Got it done at Dandy Exhausts in Dandenong on Cheltenham rd! They're awesome...fast, efficient, well priced and you cant even tell the exhaust has been touched the tip doesnt sit any lower than it did when I took it in. Try them I dont think you will be disappointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read it is better to get it mandrel bent and flanges put on so it can bolt straight in. Prob cost more but if you are unhappy with the new center muffler you can bolt the old center muffler back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more than happy to organise but no stuffing around only serious interest. If we could get them for say $120-130 that would be tops. PM Me, looking at around a week or two's time.

Toxic Beast Member 514 Member For: 18y 4m 22d Gender: Male Posted 10/08/07 08:00 AM Share Posted 10/08/07 08:00 AM Can I just check with all the people who have had their muffler replaced with pipes or hotdogs recently in melbourne. ARe they refering to a cut out job and then a weld of new pipes?cuz I'd pay $150 for new bolt on from flange to flange, not a cut out job Called up PErformance exhaust and they quoted $140 for press bend and dandy was $100 for press and $150 for mandrel.. Drove 50km to dandy zorts and when they were bought to cut it up.. and im like uhh I didn't want to cut up my original system..just seeing what everyone else has done.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad drove it today without knowing I took the centre muffler out and because he drives like an old man he didnt even realise any difference in the sound haha I am however going back to dandy exhausts tomorrow to get my centre muffler back JUST incase I do ever want to put it back to stock, but im very happy with the result I can even hear the turbo spool alot louder and feels more responsive.

Toxic Beast Member 514 Member For: 18y 4m 22d Gender: Male Posted 14/08/07 08:31 AM Share Posted 14/08/07 08:31 AM I got this mod done 2day at daalder exhaust in Boxhill. & I'm very happy with it. It sounds better in a manual, as you can rev it out a bit more. And it pops and burbles in every gear, EVEN on the freeway in 6th gear which is funny.But my friend that was with me thinks it pops a bit too much.. So I think I'll be hpapy with this exhaust for another 5 or 6 months before I look for a full system.and I'll put up youtube links of the car with an the muffler and without the muffler up maybe 2moro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
