I have a 2014 SSV Wagon. Amazing car and have been wrapped with it since I took delivery. Me being me though, I always wanted something more from it, perhaps for it to actually sound like a V8.

I decided to head down to GM Motorsport in Melton for a catback, intake and tune.

I ended up getting...

2.5 inch X-Force cat back
HSV Headers and Cats
Ramjet OTR Intake
Dyno tune

Let me say, I am absolutely wrapped with the results.

Dyno results ended up at 254kw atw and 570nm.

It pulls like an absolute train and the guys at GMM did an awesome job with everything.

The car actually sounds like a v8 now when the go button is pressed which is awesome, while almost sounding completely stock when cruising.

There is absolutely no drone at all.

I could not be happier with this setup.

Thanks to the guys at Gm Motorsport.

Annnnddd happy with the price too I reckon ;-)
Although from what I understand the HSV cats do sap power compared to full metal 200cpi aftermarket ones. That's my next mod, as soon as I can find an exhaust shop to modify and fit the barsterds...
