Exhaust for AFM SS Commodore

[stu-k]

yeah that sucks ... who'd want AFM???? .... save a lousy 1 l per 100 km and lose 10 kw AND ability to do after market mods.

People that are happy with them stock i guess and its easy to disable anyway.

Hey Yissy,
I don't know if you are still having the exhaust issue, but I went through this for many months, trying several different types of systems on my SSV Wagon. The hammering inside the cabin was insane while afm was activated. I was hesitant to have it turned off at tuning, as I am getting 8.2 litres per 100 on regular interstate trips. If I drive in manual mode, the afm does not kick in, but the fuel consumption is around 10 Lt per 100k. What I have finished with is 1 3/4" Headers, High flow cats, 2.5" system (Hurricane) and the original Holden mufflers. It has a bit more grunt than stock, but it is still very quiet. I am not at all happy with the note, but I know of no solution. If you have found one, I would love to hear from you.

Hi Yissy,

I'm also doing my head in, as I too have just purchased a VE SS with AFM. Can you please give me the specifics of work done, brands, etc? I am looking at sticking in a 2.5 exhaust, but also don't want to disable AFM.

Pacemaker extractors, ballsitic cats and a kpm catback exhaust...

Will put a decent hole in your pocket but sounds oh so sweet.

Yep, will second that, i'm running that setup sounds great and dosen't drone (manual thou)

Pacemaker extractors, ballistic cats and KPM catback... How much will that set me back and does AFM have to be turned off?

I think Jamster is asking if that setup will still drone/vibrate with AFM. Personally, I'm not convinced that it won't.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

I have that setup on my my10 ssv ute, still using afm and has little to no drone.

I can tell when afm kicks in on the freeway etc but other ppl that have been in the car can't.
