VX Executive

Gaming Warrior · #1 09-09-2008, 11:41 PM

Hey guys, I got a VX Executive(2000) a about 7 months back now and have always thought it was stock as a rock, no extras. But there has always been one thing that has always made me wonder was every VX Executive i see has the circle muffler tip and has a pretty quite idle, while mine has a oval muffler tip and is quite a bit louder. So basically my question is, Was there an option to upgrade the exhaust when buying a VX Executive or has this been put on since the car was sold in which case how would i find out what type of exhaust is on it?

should say its a sports system. To check you could just look under the car and the pipe from the cat back will either look newer or be of a larger diameter than the original pipes coming from the motor

It could well be stock material. I vaguely remember there was news about a component manufacturer that was experiencing financial problems back in early 2000s that was affecting the supply of OEM components to car manufacturers. So don't be surprised if some parts look a little different between same models of that era. Could someone verify this?

on my old car (v6 vx)
pretty sure the original muffler said holden on it

If it was anything other then an Executive then I wouldn't have thought twice about it but a car that doesn't have power windows but has a sports looking exhaust just doesn't seem right.

i duno about that, you dont no what the person removed b4 this guy baught it.
look in vt-vx my ride section theres a car "trixter" that has wind up windows and a ls1....

hmmm that car started as a VT Executive and looks to have the same exhaust, maybe it is normal for people to option sports exhaust before power windows.
May i also add that is one sexy car
