    Does your ve have an aftermarket cam ? Mine does and has an annoying little flutter at idle every now and then , heard it in a couple of videos of other cammed cars with 2.5" it never had it with the 3" .

    Exhaust Technology Adelaide exhaust opinions

    The business must have gone down hill big time , seen a lot of posts from unhappy customers . When they were next to kpm i got one of the original systems this was in 2009 and couldn't fault the work and it had junbl rear mufflers , sounded great but cop bait once the cam was changed , kpm's new...

    Exhaust Technology Adelaide exhaust opinions

    I had an earlier kpm system made by exhaust technology , couldn't fault the quality one bit , was a bit loud for my liking once I fitted a different cam . ended up getting one of kpm's new modular system in a 2.5" which made it easier to drive without getting looks from people as they could hear...

    Exhaust set up for cammed ss ute

    i would reccomend you if you did go down this path to go to vcm as they are there selected victorian supplier and get them to fit them to the vehicle and if it doesnt fix the issue they can then remove them , as trying to get a refund out of kpm wouldnt happen . they knew i was far from happy...

    Exhaust set up for cammed ss ute

    Theres not a lot to be gained with a cammed engine from going from 2.5" to 3" other than more attention from the cops

    Exhaust set up for cammed ss ute

    yeah im in the same basket as is stonex , i dont want it any louder but want the nice lumpy idle not the flutter lump lump flutter flutter **** im putting up with , was told it was because the cam is largish but stonex's cam is a fair bit smaller and still does it , so i have lost all faith in...

    pretty sure its a common thing to move the pcm into the cabin when fitting a turbo , do a search on ls1.com.au , what kit did you get ?

    Stone's 06 VE V8 Calais-V

    yeah mate new mufflers , just not kpm slc , as mine are new and they dont think theres anything wrong with them . dissapointing after spending so much money , there 3" mufflers are a different bolt pattern as i did mention trying them , but unless they changed the flange they wouldnt fit
  26. scott w

    Your thoughts on Pacemaker Headers.

    i have 1 7/8 pacemaker 4 into 1 extractors on my ve ss , there good value for money . what were you looking at getting tri type extractors to mate up to factory cats or 4 into 1s and performance cats , couldnt tell you an exact performance gain as i never had my car tuned with the full system...

    SSV Work in Progress

    i have the 232/234 in my ve ss m6 , its a great cam made good power , not sure i would want to drive it every day in heavy traffic . a change from the 3.45 diff to a 3.7 would make it a more pleasant car to drive and was recommended by vcm when i got the cam .

    VE 6.0l harmonic ballancer removal

    you will need to replace the bolt as they are torque to yield ( in other words you only use once ) , i used a longer piece of allthread and a nut to refit the balancer , then i fitted the new bolt . do you have a manual for an earlier commodore with an ls1 as its the same procedure , if you...
