    Massive reduction in drone with the J pipes fitted.
    Getting the rear mufflers changed to magna flow single in and out to chase a better note now.

    Re: Supercharged HSV?

    Just wondering what they are worth and if they hook up to any after market set up? Say my DF 2.5" jobbies. Also interested in what they do to the sound.

    Was keen to do a quarter wave length pipe mod (essentially what these are) to my exhaust but couldn't work out where to add the extra pipes without causing clearance issues.

    Will try to get some pics but they can be made by any reputable exhaust shop.
    Rob Bliss here in Brisbane is excellent, highly recommend him.

    Any comments on the change in sound? Both inside and outside the car?

    Re: Supercharged HSV?

    Sound is better, crisper but power feels way down at the top end. Getting a dyno run tomorrow but it must be significantly down for me to feel it, unless there is something else going on. It's barely breaking traction in 2nd now, something is wrong. Had a good look underneath and and looks like the outlet from the mufflers has been reduced down to well below 3 inches compared with before (nothing to do with the J pipes) since we went to a single in, single out muffler. I think Rob might be forgetting we are dealing with a 750hp LSA and not a 500hp LS1 or LS3, so it is going to need the twin three inch to be as free as possible. I am sure he'll sort it as he seems that sort of bloke.
