well did some upgrades.

got an exhaust now!
I have a dual 3 "unmerged" drone free catback by sureflo. It features some nice Helmholtz pipes aswell!!

it has a very deepish sound under 2000rpm, its almost stock but you can tell a v8 is inside.
Sounds awesome, but when given the boot you can hear the v8 come to life. Roars very deep!!
It does me great because I use this ute to carry dogs in the back (dog trainer) and its nice and subtle for arriving at customers places.
not to mention now I have some dual 3.5 inch tips at back! looks TUFF! one tip is set back than the other, as the back bar on the v8s has a slight angle to it.
Tell me what you think?

. Ill have to get a vid up shortly!

Ive also lowered the car!. Its had the walkinshaw lowered springs installed. I did want the front a little lower and the walkinshaw package in their ride heigh was just that. Cornering is fantastic with the front a little lower especially in a ute.
At least now it has an aggressive stance to it aswell!

Going back to sureflo shortly to get 4>1 headers and some 5 inch ballistic 100cpi cats. It will definatley make it more deeper. The sound isn't for everyone. Best way I can explain it is the closet thing your going to get out of a LS2 sounding to an old 308! Its so meaty.
There is no bark, popping in the exhaust. I love it. but some others love that. but I hate it!!
I can definatley recommend sureflo. They have done both my ve and my older VY.

after I get the headers and cats done I plan to get a VCM OTR and ditch the walkinshaw pod filter.
and after that I want to upgrade the shocks to bilstein b8's.
Get a dyno tune and leave it at that! Love the car.

Maybe down the track I might get a little cam installed at around 217/217.
hmmmm but We will see.... Trying to go as stealth as possible with this one :) Ill be happy with around 280rkw all N/A !!! . time to show some ricers who is boss!

stay tuned for the exhaust video :)
