    Another exhaust question

    Actually I don't hence why I have SS mufflers (after a bit of trial and error with some others) Trust me if there was any drone what so ever with my current setup then I would change it. I fail to see how an OTR with a stock system + SS mufflers = drone but hey what would I know it's not like I...

    Another exhaust question

    A possible 25 extra KW and better drivability seems a shitload better to me then spending $600 on a cat back for little gain other than some droning. This is the second SV6 I have put a VCM OTR + tune and SS Mufflers on and and there has been zero drone with both so I am not sure where you are...

    Another exhaust question

    IMO spend another $200 and get a MACE VCM OTR + Tune and find some cheap SS Mufflers. That is the setup I currently have and it has completely changed the drivability and sound of my car not to mention the added power and fuel savings. Best of all there is zero drone!

    Another exhaust question

    The difference will be your car will sound rubbish and the drone will drive you mad :)

    The OFFICIAL VE ALLOYTEC V6 SUPER MASSIVE FUN HAPPY TIME exhaust thread!!!!!!!11!!!!

    I had Manta Sports Mufflers on my Series 2 SV6 Sedan and they sounded good but droned a bit to much for my liking. Would be even worse on a Wagon. They sound heaps better than the Lukey Sports Mufflers which I tried in the past. Best sound in my opinion with no drone is the SS Mufflers.

    2008 VE SV6 sedan Exhaust Advice Needed.

    I am also running SS Mufflers. Sound got a lot better when I installed Manifold Insulators. OTR going on soon which again should improve the note. I have tried a few different Mufflers and SS are the only I have found which do not Drone.

    MACE/VCM OTRCAI for VE 3.6L SIDI V6

    Yep definately not that difficult to install!! Our downfall was excess beer consumption. My engine now sounds loads better and I can definately feel the power increase!! And that is without the revised tune :)

    MACE/VCM OTRCAI for VE 3.6L SIDI V6

    Yeh I am not looking forward to pulling it off again although I think I might haft to sooner rather than later as I forgot to put sealant on top of the spacer :( Steve said it should be fine but I would feel much better knowing it has been sealed up properly. I think the OTR is such a snug fit...

    MACE/VCM OTRCAI for VE 3.6L SIDI V6

    I think its safe to say that I tried every way possible!! Ended up placing the MAF Adaptor onto the throttle body first then somehow pushed the OTR into place with brute strength and ignorance!! We had to do this a couple of times as the first time we put the MAF Adaptor on backwards :/

    MACE/VCM OTRCAI for VE 3.6L SIDI V6

    Me too! Did you have as much fun as I did trying to squeeze the OTR between the throttle body and front end? A snug fit indeed! I also managed to lose a push clip as you can see from the centre of the OTR :/

    VE SV6 Wagon Vibration

    Yeh myen is also intermittent. Holden guaranteed me it was uneven tyre wear and that changing to a new set of tyres would fix the problem. He then said I shouldnt change them just yet as their is plenty of tread left - By the time the tread is gone my warranty would have ran out so ill be...

    VE SV6 Wagon Vibration

    Thanks for the info Sean880! The car is on the factory 18" rims and Yokohama S-221 tyres. Personally I do think its the dealers problem as they have sold me a car with an obvious fault. If you are buying a car which is less than a year old with 18,000 on the clock from a dealer you would expect...

    VE SV6 Wagon Vibration

    Had my wheels balanced at Bob Jane yesterday and the vibration is still there!! Guy at bob Jane said the only option would be to change the tyres and wheels :/ Car is still under warranty for a year so I guess ill be taking it back into Holden and telling them I do not want the car back until...

    VE SV6 Wagon Vibration

    Thanks for the feedback guys. My partner took the car in while I was away at work and got it back from Holden and all they told her was "we think it was a faulty wheel bearing" I will be going back in today to have a chat because after driving the car for the past 3 days it is obvious the exact...

    VE SV6 Wagon Vibration

    Hi All, Recently bought a series 2 SV6 Sportwagon and have noticed a vibration through the car when travelling at around 70km+. I have read this is a common problem which obviously has not been rectified in the Series 2. Its still under warranty so ill be taking it back but just incase...

    good tyres ?

    Anybody else find the MA-Z1's to be quite slippery in the wet?? I never broke traction or slid in the wet with the Potenzas even with only 15% tread on them but have found myself breaking traction and sliding round a bit on the MA-Z1's...

    Lukey mufflers for VE

    Had a set on my SV6 and they droned a little to much for my liking. Guy I bought them off had them on a SS and he said it sounded good but a little loud.

    Panel Filter vs CAI (for V6)

    Pretty sure Monaro327 tried an OTR and lost 5kw compared to the Airhammer.

    Alloytec 170 vs Alloytec 190?

    My take on the modding V6 vs buying a V8 argument. I personally bought the SV6 because I loved the SV6/SS shape but did not want the SS simply for the fuel factor aswell as the extra $'s to buy it plus insurance etc... Yes I know they can be economical when driven correctly but if I had that...

    VE battery problem

    I think I have just had this problem. Woke up this morning and my battery was dead flat so I have jump started it and taken it for a drive. Whilst driving I could hear my stacker sorting through Cd's and I had not even touched it!

    Very dissapointed.... :(

    Yesterday I managed to source some VE Clubsport Mufflers that had done 100km's for $100. Bolted them up last night and I am very happy with the sound. Car sounds the same at idle but under accleration there is a deeper note and a nice subtle rumble plus zero drone. Exactly what I was after!

    What do you think of these mufflers?

    IMO any drone is no good.

    Best Aftermarket Exhaust system ?

    Kinda dont care about the drone?? Trust me it's only a matter of time before that changes!

    Abit more noise

    From what ive been told cats wont make it much louder but will change the note slightly. Probably be a good idea to change them regardless of the note as they are probably restricting the air flow now that you have headers.

    red back mufflers

    Supersports

    Yeh I never thought I would even contemplate paying $4000+ for rims and tyres when you can get plenty of packages for around $2000 but I have a feeling I would regret not getting the Supersports later on.
