i am just about to pick up a 2014 VF SSV Redline. It has the walkinshaw exhaust already fitted. I'm not happy with the sound as I heard a W310 kitted Redline prior to seeing this one and it sounded amazing.

My question is, should I take it to walkinshaw and pay their huge premium to finish the Job ie OTR, Extractors n tune, or will any reputable exhaust place make it sound better by adding those themselves at a far more reasonable price?

Cheers

VF II SSV Redline
You need to take your car to a reputable tuner if you want it tuned, they can arrange the OTR and headers for you.

Just would to confirm what your saying - the vehicle you purchased ONLY has the Walkinshaw cat back exhaust fitted ?

you may or may not know that the Walkinshaw exhaust system is a re-badged Di Filippo system http://dpe.net.au/index.php?route=product/category&path=44_45

I would not recommend paying the premium for headers, tune & OTR by Walkinshaw.

The Perth members of this forum could shed some light as to what performance / exhaust shops to use.

Surely "Not an Abba Fan"(forum member) will give you a price / recommendation on the products he deals with.

The 310 has the headers and some sort of cai weather it be the side box or otr?
If you in Melbourne, go to c & a autofashion and have them to a tune on otr ($1200) if it doesnt have one already!

Already spoken to him and quoted for him to come down to me and fit 4-1's and cats. I know it will be cheaper than Walkinshaw.

Would some kind of modification be required to fit your system to existing catback exhaust if indeed thats what the OP has? No confirmation yet of what he actually has.

Difilippo headers and cats will cost you around 1700, as i said above, if its got the w310 pack, its got the dpe headers and cats?
All youll need if you dont have a otr is that and a tune?
