[Ayden450]

wow, good work!

[Jarp]

Nice work man...well done.

[Haluigi]

Wayyyy to much time on your hands

[Tommo_27]

Nice work. Sticky it.

[K-Man]

Yea I had a free afternoon while hungover. Thought it may help with the 1000 "What exhaust should I buy?" threads.

[footy]

still quicker to use the search function

[bladerunner]

still quicker to use the search function

not if it becomes a sticky, good work i say. so how about it mods?

[WogBoyz]

Very nice effort mate, that woulda taken a while!

[Lumps of cheese]

Yea I had a free afternoon while hungover. Thought it may help with the 1000 "What exhaust should I buy?" threads.

Are you sick to death of them too?
Thought i was the only one.....

[VooDooWagon]

Top job mate. Should definitely be a sticky.

[UFO]

Holy crap, great work!

Only 60 posts in and makes a top notch thread that will no doubt become a sticky.

Well done K-Man

(and what's the bet next week a newbie STILL asks a question answered here)

[piston_broke]

+1 for the sticky, and as most have mentioned, top job.

[Thesickness86]

Wow great work mate

[K-Man]

Cheers lads, hope it helps.

[Pickle']

Nice Work mate.. should definitely sticky it

[too jazzy]

just bumping this up for a sticky guess the mods forgot about this one haha

[Mike08]

100% Deserves to be a sticky.

No doubt.

Cheers.

[I LIKE COMMODORES]

Wow K-man! Very nice work, defiantly sticky worthy.

[Mike08]

Bump, because it should be a sticky.

Cheers.

[too jazzy]

I think one of the mods will have to be pm for this one. I'd do it but stuck on crappy iPhone lol

[greenacc]

Defiantly sticky worthy indeed. Is anyone going to keep it updates with new threads though ? Unfortunatley it will be useless if not regularly updated

[K-Man]

Yea I'll do it soon, I've come into a lot of spare time. So ill dig a bit deeper and cover the topics that are there better, and perhaps add some more like a DIY section.

[Troy711]

I didn't even realise this thread was here, now I know it's stuck

[Stash96]

Hi Mates, just wondering, i have a Holden VE SS 2008 Series 1 6.0L V8, and im wondering what would happen if i were to take out the mid section of my exhaust and replace it with two straight pipes? would it sound to loud? would it improve performance? what are some good areas which would happen after the replacement? cheers.
