Maloo style exhaust for VY SS Ute?

[VL Executive]

Hi everyone.

Main question is, does any exhaust manufacturer (Di Fillipo, Manta, X force, etc) make an exhaust similar to the VY Maloo type exhaust in 2.5 or 3"? or is it somthing you have to get custom made.

Main reason is I want a system with the pipes both sides

Manta does them in 2 1/2" and 3" mild steel or stainless as i fitted one to a customers vy ss ute a few months ago

Most of the big players have the option of single or dual exits for utes and monaros...

How was it to fit up? I want to go ahead and get one but Im a bit worried about an exhaust hanger. I guess you have to make one, or get one out of a wreck and weld / attach it. And the body seam metal behind the RH Bumperette, does that have to be modified for clearance?

I recently bought a twin 2 1/2 system from DiFilippo for my maloo. I dont think its much, if any, more expensive than an ss system. And as for hanging the drivers side outlet, just copy how its done on the existing side. If your handy with a welder it should be very straight forward!

Need to do a bit of bashing on the metal to get it to fit, you can buy bumperettes to suit and I just helded a hanger on.

I have a 2.5" xforce

That's actually a picture I took of my manta 2.5" twin maloo system I had on my old ute - came with the hanger for the drivers side. Sounded nice and wasn't too expensive either ($1500 for the exhaust, cats and extractors)

Hi one_and_only04

Did you order the system direct from manta? Did you have to ask for the hanger?

Did you have to do any modifying to the metal behind the bumperette?

I ordered mine through a guy called south west performance exhausts in WA, it came with the hanger but for my present xforce exhaust on my SS I bought the hanger separately off him for about $50 from memory.
I had to tap the metal up a bit for it to fit on the passenger side, but you have to do that on the maloo's as well as their standard exhaust has a bump in the muffler to go around the same spot.
