[tiersum]

Hello all

A few questions

I currently have a standard motor with the supercharged six CAI , id like to get a new exhaust system pretty much everything replaced except extractors i have live axel im wondering how much would this cost and where would be the best place to have it done im in sydney.

Removing the mouldings from the body of the car and the doors whats the best way to remove them without having to respray the car is it possible any help on this subject would be fantastic ill take some photos of my car soon and post it up for all to see just got new 19"s


Im also trying to track down 2 silver doors for my vs commodore passenger side my retarded ex-gf kicked both of them in

A 2 and a 1/2 inch catback exhaust will cost you around the $250 mark, I cannot comment on the best place to get one in Sydney though. Im assuming that the moldings that you are talking about are the strips that are on the doors, the strips are easily removed by running a piece of fishing line behind the strip the sikaflex (glue) is a pain to remove though. The best way to remove the sikaflex without removing any paint is to use a Caramel Wheel. A Caramel Wheel is a rubber wheel that attaches to a drill. Caramel Wheels can be hard to find, your best chance of finding one is at a body shop supply store or at a panel beaters.

Yes that price includes the muffler and fitting.

Removing the sikaflex is a nightmare, like I said your best option is a caramel wheel, just don't hold it in the same spot for to long otherwise you will burn the paint.

your looking at replacing everything bar the extractors?

Is anything wrong with your Cat converter? because on a reasonably stock car you may as well keep the Cat and spend the money on extractors.

to be quite honest i dont even really think there is anything wrong with my exhaust system at all car is @ 174k and according to the log book now is the time the exhaust system starts to kick it in so i was thinking of jumping the gun and having it replaced @ about $300 mark for the job i think ill just get it done
