is this with or without the x pipe?

[stigmundfreud]

hang on, axel back? Is this just the rear silencers and connectors or is it a full cat back?

[ringram]

Benno, Im surpised you havnt sold the vxr8, bought another VXR monaro, sold that, then bought a Bathurst vxr8 in the last month.
You change your cars faster than stig changes his underwear!

[stigmundfreud]

to be fiar, I am on my 4th car/change of pants this year

[Bonnie and Clyde]

Stig you dont even own four pairs of pant

[bennno]

As per thread title, I have sadly had to cancel an order for a pair of VXR8 magnaflow silencers from the UK distributor.

This company now has a set in stock and will supply the first set ordered for £425, normal RRP £600. http://www.nemesisuk.com

Adding further info in to this, here is a picture of the exhausts - stainless quad 3" tails.



These are a simple fit as they just replace the axle back section to provide a nice sound, its already well documented on here that the original exhaust is efficient but just lacks sound.

still interested but are these the same diameter as standard for the connection?

[stigmundfreud]

have emailed them to say I will take them, if yu have a direct contact there can you let them know I'll have them (unless someone else gets there first) as I am in Lichfield tomorrow and can collect

[bennno]

Speak to Guy.

Having run without back boxes on my R8 (as a test) I doubt these would give most people the noise they are looking for, I think the secret is in shipping out the middle boxes and then fitting some nice rear boxes like you have shown here, not just rears alone, just IMHO

[Magic919]

Looks like they do cat-back as well #16887.

I tend to have to agree with this statement, I have a Monaro 6.0 VXR and was only happy with the sound untill I removed all of the 5 silencers fitted as standard and am now running just 2 smaller ones at the rear!!!!

Would've been interested in these myself, but looks like i've missed the boat

Have run my VXR8 with washers spacing out the rear muffler flanges just as a test, made a bit more noise but prob not enough for most peoples taste it seems

If and when you do get them could you post pic's & maybe sound clip?

Thks

[bennno]

Am going to back out of this, on refletion the money would be better spent elsewhere for me.

Another point I just confirmed. Standard exhaust = 2.25 inch, this is a 3 inch pipe chances of their being a mis match problem? IS this the real reason you backed out benno?

[chargerman]

I'll give these guys a call 2mor then to find out the situation regarding tube sizing

If all sounds ok looks like i may be the guinea pig for the fitment, unless someone else knows different

I can always get Hayward & Scott to get them to fit worse case, they've done a few exhausts for me in the past

thnks
