Thanks, have got quoted $550.00 from a company on Trade Me aswell, but not sure what brand, but thinking do I need them, at the moment the two headers go into one, so the flow is not great, but if I run two seperate pipes ( duel system) from the headers this flow will incress alot, just not sure it is worth the money. My worked 202 runs them, but here I was trying to get as much power out of it for proformance, but with the 3.8 v6 this is not the case, more than enough power left standard. As for the last  guy in your list that does the X-Pipe, this is who I delt with for my system, they are very good to deal with and used them in the past, postage was well priced so no need to buy local.

Cheers Bas

I'm fairly keen to do mine but need to find out whether they extend any further horizontally out from the engine than the stock headers as I have a limited amount of room to the side due to the midmount so if you buy some you can tell me!  8)

Yea, we all have a limited amount of room and I guess money I'm up to a grand as it is on the Exhaust and that's just for the parts....... and not my time putting it all together.

Bas, I can't wait to hear how your van sounds with the new setup.

I'm going to start gathering my exhaust bits shortly. I won't be assembling it till next winter so that gives me a bt of time to find the right bits at the right price.

Bought myself a 3 ton trolley jack this afternoon that I'm looking forward to using in anger and keeping an eye out for a better MIG than the one I've got for a good price too.

I just got the 2 cobies  behind my V6 and it sounds nice (single pipe), exhaust exits in front of rear wheel

on the subject of VN radiators, when i did my conversion i sent the rad in to get cleaned - it was stuffed but the radiator guy had the old VN tin type (inside of the plastic), which is like the earlier commodores. we just put a filler cap on top of the side tank. works a treat
There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"
