How much power loss would this be causing ???

[VEEARR]

G'day fellow commodore owners,
A few weeks ago installed a set of lowered King Springs and a set of Lowered GT Monroe shocks, since then the ride has been fantastic, like its on rails. Anyways, while i was under the rear end, i discovered that my exhaust has been crushed to approximately 2/3 of its original diameter, Ive had the car about 18 months, and have never bottomed it out to cause such damage, so how much power if any am i losing by this damage?
Id imagine the damage was cause by the swaybar that you can see just below the damage..... Cheers

That is factory, they are like that new.

It wouldn't be causing a noticeable power loss at all.

Bahahaha!! from factory ??? lol, nah man, your having a lend of me...... arnt you ??

My old vs v6 stock zorst never had anything like that lol

Not convinced that the exaust leaves the factory looking like that.

hah my stock system had that exact same dent in it and i had just assumed it occurred from the scenario you detailed. The power loss wouldnt be noticeable though

My old VNs original exhaust had that too.

OK , so it looks as if Holden made this dodgy thing on purpose. So your all saying that it has no effect on back pressure??? Then why didnt holden just put a 1 1/2 inch exhaust on it then ?

We didn't say it won't have NO effect. But your not driving a 600hp monster here.


If you want the best exhaust size/type for performance, wait for Not_An_Abba_Fan to reply.
