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.. :(

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
