VE SS II
Bought this sv6 in Dec 08, making it an MY09 model. Phantom paint, red trim interior.

Modifications:
Aesthetics - SSV Tail lights, 20" SuperSport Wheels, Lowered by 30mm (with King Springs only)
Intake - Airhammer CAI, MACE Manifold Insulators
Exhaust - Pacemaker Headers, Hi-Flo Cats, stock stainless steel 2.25" exhaust (with hotdogs & crimp taken out), Redback Rear Mufflers with custom tips

I can see myself changing the clutch in the near future and I would get a tune if they ever come out with it, which when they do I might invest in a CAPA supercharger, but thats just a thought... The note is great (thanks monaro327), the springs are settling, the fuel economy is starting to pick up and the torque increase is surprising.

Bang for Buck in terms of torque would have to be the MACE Manifold Insulators ($130) and/or the Airhammer CAI ($400) - You'll notice the torque increase with these two, especially with the throttle response.
