Hi panhead I read that you have kw coilovers in your ute, how do you find the ride comfort with the height you have got it set at, is it harsh or rigid. Cheers Scott

Good info there monstar, cheers.

Thanks for reply monstar, all good

Thanks for the reply abba that's 3 people saying it will be fine and one not, you seem to know what your talking about, cause I don't and that's why I asked, cheers

Monstar you have got issues

I didn't start this thread to learn about tuners, all I wanted to know is it safe to drive my car to my preferred tuner with a new exhaust installed. I have read nothing but good reviews about Sam, used him once and want to use him again. I think you will find there are plenty of other people...

Will do

And why won't you go to Sam again monstar?

Full 3" system, headers,hi flow cats , mid section, mufflers

Hey blackve Had a 2.5 kpm cat back on my Ve and liked it but going the full 3" this time, just wasn't sure about driving it untuned, thought it may possibly lean it out but then again I have no idea what I'm talking about regards to this topic so that's why I asked , thanks all for the info.

Hey maz After much research have decided on a kpm system and taking it to sams performance in Sydney to do the tune. There are tuners here in Canberra that can do it but Sam has a rep as one of the best in the business and I don't mind driving the 3 hours to get the job done. He did my Ve ute...

hi all Am wanting to get a full 3 inch system fitted to my vf2 redline ute and then want to drive it to my tuner to get it tuned and a otr cai installed, but the tuner I want to use is nearly 3 hours drive away.so my question is: is there a chance of engine damage in driving the car with a new...

I had a similar issue when I bought my ute. Do you buy a new ve ss for 40k, put 10k into for a total price of 50k or do you buy a second hand maloo for 50k?? I ended up buying the ss and doing the mods.

Thanks pirate mine has the 2.92 as you know but after what you said I think I will go for the 3.45 cause I'm not overly cashed up and this is a reasonably big purchase for me so definatly do not want any failures.

Hi all I know this has been covered and I have searched the forums but still confused and need advice from people who know what they are talking about. I am wanting to change my diff ratios but unsure which to get, the 3.45 or 3.70. It is for my auto ve ss ute which has bolt on mods, tune and 20...

No ducker you must of misunderstood my reply, I was quoted $3500 for vossen cv3's rims only, then I would have to get tyres and I estimated roughly around $1200 and I would also have to pay for postage for the rims to get freighted to me around $300-$400. Total price $5000

I got quoted $3500 for vossens cv3's wheels only then you add tyres around $1200 plus freight on top, couldn't justify spending nearly 5 k on a wheel and tyre package.

Mate I'm in my mid 40's and pretty much computer illiterate and just able to post comments on threads let alone put up a photo. Going to get the missus to give me a hand to see if she can help me, stand by. Lol

Have a look at the avant garde illest, identical to vossens cv3's but 70 percent cheaper. Have got them on my ve ss ute in Matt graphite 20x 9.5 all the way round, looks good IMO $2200 fitted with kumho tyres.

If I were you I would get the 2.5 kpm catback, fit it yourself and then take the car to a good tuner for a tune and a otr cai. That's what I did with my ute and couldn't be happier with the results

Thanks for the replys fellas, I think il go staggered. There is a member on here ( ve055) with photos of his green ute with staggered vossens cv3's and looks perfect in my opinion, so that's the way il go. Cheers.

Not fussed about wheel rotation, the car doesn't get driven much as I have a work truck.

Hi all , time for some new wheels for my ve ss ute. The wheels I'm getting are 20"niche Milan's ( similar to vossen cv3's) but undecided on what looks better, the staggered look with 10's on the rear and 8.5's on the front or 10's allround. There is an orange vf ss on another forum with 10's...

Hi all ended up getting sams performance to do the tune and otr cai on my ute (auto with L77 engine) With 2.5 kpm cat back exhaust the numbers are Torque:420.7 ftlb Horsepower: 342.6 at the wheels Kw:255 at the wheels At the end of the day they are only numbers and I am more than happy with...

Thanks for the replys fellas, just two other things, dose a tune shorten the life of an engine and do I have to get the car retuned after a few years or so. I plan keeping the car for quiet a while. Thanks.

Now that I have got my exhaust sorted next step is tune and otr cai. I live in canberra and not to sure about the tuners here so was going to drive to sydney and get sams performance to do the work. Have any of you guys used sams, what are your thoughts. Were you happy with his work, car is a ve...

Totally agree with u naaf , considering how much you pay for there system you would think it would prefect, anyway they admitted it was there fault and got the problem sorted straight away free of charge

Problem sorted, rang kpm this morning, spoke to the main man told him the problem and he said leave it with him ,he rang me back half hour later and told me to go to a certain exhaust shop in my area they will sort out the problem there and then, did that took 45 min and very happy, looks heaps...

Yeah ute is my 12 and on the box when I received the exhaust it said for my 12 so I'm pretty sure I got the right one.

Hi all first post and need help. I just installed a kpm 2.5 cat back exhaust to my ve ss ute and can not get the end tips central on the rear bumper bar as they are as they almost touching the inside of the cut out on the bar. Where the hangers meet the rubber bush ther is over an inch...
