VE Headers Time

[Curtis-R]

Well we are going to give these suckers a fly on the SS next. Will have them fitted one day this week.
These are the X-Force 4 into 1's with Metal Substrate converters.
The cats are high flow and the overall quality seems nice.

Will of course let you know the results ;)

Yeah, saw them yesterday - look very nice!! Will be interested in your results. Do you know the CFM flow rate for the cats? Also very interested to see how low they end up hanging.

[jkgmh]

Curtis will your Powersound catback bolt straight up to these cats or does some modification need to be made ?

JK

[mitchell_m45]

they look sick

[brentonsav]

saw these in the flesh on saturday curtis and man they look sharp...
should increase the sound and performance of your car.
cant wait to see these on and the results from it...

Mate, they should just bolt straight up.. Will find out later tomorrow anyway! :)

No doubt the dyno will be warmed up to see how it goes with the headers / cats on... :)

Firstly a HUGE thanks to Big Rob and Chev for taking the time to help fit these babies. There is no doubt those two are great to watch in action :)

Some pics and of course the result.. 261.2 RWKw's & around 620Nm's Torque.

Stoked with the result especially given it is not tuned yet. Tune is coming very shortly.

So out with the old..

God that's ugly.....

Excellent result there Curtis. How's the sound now, any deeper and also any noticeable difference to drive ?

JK :)

A set of gauges would've got you to 262rwkw... :rofl:

[TUFFIE]

What an awsome result mate and it certainly looks the goods too...
Chev and Big Rob.... what a grest bunch of blokes....:smilesandbanana:

[mustanger]

Good stuff there Curtis :) Looking good.:thumbsup::woot: Cheers John

[Super_Matt]

Congrats mate interested to see how it goes after the tune.

[JT]

great result Curtis,well done to Chev & Bigrob.
Who's arm is holding up the header,it must have been cold today if Chev was wearing a jumper

haha JK yes don't worry the gauges are on the list. In fact I would have them now, except I decided to go the headers first..

The traction control light is definately coming on a lot more! Chev took her for a spin as well :) Sounds like a V8 SuperCar! haha

no,only Chinese

Nah mate Carlton Draft was on the menu tonight ;)

[chev]

Well what a difference this mod has made. I have no doubt that these figures would not be achievable without Big Rob's cai mod. For $150 the big fella can perform this mod on a given Saturday. Well done Curtis and thanks again for us using your VE as a crash test dummy:bow: Cheers Chev

I'am sure if you shout the air fair, the big fella would come over

[brentonsav]

awesome result guys...
might need a cooler marketing name than "big rob mod" though.

should be good to see this tuned, 6L's are the way of the world by the look of it!

[big rob63@Chevs]

I'am sure if you shout the air fair, the big fella would come over

not next week mate i'm in QLD
ps still no chatbox:bawl::bawl:

[VXSS346]

So what's this Bigrob mod, Bigrob?:confused:

[Alex(AUS)]

AWESOME RESULTS GUYS ... IMAGINE WHEN IT IS TUNED :o


So what's this Bigrob mod, Bigrob?:confused:

Exactly? What is the Bigrob mod?

Also, what was the improvement over exhaust alone?

Thanks,

Alex

Good job Chev & Rob. Gee those X Force extractors look a quality item, with no lose of ground clearance either. Looking at the std cats, it is a wonder that they have any reasonable flow at all. 15 degrees, gee you guys are keen working at night. Seems like you enjoy all that cold air Curtis!!

[zozza]

Well done lads, that's a fantastic result....... and untuned even:bow: Don't ya just love when christmas comes early Curtis??:xmas:

cheers
zozza

[throttlehappy]

untuned, thats f*ckin great
and i thought 540 nm was good lol

[macca33]

Good result there Curtis and typically, great work from Chev and Rob.

Hmm, it will be interesting to see just what difference a tune will make........

Cheers,

Macca

[Alex(AUS)]

I wonder how much there is in the cats alone? It would be great if someone could test this before replacing the headers and cats together ...

Thanks,

Alex

[black vxss]

Very nice. I've been tempted for a while so I think I'll have to get them done...:)
Did they change the exhaust note much?

[Uncle Tone]

I wonder if they will fit on the stock catback :hide:

[Curtis-R]

Thanks everyone for your positive comments! Much appreciated. It's nice to get the good results from this combo and the sound of the whole system now is nice and meaty. Throttle response feels even better and the torque gain (free power) is very noticable through mid range.

AFR's were actually improved and seemed very consistent.

If Christmas came early Zozza then Chev must be Santa and Big Rob Mrs Clause! HOHOHO :woohoo:

UT, Im pretty sure they would just bolt straight up the standard system. Depends on the flange/join but I can't remember how the standard system looked.

[shep]

I wonder if they will fit on the stock catback :hide:

Hey Tone, didn't the catback fit onto the stock headers and cats?

Shep. :yup:

[VZGEN4]

Fantastic results there mate, what was the damage for this setup? PM me if you like.

[Jargle]

those results are nearly as good as your avatar Curtis::bow:

[fastestls7]

GOTTA LOVE THOSE TITTS CURTIS
those results are nearly as good as your avatar Curtis::bow:

[Panelman]

Hey Curtis..... 261 and counting! Man, that torque figure is unreal too. I'm soooooo jealous of your gains, and, even if ya don't get too much more power out of that 6Ltr, I bet my left one your torque should be up around 660-680 with the tune.

Mate, it's just outright sadistic and awesome awesome awesome. CHEV, ROB.. nice work.

Well done, and see ya soon.
:bow:
