I've been thinking about getting some of those. Whats the $?

Yeah they are worth it, make it look heaps better. Can't remember the exact cost but I think the front was around $60 each and the rear $40 each or something like that. Holden had to put one of the front ones on back order so it took about a month to get. Only thing with the price is that where I work, I get discounts when buying genuine parts from any car dealer so if you go to Holden, you might get charged a little bit more, but shouldn't be too much more.

Not sure want I want to do at the moment. Next month, I should be able to drop the supercharged V6 engine into my VS Berlina, unforunately, this means that I can't drive it for 2 years because i'm on my P-Plates. Now I don't mind driving my WH Statesman but I don't want to get bored with it. So I was thinking of getting a twin 2.5 inch exhaust system with extractors, 2x sports mufflers and high flow cats, and maybe changing the rims (although the sigs are not too bad). Does anyone have any suggestions what I should do? Do you think that said exhaust system on a V6 would sound good or crap.

If I don't put the engine in my VS then the warranty will be useless and if there is a problem with it, I will have to pay to get it fixed....

Any help would be appreciated.

UPDATE: Got the exhaust done, cost $340 ($280 for exhaust and $60 for tip).

Here is a link to the video of the exhaust.
