    Personally I would go with pacemakers I had them on vt and it was loud for a 6.

    And yes you can mod your car to a certain extent, just note that with an exhaust on a Holden and red p's your going to get pulled over a bit. But if you weren't doing anything wrong then no worries, cops just seem to target holdens lol.

    1. Pacemaker are good quality, been around for ages, good rep.
    2. It's illegal to have extractors on P's. Or any modification that increases engine/car performance.

    1. Why would you lose power putting an exhaust on?
    2. Technically, even a catback is defectable.

    At the end of they day, it's really about how you will drive the car and the mood of the cop.

    My car has a wide selection of items that any police officer could defect if they felt the urge. But because I don't drive like a muppet, the only time I have been pulled over in this is when I was driving with foglights on.

    Having said that, P plates are a cop magnet. When I was on P's even before all the mod restrictions there are these days I would get pulled over for RBT's every couple of months.

    Have a mate with a EF falcon with 2.5" Catback and Extractors always got pulled over for being a P Plater and no mention of the exhaust.
    I have a 2.5" Catback fairly loud, and get pulled over heaps due to being a Deso half the time :( no mention of exhaust.
    Even my friend drives a Pulsar Rice can, exhaust unbolted at the Cat back loud as f##k and drives around with half a christmas tree with the amount of lights. Only gets told to turn the Street Glow off.

    I have a vt with pacemakers and am on red p's live on the goldcoast and I guess I've just been lucky enough to have never been pulled over, green p's in 3 weeks lets see if I've put my foot in my mouth and jinxed it

    Sounds louder and better, not the best unless more money is on the table. You get a little power gain out of it, but I don't think you'll jump in your car, and flog it, saying omg faster now! :p

    That [P] Plate is a magnet.
    It will only take 1 time.
