    Exclamation I Have a 5.0L VS/VR IRS 2.5" exhaust For sale....BUT i have a question.

    Will it fit anything else? like from the cat back?....obviously it needs to be IRS

    but will it only fit another 5.0L VR/S??

    or will it bolt up to any IRS car if i bolt it up too the original Cat on a VT, VX. etc..?

    It will fit all IRS sedans from VP-VR and VS V8. Will not fit VS V6 or anything after.

    I can do a Stato one for $260 freighted to you.

    It's much easier to find a good exhaust for a VP/R/S with IRS since all the HSV's and Calais run that and all the V6 VP/R Calais and Aclaims so that's alot of cars. And easier to fit a good exhaust in there since its all setup under the car for twins + the tailshaft doesn't move. The stato one is very similar just slightly longer infront of the mufflers but it's adaptable. You can use the muffler section from a VT/X/Y/Z but the rest of the system is way different

    No you can't. The cat is in a different spot and so are the brackets. Where the pipe goes under the axle is different as well.

    Yes you can use the muffler section (the cat is in a different spot as is after the mufflers (slightly) but you can use the muffler section. I have one on my car, from in front of the mufflers to beind them and all the hangers goes straight in. I'm not talkign about anything forward or behind the mufflers

    I tried fitting one to a VS and the hangers were wider and the pipe had to be cut back to fit to the cat. Where it goes under the axle had to be remade to come out in the right spot as it went too far to the left.

    But if you are just talking the mufflers without any pipework, then it will go on, but you still have to cut a bit off the hangers or they hit the body.

    Hrm, well mine went on. I did end up adjsuting the hangers because I needed to move the mufflers back an inch so I had room to fit my merge chamber and still get a not so savage bend comming out of the drivers side cat into the merge (I don't have much room with those 40 inch headers). But that section it did go on straight out of the box for me
