    VF commodore - disabling the abrasive "nanny state" warniing sounds (or chimes).

    I agree, Park assist screams at me 5am every morning when I start the car, you turn it off, only for it to re-enable next time you start the car. Holden should at least give you control over what features you want to use.

    Headers for Gen-F2 keeping factory Catback

    Thanks for the input, I'll look at the HM headers, curious on peoples thoughts on 1 3/4 vs 1 7/8 primaries, chasing low to mid torque. I would like a OTR as I prefer the appearance, Are Duspeed were as good as VCM ?

    The question again...VF Clubby or VF2 SSV Redline

    Pondering a similar question myself looking at buying a VFII GTS, but trying to justify the $35K extra and higher Maintenance and running costs I can handle the $6k every 40k for brakes and I know you don't buy a Supercharged V8 for the fuel economy but reviews have the actual usage at mid...

    You can get a set of Magnaflows delivered from the US for around $700. They do sound good on the Pontiac, I would also consider a set of Flowmasters.

    Grill Change over

    Best choice for Rear Mufflers

    Sound alright, I would be happy with that, but like I said won't fit, Centre piece of the Hurricane cat back system is two sections When you install the Hurricane Headers and Cats, you need to remove the front 600mm section which bolts together, just infront of the xpipe. On your suggestion...
