First time mods

[SS Gazz]

Hi everyone. I bought a very nice Ve SS 2008 my 09 with only 43k on the clock all original no mods. I've just got a quote of 6k for Hurricane 3" full exhaust 409 s/s with ceramic coated headers and 200 cell stainless high flow cats. Also a vcm otr with full mafless tune and dyno. Is this price about the norm for these mods? Am i going overboard? Has anyone got a similar setup to this?

Sounds a bit dear to me, sure there is no cam change as well in that quote?

No mate no cam change.

A quick search shows that yes you would pay between 5 and 6k for the work you mentioned but I would be shopping around

If you do decide to go ahead you will love it!!! It livens them up really well, big difference over stock I have an 07 VE ss with an Otr,3 inch stainless x force exhaust, hsv headers with de cat pipes and full mafless dyno tune

If you can get the OTR and tune done and do the exhaust yourself, I do Hurricane headers with a Manta stainless 3" pretty much the same as what you are getting, (but I think the Manta sounds better than the Hurricane), all of this with ceramic coating on the headers as well, shipped to you for $3995. It would save you about $1000 I'd say.

VCM OTR is only around $530 and easy to fit yourself too

Thanks for ur thoughts people. I will keep ur offer in mind not_an_abba_fan. Now found out the hurricane set up is made of 409 s/s (but is australian made) whereas most other s/s systems are 304 (xforce sre chinese made i think). Going by a lot of web studying 304 s/s is superior and more expensive than 409. So why are hurricane etc systems dearer???

my advice spend time researching and ask around that price is right up there full exhaust coated headers and otr/tune should be around 5K

OP I love your catback choice, worth mentioning seeing I nearly got busted last week, that the average quiet street no traffic is about 60db, average quiet conversation about 70db. The approved noise level for your car is same as mine, 82db.
I just passed with HSV bimodal mufflers, perhaps worth considering vs defect / scrutiny.
