05 non-VXR exhaust

[Lexx]

I know that twin exit exhausts cannot be fitted the 04 cars due to the fuel tank location.

My question (which I cannot seem to find the answer too) is can a duel exit exhaust be fitted to the 05 model? As from what I understand the fuel tank had been moved in that production year for US regs.

The answer to this will make a big difference to what cars I go look at.

AFAIK, all models that have the repositioned fuel tank came with dual exhausts as standard.

Not quite sure what you are asking as you appeared to have answered it yourself.

All facelift Monaro VXR and CV8s 05 model / build (small boot / tank in boot / high fuel filler cap) have dual exit exhausts as std - 6.0 VXRs had twin pipes either side and 5.7 CV8s larger single pipes either side from factory, but a lot of them have been upgraded to WP / Wortec tail finishers

All '05 MY SHOULD have came with split dual exhaust. '04 MY only in the US.

I was asking as up until this point I wasn't aware that 05 non VXR cars had duel exits.
Thanks for clarifying it for me.

Not sure, but I thought all the cars that can have a dual exhaust, already have one fitted as standard (VXR and CV8). If the car you are interested has a single exhaust, then it's a 2004 build in my opinion.

Were you looking at the 55 plate CV8 with supercharger?

It has the facelift bonnet, but only one exhaust outlet, so is just a late-registered car.

It wasn't specifically that one I was looking at, there must be a number of late registered cars about and it caught me out. Better to seek clarification here than waste my time viewing a car.

You will find 04 model single exit exh cars reg on 06 / 56 regs !! so yes be careful of model / spec

Yes there are, and I feel sorry for you having to try and pick out what is what. Many of the early cars have had bonnet replacements (for the nostrils), which doesn't make your job any easier. The exhaust is really the biggest external clue as to the age of the car.

Why is the twin exhaust a 'must have' for you?

Mostly it's an aesthetic thing. Probably something to do with owning the R8 previously. I just think double twins look better. Horses for courses really.
I'll be getting a custom AAS exhaust with cut outs again, and for that set up I prefer the twins.

[preciousmetal]

Easiest way to check models is the fuel filler position - tells you if big boot single exh or small boot dual exh

04 pre-facelift model single exh



05 facelift model dual exh

[Lexx]

Thanks for that tip on the fuel filler.
Kinda like the 300zx I have now spotting LWB or SWB.

Hello mate, nice to see you're thinking about getting into a Holden again.

If you want to hear what a VZ CV8 sounds like with a full AAS system including headers and QTP cut-outs, just give me a shout and you can have an eyeball at mine.

Remember to bring your ear defenders

That'd be perfect that mate.
I'm away to France for a few weeks, and then back at work for a few weeks in Scotland. I'll give you a shout in a month or so if that's ok?
