Hey guys. Recently upgraded from a VZ executive to a VZ SS and best decision I ever made.
I've picked up some cheap pacemaker 4-1s and a 3" difillipo cat back, but need some high flow cats to bolt in between, also need new flange gaskets and manifold gaskets as the stuff i bought is used, also need 4 o2 sensor extensions too I believe.
The car is also kinda low (SL front SSL rear) so can't have anything that doesn't sit tight to the body. I'm going to ring around a few exhaust places for a quote, one guy I spoke to today reckons about $1500ish to fit, which includes making up a custom cat assembly to fit.
If I wanna have a go myself, what kinda cats should I be looking at? Is there any way to get something which will just bolt on to both ends and not hang too low, or would that require a bit of welding to get it right?
Not to sure on any of this as I've never done more than a cat back before.
I'm gonna ring around a few more places, but if a mate and I can fit it ourselves that would be ideal.
What do you guys reckon is the best way to go to get this system fitted well? Also can anyone recommend a good place to grab all the gaskets, extenders and **** I will need in 1 go.
Next step is an OTR and mafless tune, i've already picked up a cheap VCM OTR too so looking at getting all this done very soon.
Let me know what you guys think, cheers.
Alternatively, i'll also take suggestions on exhaust/performance places to call to get it all fitted well at a good price, and if they can do the mafless tune at the same time even better.
I'm pretty out of the loop so not sure where is good, but im NOR\work in aussie park.
Cheers
EDIT:
Been doing my own research, just to add to my confusion for the 4 O2 sensor leads I need, are the pre and post cats different types?
eg.
VZ needs 2 of these for the pre cat and 2 of these for post cat?
