“Ok mate,
Finally I have some questions furthurmore
Where abouts are you located?”
We located in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Lalor to be exact.
“Can I come to you for mechanic work, for example can I get you to install your purchased items for me, for instance I buy a cooler, or rockers are you able to install, as I do not have a lot of time for a DIY project.”
You normally can, however we’re flat out with other developments at the moment. So I would have to kindly decline the offer. In saying this though any trusted mechanic can install the smaller bolt on products with ease. Otherwise we do have a few workshops across the country that we can refer you to.
“I need my coupler fixed before anything, if your able or someone with MACE (a mechanic with experiance as most of you are, if there is more than 1 person), would you be able to help me with that?”
As above, however if you let us know were you’re located then we can refer you onto someone who can do the work for you.
“Whats the deal with a ported blower, you have on your site to achieve the results, you need a bunch of mods inc. a ported blower, Do youse specialise in this or do I need to see a specialist, whats the price on that?”
We do offer blower porting, however would recommend considering this as one of your later mods, inconjuction with say and intercooler. The price to CNC port a blower starts from around $330.
“Do you know any good, trusted, bang for buck exhaust places, last one I went to I was not to impressed, good price though, but left bolts unscrewed, rattled constantly underneath the VT, Poor effort.”
Yes these guys
ABC Exhaust & Towbar Centre
They’re not a fancy shop BUT they do quality work at very reasonable prices.
“Well if you are able to give me a hand with that, wouldn't mind starting of the statesman, I am thinking full mace as I dont like mixing stuff up e.g. FIT, MACE, etc.”
I can certainly give you some advice for tacking each job so that’s not a problem
“My mechanic/panelbeater who is a trusted future father-in-law (to be), is not 100% sure with L67 M90 only serviced one, and mine is the only one he has really worked on fixing up, so needing a little more experiance when coming to modifying it.”
I think you guys need to give yourselves some more credit. If you pace yourselves and think things through clearly I’m fairly confident you’ll be right. The fact that your father in-law to be is a panel beater as well means that he’d probably do an excellent clean job at install a front mount and pipe work etc.
That price is a fair amount.
You can spend half that amount and easily achieve +80% of the result of the setup and it would probably be quieter.
The custom twin price is good (look for an off the shelf solution for less price), however to keep costs you can use an extractor like the one below
HOLDEN COMMODORE VS ECOTEC 3.8 V6 HEADERS EXTRACTORS - eBay Extractors, Exhausts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 22-Jul-10 15:26:28 AEST)
And orphan factory LS1 cats would be the way to go. Sure they won’t flow as much as the aftermarket setup however they’re cheaper and will sound better.
In regards to exhaust systems though PM Not_An_Abba_Fan for some other prices.
In summary though, if you’re planning on having the fastest supercharge V6 in the country then 2k is not unreasonable. If you want a quite, quick bang for buck system for your streeter you should be able to do better on that price by using different components based on your requirements.
Cheers
Steve
