1999 Holden Commodore

I bought it new and put up with 16 years of it sounding like a hair dryer...now (Aug 2015) it has Hurricane Extractors into a 2 1/2 inch exhaust with hi-flow cats - sounds awesome - work done by Settlement Rd Exhaust in Thomastown, highly recommended.

Other than that, it's virtually standard, apart from:

1. Bill Lee in Perth (HDT WA Legend) put a cold air intake into it - not a growler over the radiator but it does growl! as well as a modest edit on the chip to give it some more guts.
2. I put 17x8 alloys on it - believe it or not, I saw Peter Brock talk at the dealer I bought it from when Holden were promoting the GenIII - his main advice was, get rid of the 15 inch steel factory and put some decent rubber on it otherwise you'll end up going sideways into the ditch - true more than ever now it has the hurricanes on it.

even has the VT exec tape deck still in it...although that is going soon.
