Are you sure that for $1000 your not being quoted for a whole exhuast system including extrators...

Camikaze83 · 06-08-2006, 12:38 PM

yeh i beleive it was just for the extractors.. to be honest i dont know buck all about cars as this is the first car that i am slightly working on, (already added exhaust and filter). just seems like $1000 was a bit much for a hunk of welded pipe.

AWD Chaser · 06-08-2006, 07:32 PM

Mate, I'd just ring around and get a few more quotes. I live in Canberra, and got quoted $500 supplied and fitted for pacmaker extractors.... extra $200 for chrome...

Camikaze83 · 08-08-2006, 05:53 PM

far out only $500.. i was at the exhaust shop this morning picking up an air filter, and yes it is $1000 fitted and its just the extractors.. i could get the damn things shipped to melb from canberra for $550... hrmm i will ring around a few more places and find out, but if you dont mind giving me the name and contact number of the place you get them that cheap for even if it is in canberra it would be muchly appreciated.
im guessing $370 for an SS Induction kit installed is out of this world too because that is what i was qouted...

99XR6 · 08-08-2006, 06:28 PM

recently i have been quoted $360 for an ss induction installed, and $900 for a set of pacemaker comp headers and high flow cat...

You can pick up some Pacemaker Comp Extractors on ebay (inc delivery) for a reasonable cost. Then just get your exhaust joint to install them.

My 2.5" system with hi flow cat, extractors and tip set me back about $1010 all installed (NSW).

Camikaze83 · 08-08-2006, 11:26 PM

cheers for that mate, but unfortunately xr6 and xr8 parts prices are significantly different,but alas i have done some more research and think i can pick up a set of extractors in vic for around $550. its not $500 with installation included like in canberra but meh, sure as hell beats $1000

at the moment even saving $50 on a car part is a big deal as u always need that slab of scotch to help with the mechanical labouring of your loved toy

JeffAU1 · 17-08-2006, 09:39 AM

has anyone had an SS Induction Kit fitted ? If so, can u please post some pics... id love to have a look.

i've got 3" cat back done recently (she hums lovely notes) and was pleased with the results. would fitting hi flow cats and extractors really give it that much more growl?

XangNoi · 27-09-2006, 02:36 PM

I have just had my AUIII lowered and new shocks (rear) and struts (front) fitted by the guys at Pedders in Newcastle NSW - The finished job just broke the $1,000 mark

With no other engine mods - a set of pacemaker extractors, a suitable sports cat and a 2 1/2 inch exaust has made a noted difference, especially at mid-range

JeffAU1 · 11-10-2006, 07:40 PM

How many RWKW would you gain from fitting a 2.5" cat back exhaust ?

haha is that all...

bodes-sh · 11-10-2006, 08:18 PM

that's probably all on a standard tuned car, if you want more out of it then do a full exhaust, intake and then get either a flash tuner or an edit done

AdamVCT · 20-10-2006, 02:43 PM

can i just suggest their is holley hi-flo air filter id say it would be just as good as the k&n. its blue. its a fair bit cheaper. I'm gunna get this one instead of the K&N

AWD Chaser · 24-10-2006, 12:22 PM

Just an update - the link to the Performance Article is here (LINK).

Not updated, just the link got lost through the pages...

StealthAu · 04-11-2006, 09:05 AM

only read the first page of this so far, just wanted to say you can lower you au for less then claimed by everyone. If doing it yourself, less then $350 can get you springs, struts and shocks. With IRS I think it was an extra $10 or so.

sethdeacon · 10-11-2006, 08:35 PM

i raced my mate today (he has a stock vy ss commodore 5.7 and i have a stock series 1 au xr8) and for a great length of it i stayed at least 2 car lengths away. i know they're good for 245kw so what mods do i need to beef up the 185kw my engine without going forced induction

phibza_XR6 · 16-03-2007, 07:27 PM

hey has anyone had mods done by jim mock motor sport down in altona north. Looking to get some work done there, would be interested in some feed back! thanks guys

phibza_XR6 · 22-03-2007, 10:15 PM

so i take it no one here has had any work done by jim mock motor sport, well looks like i will be the first to on this site.

Had, not any more. They never touched the engine either, its still unopened.

KOUPE76 · 22-03-2007, 11:03 PM

Thought I'd post in here,
1st mod was G&D CAI DYNOED AT 141.9 kw

2nd mod was a full defillipo stainless exhaust system and edit by G&D Performance DYNOED at 161.9 kw.
Totally happy with the performance with such few mods and cost bugger all.

Yer thats what i thought i remember reading up when the car got the G&D treatment and you mentioned something about JMM and something about not going there again

Casper · 22-03-2007, 11:43 PM

G&D do all my car mods now. What was JMM has now been entirely replaced with G&D gear. I'm more than happy with the results.

AU2 Pursuit Ute · 24-03-2007, 12:36 AM

Sorry

phibza_XR6 · 24-03-2007, 09:44 PM

So casper you werent happy with the stuff you had done at jmm, i was looking at getting there dev 2 kit for the vct motor. but if there is something better for around the same price im all ears!
