Clarification regarding SS and SV6 exhaust

[panhead]

Looks about "2 fingers" past the bumper, the old school yard stick for exhaust tips! I don't think the VF2 SSVR ute tips stick out far enough and need extending a bit. They also hang a bit low I think, too much gap between the top of the tip and the underside of the bumper.

Larger diameter tips easily fix the problem.

I'd call that "perfect" tip placement, very nice!

I bought the mufflers in the pics attached prior. SS ute mufflers are not common here, thus these were not cheap. But it is sorted.

The shock came when ordering the two gaskets . $140 for a pair.

It seems fairly expensive, however, maybe my expectations were set too low.

I have just put a set of VF S1 SS Quad Mufflers on my V6 Calais today
I can now hear the exhausts and just noticed a slight vibration in when the door is open
and the Mufflers them selves are there any pro`s and con`s doing this looks great
test drive tomorrow

They are just the same as SV6 as the diameter of the openings is the same.
Only difference is they look better with quad tips.
There are factory SS mufflers that have dual outlets from the mufflers directly. They will make a difference.

can`t wait for the test drive tomorrow have to let the putty set over night
will it improve anything or just looks

The version for manual transmissions that have AFM disabled in the tune.

The extra exhaust-system flow (without the need to muffle the 4cyl-mode drone) was the reason for the extra 10kW engine output, wasn't it?

I thought the manual (non-AFM) had a twin pipe muffler outlet like a bimodal without the valve, not a Y piece and dual tips.

The AFM twin tip SS mufflers (two tips from one outlet) are definitely louder than the LFX stock mufflers.

I changed my Calais V rear mufflers for a set.

They sound identical at idle and low rpm, but are louder / deeper under load and mid range.

They sound good at WOT, but I changed back to the stock mufflers as prefer the quieter note.

I’ll keep a loud exhaust note for my V8!
