    I have the KPM Streetfighter on my VE, fitted by ET at their workshop. Sounds nothing like an X-Force than fcuk

    I gather that Exhaust Technology no longer makes the KPM products.

    Before my previous post I also Googled Dandenong Performance Exhausts and got nothing. Closest I got was Dandy Exhausts in Cheltenham Rd where I went a few times with my VY. Vinnie there is a nice guy and quite knowledgeable, but doubt he could do a VE system to match the sound of a KPM or DPE.

    Correct, and also for people who mistake volume of noise for quality of note
    And yes I have had an X-Force exhaust on an LS car.

    I just had a quick look on both websites, and if the ones KPM are advertising and selling are not exactly the same as the ones on the ET website (and for that matter the same as what is on my Calais), then I am going blind lol. Could be wrong though

    Components of the KPM SLC systems do come from China but the true KPM systems as I had on my SSV sedan and ute are made by Exhaust Technology who were next door to KPM before KPM apparently moved.

    They are definitely the systems to get and are I believe what Hos was referring to when he said they are no longer making them for KPM, therefore I would definitely go direct to Exhaust Technology for their Marko Gold system!

    Naturally you gonna say that mate, when you pay a premium you expect it to sound better than a cheaper system.
