Time to close the Varex.

Hehehe I'm with ya!

option 1 - Put a stocky on

option 2 - Steel wool! (dodgy, plus sparky ember things will fly out your hole on WOT...heheheh hole)

option 3 - get a custom legal exhaust made up

option 4 - i can't think of anymore options

Option 5, Varex damn you! Illegal though :P

My auto reviewer mate has a 480kw ve e2 walkinshaw ve at the moment. I just watched him take off before and i haven't heard a car that loud in quite some time. Once the valves in the exhaust open, you can hear this thing miles away.

This is a factory system, how will this car fair against operation pipedown?

Is it safe to say that the above mentioned car would be waved through without worries despite being signifiantly louder than the 90dB law?

There is no such thing as a Walkinshaw VE E2. He has a VE HSV E2 with a walkinshaw upgrade kit consisting of aftermarket parts.

Quote from the walkinshaw site:

"Few can claim to know Commodore and HSV cars like Walkinshaw Performance. Our range of products have been evaluated for their genuine contribution to improved performance and vehicle dynamics."

Therefore, if it is not the factory HSV exhaust, and its over the db limit, it is illegal plain and simple.

This is the upgrade kit you are talking about:

Yep that's the one. I apologise, i don't know a lot about commodores. In any case, unreal car, haven't heard anything like it.

is their any way of making the exhaust a bit quieter without those ugly silencers ???

you make an exhaust flange out of some steel sheet and drill a few holes in the center, then bolt it in and get an extra gasket flange for it.

you will have shit power same as a silencer after installing it

Tried the steel woool up the exhaust on my modded Ls1 powered VU Ute...... worked really well ( reduced the noise by about 15% I would say ) until........... the bloke doing the testing held it at the required revs and bits of wool started flying out .... one large chunk actually flew out and landed square on his microphone stand....... he was far from impressed.

The result a brief stint with a saussage muffler.

fkn classic! :D

YAY, now we can get rid of all these f**ktards with there fully sick cannons, an exhaust can be leagl and flow good power, no need to obnoxiously loud.

last time i heard the mic must be placed at a 90 degree angle to the exhaust and be 1-2 meters away, tell the f**ker to learn how to do his job.

I dont have a cannon either....in fact no muffler at all LOL.. :(

Now if only the damn truckies would turn those horrendous jake brakes off in my area...I'd be able to hear my own exhaust note. :(

jake brakes sound good in the tunnel, i only drive a merc rigid tho so its not loud, i do use it when i go through moe and morwell though just to try and wake the slack pricks up at 11am.

hahahaha :(

oh no you didnt.....................

say the M word :(

lol, i did, twice, im resisting the need to take moccies with me every day, the fact that i dont own any is helping the cause.

never drive on a sat night unless its close by

yer you got a point- but seriously if you need to go out you should be able to lol i reckon that over the next week just keep it low key until the "pipe down" is over. Plus if your exhaust is rediculous, well maybe you would get done regardless on which day of the week it is.

last year i got raped in the arse quite hard with my evo. Had 320kw at all fours with 44mm wastegate, screamer, td07 25g...the works. Epa hated me for life. Carbon emissions well...you dont wanna know heh. A lesson well learnt and a very very expensive one!

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
