Mine used to sound amazing like yours until it got defected in SA (for being 2cm too low) so it then had to pass emissions legally and basically go back to stock with a very mild cam.... so I'll just enjoy this video and miss how mine sounded. I had a custom exhaust and quad tip set-up but I full on cracked it with Vehicle Standards and took it all off now just a dual exhaust quiet SS. I'm still waiting for the defect to be cleared 6 months later....
I had an EPA test required on this. I basically put a standard SS exhaust on, filled it to the brim with steel wool and it BARELY passed, 95db at 3200RPM. But the tester allowed it to go through, as it was 'close enough'
....Awesome m8......my missus when she drives 'it'.....she always says to me....fk..this thing just wants go......you can feel it....n she aint no car person....but she loves gettin behind the wheel of mine.
I remember the vx hsv gts/gtsr that Jeremy Clarkson reviewed in one of his videos in 99 in the uk, looks a bit like the Vauxhall omega of the time with the ls1 5.7 v8, I believe the gts had 340 bhp and the gtsr had 410 bhp. Nice cars, but the vxr8 is in a different league.
My cammed VY LS1 uses 25L per 100km around town and 18L per 100km on highway through an A4 with 3200 convertor and 3.73 diff gear using ULP98 of course. and driving normally not aggresive.
@@AndrewMitchell001that's huge fuel usage. My VY HSV manual at 100kph averages 8.4Ltrs/100Kph. It's as far as I know stock 285Kw twin 3" no cats. Just headers and tail muffler after the diff. Was thinking about a Cam and ITBs for it. But if the fuel economy is completely lost, I might reconsider
Hey mate, The cam, OTR & maf removal, exhaust & cats + an underdrive kit matched up with the t56 was all it needed. It had a full twin 3" exhaust, large pacemaker extractors and I think 100 cell cats which were also 3" It had little to no restriction, with the manual; these figures were verified on two different dynos as well.
@@RicksWorld91just researching as after 11yrs with my 04 VY HSV Clubsport manual was thinking of a new Cam, and ITB's. What is needed to remove the MAF, to replace with Map if I was to go that route
Depends where you live. I have a car down here in the Eastern Suburbs of VIC that I use for all my mechanical works, and he is very competitively priced and quick too.
@@trueaussie3097 Fuk off and the rest champ just the cam and springs is about 1200ish to buy then you need to do lifters trunion upgrade because the stock trunions are weak and full of needle bearings new set of LS7 lifters timing gear and chain new high flow oil pump. i got mine all done with a freshen up for 4500 bucks in 2019 and thats without a tune. so add another 900 bucks for a tune.
Gets me in the mood for Bathst next weekend!
its so nice!! you've got a gem
I can only imagine how rare this specific VX is to be a SS, have a sunroof and have a manual gearbox
Yeah it was a lovely car to drive and always turned heads. Sold it at the peak of their prices and bought my xr50 turbo.
Because it ain't a real SS mate, and yeah it ain't authentic but still is cool to see and hear
@@demanrunner847 how can you tell?
Mine is all that and leather too :)
Sounds very good and healthy.
Ausome idle note!
👍

@@RicksWorld91 in SA it has to be under 90... By the app I got to get a rough idea I think it got to 87. I have a feeling it won't pass unfortunately

Nice sounds love the video. FTP
Nice vid mate , im subbed
Thanks for the sub!
What is the exhaust setup exactly? Nice ride btw
Nice vx mate I am looking for a manual LS1 would yours be for sale ?
Hey mate i actually sold it last year
Dam from the video looks like you still got it
@@SweetLoverrr_r Yeah unfortunately I didn't upload this when I took the video back in October last year.

What rims bro?
19” senator signature rims
Sweet vx bro. Did It come factory with the sun roof
Sure did mate, factory manual and roof
Hey mate how did you fit the vy steering wheel to the vx? Was it difficult much involved?
Hey dude, bolted straight up, no issues at all. Even the airbag uses the same clips.
Nice car man, does it have standard diff gears still?
It did yeah, held up fine
Looks clean man.. Not hating on ya but American's use HP Australia uses KW so 410hp would be close to 300kw wouldn't it
No hate taken, HP resonates better with algorithms when it comes to view count. Yeah, slightly over - made 307rwkw.
Smart man I diddnt think of it that way. Either way it's manual n beats my 207kw (l67) haha.
You'll regret selling this thing as everyone does in a few years time
No doubt. It just didnt fit into normal life very well
5 months later, regret slowly starting to sink in.
What fuel economy are you getting with this size cam?
I was averaging roughly 250km per tank of 98 octane.
Please don't sell it you will regret it
Hey mate just wondering if youve noticed what sort of fuel economy you get with that set up and if it ever runs hot? Cheers.
Howdy, never ran hot. Fuel economy was up the wazoo.. Roughly 250km to a tank.
