exactly what im getting :)
the exhaust guy told me i have HM Stainless headers
are they any good or ? worth changing them ??

As my car is pretty much stock, the exhaust guy told me it was a waste of money forking out an extra $700+ for Pacies, just to keep the HM ones that HSV fitted. He said something along the lines of "You won't notice an additional $700 worth of sound or power gains, just do it if you do some serious engine work".

They seem good enough, then again I am no expert and took the exhaust place at their word.

It idles around 500-600rpm.

I'm trying to decide whether its been cammed. Its got a fairly lumpy idle (enough to shake the seats when sitting at the lights), a bit doughy down low but goes ballistic above 3000rpm. Also chews the juice more than a standard 5 litre as well.

nono, i want pics too. Really considering the $2000 or so to get a standard holden fitment roof put in my car, as long as they can do it the same as yours, with the trim cover.
