice to know that they (the wheels) are made especially for Holdens and can't be brought anywhere else. I'll probably go the OTR as well and whack some engine covers on it. I was given some Walkinshaw stickers to put on my car but I already have a HRT on the rear window plus the new Walkinshaw badge on the drivers side rear. It's a lot bigger comapred to the orignal badge, same size as the SSV actually, but it looks sensational. A couple of blokes have commented on it already. I also have the Walky aerial that I thinks looks better than the standard. It's a nice snug nose fit.

I fitted a Walky power pack to my SSV wagon in August 2010. CAI, 2.5" cat back and full dyno tune (include deactivating AFM) cost $3600. The car is very different to drive now, impoved performance, nice note, most of the time. At 2000rpm it drones. This is crap in traffic as you often hover around this rev range. Any ideas? Is this because it's a wagon with more area for sound to enter the cabin? My mate has an auto ute with a similar system (not Walky) with no drone - it's go a mid muffler though - mine's got got 2 slim hot dogs.

Yeah my VCM 3" drones about that rpm too. Though they guranteed no drone with a 3" system! Personally I don't think you can eliminate drone on an upgraded exhaust etc it but you can quickly overcome it with a soft touch on the pedal when driving. I too drive around CBD and it's not too bad!

i think thats what 3 inch does to a non turbo car ? especially jumping from 2 inch or so to a 3 inch

 

[whitewgn]

thanks loku16. Walkinshaw also state that their systems are "guaranteed 100% no drone". I know you can go a little easier on the pedal, but most of the time in traffic, 2000rpm is around gearchanges. Looks like yours has a mid muffler, is that so?

Say what? Are you saying it needs to be turboed to run 3"?

I have A Redline Maunal Ute, Love it! Got the WP Power Pack and Super Sports Headers fitted from the start, Goes awsome, My old man had a SSV Sereis 1 ute not long ago an i thought that went well but mine has heaps more down low, Goes mint, cherps into 3rd. Also got it lowered and a short shifter by Walky, Love the shorty. I highly recommend WP especially as you hold your factory warranty.
