VE SS-V Exhaust?

[seanssv]

Good point about youtube. That's where I decided on my Walkinshaw kit as a bloke in WA had his on there.

It is a good place to see what people have done to their car and see what you want to do to yours. I like to look and plan what is next. A charger is coming, as soon as the funds are available and the mrs will approve it.

I have a stock Ve ss and was looking into the walkinshaw 2.5 inch cat back exhaust will i need to tune my car to accomadate the change or it can be left as i dont want it to be illegal (epa) and dont want to void my warranty any ideas.
cheers

Cat back will be fine without a tune. Have. Hunt around though... I think walkinshaw use xforce cat backs (correct me if I'm wrong).You might be able to get a better price in the same unit, just without the W if that's the way you want to go. Walkinshaw has given me the highest quote so far of the places I've rung.

It's a shame alot of people get sucked into buying 'Walkinshaw' gear. They use other company's parts, rebrand them, then charge through the roof just for the name.

Thx for the heads up with the brand walkinshaw use good to know
Iam thinking of going 2 1/4 inch instead of 2 1/2 inch just because of the drone noise i have a stock afm auto would anyone know if the sound would be good dont want it loud just a better rumble than stock

Pipes are 2 1/4 inch standard. Of you don't want to change the pipes, just unbolt the rear mufflers and replace them with some redback straight through mufflers. Can do it yourself on your driveway in about half an hour for 400 bucks.

Any mods to the exhaust will have some drone when the AFM kicks in.

The twin 2 1/2 is prefectly fine for an AFM auto, it just comes down to what catback you choose...the cheaper the system the more drone it'll have. There's a few good quality systems on the market atm that wont break the bank...CHE, manta, HM Headers, Capa just to name a few. Don't bother with a twin 2 1/4 as that's what size the factory catback is.
