VF Series II IS HERE

[Stevieboy34]

Can someone explain how this new fan dangle exhaust works? The part about it plumbing to the firewall or something? If it's so good I wonder why aftermarket exhausts have never done it. Or if you could use the idea on something custom?

From Wheels article..

Holden benchmarked cars that included the fire breathing AMG V8 models, and developed an under-bonnet sound enhancer for the SS-V that sends noise into the cabin, too. Make no mistake: this will be genuine noise, not an artificial soundtrack as per the BMW M3, for instance. Holden says that drivers also get a flurry of noise when they stomp the loud pedal, so that the fun’s not all for those getting blown away on the pavement.

Will it be like my 69 Cooper S where the 45mm Weber sat behind the speedo and you could hear the butterfly's open?

It looks a little...

.. my 3rd company car when I was at GMH (as it used to be)
was a nice new VB SL/E '308' pack.. 5litre M21 4 Speed but it had the G70 diff (2.6 ratio)

Thing broke the state speed limit in 1st gear... 120kmh was impressive
but it took much more than 10 secs to get there

My old man had a silver VH SL/X 253 auto as a company car and I fell in love. Years later I had an ex copper VH that I rebuilt the 308 in with a T400 and it was awesome!

I'm guessing it'll be like the difference between the wiggly pipe in VT and going the two-hole mod or changing to the MCAI. Once the intake side was opened up, the experience of nailing the throttle was much improved!

I remember the interiors in those VB & VC SLE's used to have a unique almost solvent like scent to them.

The one significant difference is the AMG’s don’t need an under-bonnet sound enhancer with a pipe plumbed to the firewall or Baillie exhaust tips with a hole in the top to let sound resonate through the boot and back through the floor pan to achieve their in-cabin sound.

In saying that I’m very happy with Holden’s effort and will line up for one, though I think that exhaust will be binned for something a bit more substantial.
