ve ss wagon stock cat back exhaust on a ve berlina?

[donkson]

Hey guys has anyone put a ve ss wagon cat back exhaust on an berlina as it is a single exhaust, i read a few things but just want to make sure it will fit, it has all the mounts for a dual exhaust on the berlina.
Cheers

[HEXEM]

Yes it will fit (as long as the passenger side has the mounting hardware). The Holden wagon and sedan (excluding the Statesman) use the same length system. Only thing I can see which may create some issues is whether or not there is a cut out for the muffler tips on the passenger side rear bumper.

Assuming you don't have that hardware this is what you will 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) or any other dual outlet lower bar insert for the ve

Cheers, i just got back from the wreckers and retrieved heat shield, exhaust bracket and the sv6 rear bar insert but the insert is to big, its off a sv6 ute so i don't know if the sadan inserts are smaller or?

[BigBoss]

yep you must get a sedan insert, how much did that set you back?

[donkson]

ohk then, was $40, just need the rubber mount just after the diff

[BigBoss]

Cool man upload some picks when you are finished

[donkson]

Will do man

[donkson]

SS exhaust not on looks so much better, but just after the diff needs a hanger welded on but i don't know about welding on ve commodores as i don't have a serge protector and don't want to disconnect the battery because of the computer, any ideas?

[BigBoss]

Really? i don't think you need to weld anything. But if you do just disconnect the battery i do it all the time when hooking up lights and other things.

[donkson]

ohk then, i thought it ####s with the computer or something that's what ive been told but yeah

[BigBoss]

Well probs best to ask your mechanic or a dealer, but i would not hesitate myself.... could be costly if something got stuffed up.

[donkson]

Yeah will do man, yeah true cheers for the help with the exhaust man

[kizza50]

i didnt think u needed to weld anything :S ?

[donkson]

i need to weld a new hanger where the white circle is

[BigBoss]

Interesting.... I just checked mine and it looks like yours.

[kizza50]

dam, lol was hoping i could get away with not welding anything

[BigBoss]

Really dose not look like a big job, 30mins with a welder and you will be all set, or take it to an exhaust place.

[donkson]

Yeah was thinking just take it to exhaust shop and get him to smack it on 5 min job, just need to find a ss insert now ?

Or according to tinsnips "There is a dual outlet option for the omega available direct from holden - I think it's about 60 bucks from memory." may be simpler

That Is correct, they give u the 2010 omega facia, I bought one today from Vermont Patterson Cheeney, 65 bucks, I got it 40 coz i work patterson Cheeney mercedes

[donkson]

ok ive figured it all out ill put some pics up, my dad picked this up its so ####ing simple i don't know why i didn't see it

[donkson]

The plate with the hanger is only bolted on so comes off easy so you can weld a hanger on the other side.

[BigBoss]

Well this would have been useful

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

So you could have just picked up a "Diff double exhaust hanger (92066857) $16.00" from holmart

But well done man looks like you did a good job

[BigBoss]

What rear diffuser did you end up going with?
