VE SV6 Ute
So I’ve got a set of rear muffler deletes to fit a VE Ute that I’m trying to sell. I’m pretty sure they bolt straight up to the series 1 VF’s as well but I’ve heard the rear muffler mounts on the series 2 VF utes were changed but I’m not sure. Does anyone know if this is true? Just need to know if VE Ute rear mufflers will fit series 2 VF utes.

Depends... VE ute rear muffler hangers were changed at the MY12 update, pretty sure VF and VF2 use the same position as MY12 VE's.
Earlier VE's are different.

Oh ok, they fit my MY10 VE ute so that might be a problem. Do you know how much they were changed? The mounts on the pipes themselves are just lengths of 10mm rod welded to the hotdogs so they should be easy enough to bend or re-weld in the right spot so long as the hangers aren’t all that different. What do you think?

I haven't had to do that, but it shouldn't be too hard to modify the rods to fit.
