Aussie Exhausts

Does it include an SCT or nLund tuner so you can flash back for servicing?

Flashing it back to stock tune is worthless, they'll know you've tuned it anyway

@Barger I've looked at a very similair option in Sydney but probably go engine back DiFillpo option with tune. Did East Coast Customs give projected power increase and roughly how much is the package? Does it include an SCT or nLund tuner so you can flash back for servicing?

These guys are linked to Mustang Motorsports,I went to an open day and they put a stock v8 on the dyno then a phase4...I cant remember the figures as they then put a roush 680 on the dyno and that sounded insane with stupid HP
The origional exhaust is crap,Hurricane exhausts were there and had stock headers and theirs opened up and I gotta say the hurricane headers wrer awesome

Geez, I must be looking in the wrong spot I thought the price was ok. $7800 is install, tune, headers, cat to back and an intake. Maybe Roush trying to charge $8000 for a cat to back quad tip has made me expect to little for my money :-)

Anyone in the Sydney or ACT area got any suggestions of places they are getting good prices?

I am looking at a full hurricane exhaust with ceramic headers ,cold air intake dyno and warranty $6200...is this good value

I believe they can see how many times the ecu has been written to but they can't see the tune. it could have a been a dealer reflash / software update etc. Id rather have a stock one there than a obvious aftermarket. the dealer can at least go into bat for you if required.

Probably, yes. Headers are available from Pacemaker for around $1000, add full system $2500ish add cold air $? Add fitting (headers take time) add dyno/tune + warranty.
You're somewhere around the mark.
Certainly closer than some at $8000ish...

Does it really matter if your ecu has been tampered with so long as the tamperer is willing to fix any problems that occur relating to his tampering? Ford will not refuse to fix a faulty power window motor due to a tampered ecu.

We all know (or should) the consequences of modding and if you don't then it's going to be an expensive lesson for you.

I went to the Pacemaker HQ here in Adelaide yesterday and Damien kindly showed me around and explained their product.

I saw the headers for the Mustang. The left side is very conventional but the right is a crazy bit of modern art to fit around the starter motor, steering column and something else I can't recall.

Saw 10 pair, all in their blue heat paint and one pair off to KPM in the polished ceramic coat. Interestingly if you want the ceramic coat in black it costs more.

The Pacemaker high flow cats are also quite trick with the internal mesh set in a conical shape the right angle to allow maximum flow through.

Unfortunately they don't sell direct to the public and I've had one quote so far for $2350- for a pair of headers with the cats fitted and attached to the factory exhaust at the level of the central resonator.

Nice Michael...I have had lots of Pacemaker headers on various cars...always top notch parts....with a tune that will be around the 3000 plus mark....maybe in a couple of years time....

I don't claim to be an expert on this, but my understanding is that if you don't unload the tune and put the car back to stock, and then the dealer has to do a software update for whatever reason it can render the flash tuner useless. I am guessing that it looks to see that the last tune it uploaded matches the car it is plugged into so you cant use one device on multiple vehicles. How likely that is to happen I don't know, but if there is some service bulletin requiring a flash update and they don't know you have a non stock tune loaded you can end up with a bricked tuner. I guess guys who have used these would know more, but just something to be aware of.

Hi Guys,

Do you have anyone in Sydney you know that has fitted one of your 3" Cat Back Systems?

Are there two types?

Looking for a deep tone and from sound files, your system seems the nicest but just want to hear one in person.

Thanks in advance.

I had the COMP cat back on my car, there is also a street version, it was loud. Not stupid loud in my mind ,but still loud, not sure exactly how many db that is

I loved it at first, but after a while it became too much especially the cabin noise on longer trips. If the car wasn't a daily drive then it probably would have stayed it was pretty awesome. Now I have put the factory resonator back in essentially it is a MF COMP axle back system but I have the larger pipes from the original cat back system all the way to the resonator. Still hoping compare it to some other systems in real life, but just hope I don't find something that I really like a lot more.

If you fit the comp cat back you will know it is there!
Supercat Convertors are the local MF agents, may pay to give them a call.

Yeah it's a count, leaves the factory with one. If THEY have to flash it then they keep track of it on the system. But you'll flash to tune, then flash back to stock and the count will be 2 more than it should be. They will know that, so there's no real point in flashing back to stock.

They're not going to look at the actual tune itself to see if it's a stock tune, they'll just look at the count

GT350 valance and Ford/Borla exhaust

Has any one fitted this package to a Euro/Aussie spec car yet.
Have one coming and looking to benefit from the wisdom of some one who already fitted one and if there were any issues.

 

[RSPEC-015]

^^^ If there is a warranty claim for the power train and the dealer suspects the car has been tuned the technician from Ford will make a visit with his little black box and it's game over for that part of the warranty.

A lot depends on the relationship you have with the dealer but too often someone rolls into a dealership, other than the one they purchased from, saying they have a problem and usually denying they've tuned their engine.

[MENTION=20248]SPRTAN[/MENTION] has fitted one, I know he posted a video in the Facebook group, not sure if he did on here. I know there's at least one UK member that fitted one too

Interesting. So your measure of quality is a warranty as well as the fact they are ADR compliant and you are categorically saying that no other company has an ADR compliant exhaust?

It shouldn't be on me to correct you, you made the claim that you have the ONLY product that is compliant. You are making the claim you should be the one backing it up with actual fact.

What about:
Magnaflow?
Herrod (who advertise a completely ADR compliant product)
Hurricane?

I am sure some of these (or maybe all) are using your product but its a pretty arrogant sounding statement to make as a vendor on a forum populated by car enthusiasts who are more than happy to google these kinds of things whilst having a coffee

As to value we can leave this one alone as everyone here is well versed in the costs of these and other systems. All that will happen is it will degenerate into an argument over something completely subjective.

I would suggest regardless of your position as a paying sponsor/vendor that you listen to what the forum members are saying about your constant product pushing at every opportunity.

Maybe offer your advice and support to members about products and overall upgrades to the car rather than just pushing your products and using misleading statements. This way you will become a trusted SME that members will respect and come to as a source of advice(look at vendors like hypermotive and N4S who are both brilliant). This will then drive trust/sales of your product.

I again will clarify our comment was as follows

"Every Streetfighter Exhaust includes a 3 Year Factory Drive line Warranty and meets ADR compliance

No other company can offer this quality and value."


At this stage we believe no other company has an offering of a stand alone ADR compliant exhaust which also includes a 3 Year Limited Drive line Warranty.
Your comments are based on ADR compliancy only, and also insinuating our post to be misleading.
How is a business stating what we believe to be a fact arrogant?

We would have no problem and are happy to re-phrase if you find wording and post from another company that has the same offering otherwise please refrain from your continual misrepresenting of our company.
