Scotch brite with wd40 will clean up the pipework nicely. What I used on the exact same pipes. Flanges are mild steel they'll keep on rusting without paint / coating

18 months ago I purchased a gen f mid section for $250 delivered ($100 transport) from planet parts to Perth. Consider the rear muffler flange as it may not be a direct bolt on depending on your model. If I were to alter the exhaust again I'd purchase a new quality cat back system. I did need...

I have the Pacey 5387's monstar recommended into a hsv 2.5" mid section. The flanges sit around 15mm below the chassis and the cats a little lower again. They do sit tucked up and haven't yet scraped -stock height.

Steve at oztrack quoted me 30rwkw. Car runs well. Plenty of before and after posts in various threads on here

Nice result With a tune only aswell Mine ran 13.29 @ 172kmhr into a 10kmhr headwind.

Awesome results GM Have always liked the drag strip and taken my cars and motobikes there since I was 18 Sent you all details, maybe I've broken the ice for more to follow. Good luck with the thread will be watching with interest Mike

Hi bigJim, What's the sound like with these running into the stock cat back system? Asking for a family member with the same car I nearly purchased a set from Andrew at extracted performance before buying some pacemakers. Cost was ~$1250-$1300 delivered to Perth. -Stainless (can't remember...

Plug on eBay extension looms was different. Photo attached of what I bought. Packaging was labelled 'gts o2 extension'. I uploaded a photo somewhere on here

Remove the plate that attaches to the firewall with the hose, secure it to something and go for a drive to see if you notice any change. I used a rubber Gromit siliconed to the inside of the plate as suggest by harrop / youngs performance here in Perth when I fitted an Otr. Mike

Hahaha sticker pack - like that one. I already drove it on the weekend but have driven another family members Auto Mse multiple times since late 2017. As a multi purpose vehicle for sub mid to high 60k I think they're fantastic. I prefer the brakes, front seats and flexibility in the handling...

whiteswan: cheers, clears that up Cuda: yep no clue!! Blackve: I haven't asked him before posting on a public forum Cheers guys

An uncle just took delivery of a stunning spitfire green MSE in manual this week. Absolute delight to drive. @cuda -you're right these look terrific in the flesh. The dealer noted to my uncle the shifter length in the MSE is slightly shorter than that in the redline / ss. Fact?? See photo...

Saw a video remove outer bolts on lower arms to remove for v8 Mines a sedan, not sure

Op - I agree with cuda also swap out sway bars. They remove easier on the v6's Big difference in body roll between fe2 and fe3 with just sway bar and shock damping changes. Drove my uncles redline again back to back last week.

VFII SSV Front springs - 92290030 Shocks - can't seem to slide rubber boot up or down Sway bar - 24mm Rear Springs - 92250236 Shocks - 92295950 Sway bar - 20mm

Yep rear sway mounted to the outside of the spring instead of to the inside. Same springs shocks tuned different and much less body roll compared to fe2

Measured a family members 17 redline sway bar size last week with vernier calipers Front 26mm Rear 25mm

Impressive results. No updates yet on his website Be sure to post up your results. Enjoy

Update from post #207 Changes: -Pacemaker 5387 tri's -200 cell cats -harrop otr -Updated Oztrack mafless tune -61kg less -> removed spare, jack , baby seats, rubber boot liner, header and cat weight reduction, air intake weight reduction -Better air but still a slight headwind -Launch of idle...

Thanks

Murdoch - use a thin smear of grease between the filter and otr housing. My harrop seals perfectly. I nearly ordered the rotofab unit and did a lot of reading on my options. The rotofab Looks great / held in high regard / filter less susseptible to debris / can replumb the sound enhancer (need...

Harrop infill panel is horrid. Finish / fit / mounting points -as suggested above. Harrop sent me a replacement after I had a whinge but it unfortunately had the same issues as the first. Vinnie is the vcm infill panel made of the same type of plastic as the Otr? Did you use the metal spacer...

GM - post edited. I checked tyre weight as per Bridgestone website

^ Nice rims. S2 VF SSV factory cast 19 x 8.5 wheel / new 245/40/19 reo50 = 26.5kg Tyre weight = 12.25kg Cast Thailand rim = 14.25kg Nearly busted my back removing The porker from the boot Looks like I Need some s1 redline rims in black

After my initial oztrack trans tune / engine tune I found this shift mode activated a lot easier. I did ask though for sport shift to activate 'performance shift activated' and drive to be sport mode but a relaxing of the parameters seemed to be what I got. Easiest way I found was to Take off...

Two family members have MY17's which I've driven back to back numerous times when mine had the stock tune. Both Felt more responsive down low to mid from yes, only 'seat of the pants' but similar top end. I thought maybe mine was a dud until this thread was started 2 months later. See post 25...

Yes correct, competitive mode a feature of the redline and not the ss/ssv. 'performance shift activated' keeps rpm over around 3500 from Memory / blips on downshifts

I enquired last year about a gearbox tune with oztrack and street quick performance. Both recommended to do the engine ecu along with the trans as they're both interconnected. Didn't think it was possible to just do one but guess it is. Would be good to have 'performance mode' actived at the...

Driveline slack ? Play in diff/ uni joints .

No worries mate

VinnieLS3- yes amazing how much they 'come alive' with a few bolt ons. I had only a tune / gts mid section done before headers / cats / mafless and there was a much more noticeable difference with the latter. Also have a nice burble but a slight drone / humm ~1100rpm under load. Less overall...

These guys do a lot of hot rod work and did all the pipework on a family members chev belair? He commonly uses the same setup Naaf recommends on these cars. I'll agree not many exhaust shops do work like this. I had a local business make an absolute mess out of a simple job installing my gts mid...

Yeh I seem to recall that photo posted by someone who keeps preaching the 5387 + pipe combo on here. verified by my cousins hubbie who also uses pipemax software for his sports sedan exhaust setup and told me to use the Pacey 5387's a while back. There wasn't much science in my approach...

Cheers mate Custom pipework by prestige exhausts in Malaga (Perth)

Quoted these guys before but here's some more fuel to Add to the fire vf1 http://www.streetquick.com.au/news/project-vf/project-vf-part-i-the-baseline Vf2 http://www.streetquick.com.au/news/project-vf-ii/project-vf-ii-part-i-the-new-frontier 8hp difference before bolt ons. Small difference...

Awesome drive mate. Sounded great

I fitted pacemaker 5387's and had them linked too a gts 2.5" cat back. Cost for pipework / magnaflow 200cell 30deg angled cats $800. Similar sort of work if you do This with the 340 headers. Then you'll need a tune.

Bought harrop otr in the end after watching the air inlet temps from the standard location. Yet to compare properly with the otr but have noticed temps drop a little more once on the move

No worries
