Hey guys
I've made a few enquiries with the well-known's but no one seems to want to touch the AU V8 any more. I'm looking at putting a decent full system on the black AU and i'm wondering if someone can suggest a good high flowing system to put on it? I have paceys on the other one and a twin cat-back and it is pretty nice. Also any shops in melbourne to recommend? thanks as always

yeah it does AU Mont so i was bowled over when he kept arguing with me that it wasn't possible.. thought mine might have been some strange overly-custom job.
BHDOGS that's gotta hurt.. I just rang another shop who said yep no problem, we can do a twin lol. Got a quote on some pacey 4001's like my AU2 has, and a better flowing noisier twin cat-back for $1800 fitted. Not toooooo bad.

If you can be bothered driving up, Exhaust Bros in Ballarat did an awesome job for my old AU.

When I helped Rayban76 do his 175kw V8 wagon, he was able to get the pacemakers and cats off ebay second hand only 6 months old and a good price from Justin at Tuff Car Parts for a Redback 2.5 inch cat back system.
We then just fitted it in his shed within a few hours all just bolts up. |

$1800 for Pacey's and a Dual system is a reasonable price.
Dual 2.25" is definetely the way to go, I got a single 2.5" and regretted it. Sounded nice but strangled up top.

I get all my exhausts done at Professional Exhaust in Airport West. Never had an issue. Also does custom work.
