Very nice!

Michelin pilot super sports all the way.

What kind of power increase would this give?

I've had my new CalaisV since May, and already done 9,000km in it

When my stock Bridgestone tires wear out on my CalaisV I'm gonna put Michelin pilot super sports on.

I just got headers catback otr and tune on my VF CalaisV and made 67 rear wheel kilowatts. With bi modals you should be able to have it working on the quiet muffler while below say 2200 rpm. Which means you won't get any drone when AFM kicks in. And therefore won't have to turn it off etc.

Melbourne performance centre did the work. It runs and sounds good. It seems loud in 6th gear at 110-115kph kind of range (ie. Only of freeways) but apart from that it's very good

So I finally got my tune otr and full exhaust! Very happy with the results. Went from 209- 266 rwkw. Was kinda surprised how much more powerful as stock then the claimed power. Should have been around 192 rwkw And it was basically a 335 kW pack that got me to 360. $4400. Just incase...

Why was he banned?

car is stock right now, getting a full exhaust otr and tune on wednesday

It's a V8.

What would I have to do to get paddle shifters on my Calais v? Could I just go to the dealership and ask for them to be put on? Also how much would I be looking at paying for it?

My car is stock. Running 98 I live in the country so most of my driving is highway / country roads, with a bit of around town. If I drive fairly sedately most of the time I seem to get near 700km per tank. In about a week I'm getting an otr tune and full exhaust. So I'll be able to see the...

Light acceleration, 39.9 often pops up

What would be some high quality 245/40R19 tires? Ideally not more then say $350 each

Don't really have any interest in bigger breaks, I won't be doing anything that requires them, I just like the idea of the car having better handling and breaking to match the improved power. I wouldnt get anything at all really from brembos.

Thanks for the info pirate, I think I have figured out what to do. I went and spoke with the guys at Melbourne performance centre, and I can get cat backs otr and tune for 40ish rwkw, for $3500, which sounds pretty good to me, not too loud and I can keep my AFM and no drone. Now what about...

I am definitely open to better ideas tho!

Hmm, well I guess the situation is that I don't have a lot of money to spend, and replacing just the muffler will apparently guaranteedly cause droning, and the only way to stop it is to turn off AFM.

I live about 3hrs from Melbourne, and just today I found out that there is a local guy that can to the work for me. He offered a tune, otr and a much less restrictive muffler and a before and after dyno for $2560 fitted, for around 40-50 rwkw increase, I believe they were VCM? Parts. He...

Good to know, it will be my daily car Edit - After a heap more looking around and research, Im leaning toward just the otr and tune, I don't want to lose my AFM or my holden warranty, those 2 things shouldn't effect warranty right?

I know pir4te is one of the posters here, but I don't know enough about it all to get your sarcasm lol

I just purchased a new 2015 calais v v8, I am interested in getting some upgrades such as otr intake exhaust and extractors to bring the power somewhere around 310-320 kW. However I have never done this before and am quite new to it all, I'm not sure who to get to do it and what brands. I...
