How much power loss would this be causing ???

It's like that to clear the parnhard rod I'd imagine

its not like that from factory guys, my vn never had that dint in it till i lowered it and tucked 15's, heard vibrations till i hit hallam road train tracks and the exhaust rattle stopped, raised the car later that month and HELLO there was the same dint

Im sure what Abba Fan means is that every commodore is dented like that in the same place - as if it were factory (when its obviously not) and making a joke about it.

TBH I thought you guys would be clever enough to spot he was making a joke...

And there will be no noticable power loss from it, an exhaust has to be crushed pretty badly before seeing any noticable loss. You probably would notice a power loss if it were something like a porsche 924 or 944, but commodore exhausts are pretty poorly designed already so a little crushed bit doesnt really make much difference.

BTW Back pressure is not something you want in your exhaust system, Read up on Helmholtz resonance.

No, I was serious. A factory VN-VS live axle rear muffler has that dent in it for the exact purpose of clearing the panhard rod.

Some aftermarket replacement OEM mufflers have that dent too, particularly Walker, who make the original part. Most others don't, and performance exhausts don't either.

I never said it wouldn't affect it, I said you wouldn't notice it.

I love the way you ALL think it's not factory.


Please explain, how EVERYONE has managed to get the EXACT same dent in ALL of their cars.

Because it is factory.....

Although, a larger than standard exhaust coupled with low suspension MAY dent the exhaust, but it wouldn't look like that, it would be more of a line mating up exactly to the panhard rod.

Sometimes exhaust places will put a dent in the exhaust to clear the panhard rod because they don't know how to fit an exhaust properly.

I'm agreeing with you

I know....at first I didn't see 'not' and thought you weren't, but what I said works either way lol.
