    Default exhaust swap

    hey guys

    anyone interested in doing a straight swap... my sports exhaust on my current VT S pack for a standard exhaust?

    i bought the car a few months ago and it already came lowered with a sports exhaust, but im sick of the sports exhaust, so im offering just a straight swap for a standard one, if anyone with a v6 ecotec is interested?

    im in the south eastern suburbs of victoria, let me know if you are interested

    cheers

    haha like i said mate, all i know is that its a sports exhaust and sounds quite nice, it was on the car when i bought it a couple of months ago, but neighbours around me, parents and stuff hate it and want it gone so i need a standard one. i have a mate who is willing to do it, but hasnt heard the system yet. if he doesn't want it, you're more than welcome to it.

    yeah mate is swapping on sunday... is it just a standard 'unbolt from engine and clips under car'? or is it more complicated than that?

    Shame you not on QLD/NSW boarder, I have my old standard one collecting dust lol does it have extractors ? if not its a simple unbolt from the cat, then just remove the rubbers that hold the rest of the exhaust on

    so... went to do the exhaust swap with a mate today, and apparently a vt exhaust is different to a vx, it is hitting on something underneath the car... dammit!

    thinking about biting the bullet and going to buy a standard exhaust from a wreckers, and then selling my sports one on here or ebay, unless anyone near by me (in croydon) wants to do a swap with me in the next week?

    cheers

    Hey there no super6 exhaust are different they are the same as a v8 and you could probably just go to pick apart or jollies in dandy and get one cheap im always at jolly's but give me the shits that paople that go in there are so reckless and just ruin shit to get the part there after .

    yeah thats true,

    i might just go to pick a part tomorrow, they said $65 for the part i want, then i could chuck my sports exhaust on ebay
    just sucks though, could have done a straights swap with someone and not have to worry about any finances

    oh.... strange.. i figured exhaust between VT and VX would be the same? Since when you go to buy one on ebay they are the same... Sure his car wasnt a Super6?

    went to the wreckers and got a standard exhaust... neighbours and parents are happy now.
    still have the exhaust sitting here, if you want or know someone who wants a sports exhaust i have it sitting in the shed.
    will consider doing a swap for a nice exhaust tip to put on the exhaust i have now (the sports exhaust has my nice tip welded on it) if someone is willing to pick it up

    let me know if there is any interest, if not, im ebaying it

    cheers guys
