help! just bought a VE V

[kizza50]

just bought a VE V 06 commodore. im looking to do something things to it pretty much straight away. it has the single exhaust, and im just wondering if i can get the dual exhaust out the back? and also i want to lower it on superlows and install subs through a line out converter so where do i tap into the speaker wires from?

Firstly ill be doing the exhaust so if anyone could shed some light that would be good, i want the SS type with the dual exhausts with twin tips. some kits iv heard u can buy bolt on from cat back and allow this to happen, is that true? thanks

I think you can buy the dual outlet inserts to change the lower section the rear bumper to suit dual exhausts then you can get a CAT back 2nd hand dual one for a V6 off evil bay and swap the rear mufflers to SS ones without major dramas except maybe for 'drone' of this setup on a V6 but each to their own.

so am i after SS catback system? or v6 catback system?? and i want a bit of noise

[greenacc]

Noise is good, drone is BAD drives you nuts !!

Mate you need to change the rear defuser to the sv6/ss ones which have the twin outlet. Personally to make the car look better id go the G8 defuser, but may be abit expensiver but usualy people with sv6/ss change their defuser to the G8 one.

BTW THAT BLACK CAR IS "BONNERS" CAR

also the exhaust, you want the XFORCE 2.25 CATBACK SYSTEM.

then if you want more performance/louder you can get CATS+EXTRACTORS. but really dont need to

Goodluck buddy

[kuzman89]

hussy have you actually bought the xforce system yet? If not why are you recomending it?

[kizza50]

So after a twin defuser. N a system off a ss or sv6? Do I need any extra hangers or brackets?? And anyone know how the straight pipes go out the rear instead of muffler

[astroham]

1: the straight through pipes ... have tried it and its very loud ... which is good ... but it is missing the tuned exhaust note and it drones like a mofo
2:if you want a twin exhaust system you will need to buy a new rear diffuser like hussy said ... aparently the g8 ones aren't a perfect fir and there is a little bit of modification to get one on so keep that in mind ... the sv6 one should just bolt on
3:i have the dual 2.25 x force catback system with quad tips on and it sounds good but it does temd to drone a little at certain speeds and revs ... i also have pacemaker extractors and hi flow cats on mine ...
4:if you have a single system you might need some extra hangers for the back part where they spread out

so that should some up everything ... i dont think there is much point in getting a standard ss exhaust because i think they will be to big ... i know the sv6 exhaust is already 2.25 ... but its not mandril bend ... so i hope thats helpfull

If you are going to put a ss/ssv/sv6 system on a omega you will also need

2 Rubber Exhaust Mounts (22674119)
1 Rear Exhaust bracket. (92066860)
1 Left Hand heat shield. (92219526)
1 Diff double exhaust hanger (92066857)
SSV Lower bar inset (92173744)

Pick them up from your dealer or holmart

[kizza50]

How much should that set me back?

[BigBoss]

These are holmart prices
1)#1 Rubber Exhaust Mounts (22674119) $11.00 each
2) 1 Rear Exhaust bracket. (92066860) $22.00

4) 1 Diff double exhaust hanger (92066857) $16.00
5) SSV Lower bar inset! (For twin exhaust type) (92173744) $52.00

[kizza50]

[BigBoss]

holmart is online mate holmart.com.au/

[womble66]

is there a holmart in melbourne?? or wil i have to go to holden dealer?

But yes they are in Melbourne so you can collect and save on postage and delay in delivery. Holmart are not associated with Holden other than they source excess parts etc from Holden & HSV.

[kizza50]

ohh ye thanks for ur help! where in melbourne r they? also is the SSV defuser any good? i really dont want to modify the rear bar, but it says to specify which one? i dont get that part. also they do the twin exhaust pack for 350, will this give the car a nice note? compared to something mlike the Xforce 2.25" catback system?

the defusers are a little confusing by the sounds of things all SS/SV6/SSV diffusers fit after some modding, but as you don't wish to do that try this
SIDI Rear Diffuser?

[kizza50]

its all confusing,,, lol i might just go to holmart and sort it out..see what they recommend

[BigBoss]

That would be good, when you find out please let us all know i have been considering doing this for a while

[kizza50]

Also 2.25 or 2.5??

[BigBoss]

Just for future reference, people thinking about doing exhaust mods check this first

E69 EXHAUST SYSTEM-V8 (L76/6.0Y); E69 EXHAUST SYSTEM-V8 (LS3/6.2W);. Fits: G8 | Nalley Buick GMC Brunswick

Very useful

I bought myne from holmart, i went with the omega sidi difuser , str8 fit , the others you have to cut the plastic, still looks good and i got it with quad tips
