I recently booked my car to get HM headers fitted + custom tuned in Dynomotive @ Bayswater n they guarantee me 30rwkw in increase. They quote me 770 for the headers n 700 for the custom tune but i got it down to 1400. So is that an alright price? what u guys think. Btw i already got CAI K&N filter n cat back twin 2 1/2. Oh n i ask them about gettin the cams done n they said 2800 thats including the chip n tune ofcourse with another 30rwkw increase plz really need some feedback cheers m8. Hopefully this will satisfy me till i get the new VE R8 in about a yr luv that car in Black on black but still waiting to depreciate for a bit n lastly my 99 vt only done 75000k if theres any opinion about it thanks again
also ask them bout rockers but they reckon that in wont make the car go any faster so im im like huh? my knowledge in these things r limited so an opinion from a guy that knows their stuff will be much appreciated ty
leave the rockers, the price sounds around ballpark yeah. if you are planing on getting a cam done, dont bother getting the car tuned now. get the headers fitted thats all, the car has to be tuned once the cam is installed anyway, ull be doubling up on tunes for no real reason.
thanks m8 for ur opinion n yes i have thought of that im actually ready to get the cams done now since i saved a little but i juz wanna test their work 1st if they can actually deliver. i now its a 700 lost but dont wanna spend a whole bunch too n lose more. any thoughts
so is 700 worth the sacrifice i aint rich but juz dont wanna spend a lot more money n be disappointed by their work
so any feedback according to dynomotive via past experiences any1
mate just save the 700 u were going to spend on a tune, this is encorporated in the 2800 theyre quoted you for the cam install. dont double up. u dont need a tune just for the headers, u will still see gains. get your headers, then get your cam install done and let them tune it. ur saving money and getting the same results.
I will get you 15 rwkw for 50 bucks, 100% for sure on a VT 5 litre, maybe more than that. You can get the other 15 from a 1000$ twin system. Oh you allready have a twin system, you wont gain 15 rwkw from headers
thnx 4 for the help guys luv this site
is the twin system overkill?
Nope twin systems are full of win. Have you got a X pipe or merge in it?
sorry pardon my ignorance but if u go to di filippo website its whatever the setup they have there for a 5 litre but juz the catback but in mild steel. which is the twin 2 1/2 str8 tru mufflers in mild steel n twin 2 1/2 str8 tru rear muffler with twin two outlets in stainless steel. n about the brand i have no idea coz my old workm8 hooked me up coz his dad owns 1 of the fastfit joints in cranny and honestly didnt bother about the brand @ the time juz wanted to change the note atleast. but paid like close to 600 with a hook up. ive asked a few to look at the setup b4 n they said it wasnt a bad deal but saying that im still not entirely sure if it was a gud 1 but all i can say is im happy with it. gotta luv it when it backfires when u rev it up lol
i appreciate ur effort in replying thanx bro
vn calais manual m8 finally decided to go ur way. ur right, i'll save alot so i rang them to do the whole lot already. cam package headers high flow cat + tune wish me luck. tah m8
btw they said its a mild cam. apparently i'll gain more power + better fuel economy. well thats what they suggested anyway. Any opinion? will be gladly appreciated. already having a hard time to make the misis swallow it lol. def not a happy camper she is lmao
