If you just got extractors it would not be any louder but im not sure there would be a big difference in power/torque. Im sure you could get a full exhaust system that is not loud but usually you need a straight through system to get good gains. Any straight through system will be louder then stock.

If you want to tow stuff you should think even more about the VCM tune as the alloytecs have torque management bellow 3k that would affect towing performance.

You are certainly swaying me towars a VCM tune, When i do get around to putting a towbar on, do i need to worry about the suspesion or any other things that could crop up?

Not sure but i think you can just put the towbar on and start towing right away.

same colour as my exec :D bought at roughly the same KM too (I have 55k up on it now). Mines ex-copper though so I've got rear power windows and traction control, and is still under warranty until august :)

Get it tinted, I got midnight express from tint-a-car. Looks sweet. I'm also getting a new set of wheels with rudd money, but I'm just gonna get something stock holden (something calasis/sv6ish).

Also getting phreddys aux-in mod done this week (he's up in Brisbane!) so i'll be happy :D

Mines out of warranty, :( but thats ok, Ive thought about tinting but have seen so many old cars where the tinting has bubbled that it really turns me of it. Im curious however can i ask what tinting did set you back?


I use to drive an 1994 magna, and this thing is a dream compared to that. Im finding myself using any opportunity to drive it. Just backing it out the driveway is a pleasure.

Tinting wouldn't bubble for ages, long after you've got rid of her :) Mine came with a 15 year warranty. If I'm still driving my car in 15 years something is wrong :p The tinting was $300 if I recall correctly, from Tint-a-car. You could probably get a better price elsewhere....

I must say, do the tint. You'll love it :D

Haha I know the feeling. I went from a 1993 Toyota Camry with 300,000 k up on it to a 2006 VZ Commodore. Still feels like a limo to me! Mind you, the camry served me well, was a great first car.
