    $1000 to spend on my VE SSV exhaust - what to buy?

    Yes, I am planning to talk to Rob before I do anything. He hasn't replied to my email quote request yet. Guess I might be forced to pick up the phone! O2 sensors? What do they cost?

    $1000 to spend on my VE SSV exhaust - what to buy?

    Just watched this video. Did you try out several different combinations on the same car? Are you made of money or do you own an exhaust shop? Lot a work in that! Can you give me more details about this? Assume Wildcats are the headers? HFC is high flow catbacks? Any particular brand? And...

    $1000 to spend on my VE SSV exhaust - what to buy?

    Nice. Did you pick up the parts and do it yourself? Or did you get it done somewhere? I'm thinking you did it yourself. Me, I'm not that handy but I have a brother and a brother in law who might be. Saw your video. Not sure what you mean by adjustable silencers but I see what they do. That...

    $1000 to spend on my VE SSV exhaust - what to buy?

    Too kind mpower. I'm stretching my memory back several decades since I last modified an exhaust system! Doesn't make me want to do it any less though.

    $1000 to spend on my VE SSV exhaust - what to buy?

    Sorry if I'm not getting my terminologies quite right. In my era, headers were like an integrated one-piece manifold (shorter than extractors). Or at least I thought they were :)

    Where did you get this from? What was the performance impact? I presume from the pic that yours is a Maloo? Have you come close to your fuel saving goal yet? My brother-in-law fitted a straight-through system to his CV8 and gets below 9L/100KM now. But it's VERY loud.

    Anyone familiar with the Hurricane system? Extractors, cats, twin 2.5" system? Holden Commodore VE V8 6 0LT Hurricane Extractors Cats Twin 2 5" Exhaust | eBay Not sure I want to go this way because the cost seems quite high just for a system and have to still get someone to fit it (i don't...

    $1000 to spend on my VE SSV exhaust - what to buy?

    I've spoken harshly to she who hoons and explained the many and varied benefits of replacing the whole system end to end. I think she agrees now we need to spend up to $2500. The Magnaflow system sounds good. Should I just be using their headers? Or going all the way to extractors? We always...

    $1000 to spend on my VE SSV exhaust - what to buy?

    Thought as much. There are systems around for under $1000 but not much known about them (e.g. Mars). I must say I had given some thought to removing the mid mufflers but I thought I'd need to fit an x-pipe or similar to reduce drone. How does it work with straight through pipes? Surely the...

    $1000 to spend on my VE SSV exhaust - what to buy?

    I'm sure exhaust systems for SS Commodores have been discussed endlessly here and I've read a lot of posts about different exhaust mods to make the MY12 SSV sound like a real V8, but if I only have $1000 to spend and want to get a good note with minimum drone (sedan) what's the best way to spend...
