hey

My lady friend bought a VU 2001 3.8ltr holden ute and shes after a new catback exhaust. Even though its not a v8 she wants it to still sound mean.

I dont know anything about holdens but i was wondering if anyone knew any decent exhaust places in perth that would know what shes after for a resonable price.

Thanks

Brendan

Driver: a friend of mine is a great holden mechanic and can usually source good prices for upgrades.

He also charges very low for labour. If you are interested PM me and i will give u his number & tell him you are going to call. He lives in Parkwood - works very neatly and very fast. Other plus is he works after hours, so u can do it at night.

My dad got a exhaust upgrade for his clubsport and although it gave it a deeper sound there wasnt a huge change in the loudness ...... and no change in the performance as my mums car which is exactly the same with stock exhaust still kicks his ass ...... so when he recently ordered his new VY Clubsports he decided the upgraded exhaust wasnt worth it.

Just food for thought.

yeah good luck haha i know how she feels would like the R33 to sound meaner - at the moment it sounds like "One hand clapping" but performance wise the zorst does the job so i shant complain :( Good luck i hope she gets the sound she is looking for.

go for high flow cat, through to 2.5" piping to straight through muffler to 2.5" piping out, will give it a noticably different sound...

For gods sake REVN211.. please remove that avatar its making me sit here for ages mezmerized and im forgetting what im supposed to be looking for in this forum.. :(

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
