Herrods was a quick blat up the ring road from my cousins place, so that was handy, not far from the Hume heading into Melbourne for those who might venture down for some work. It's a fantastic workshop, here's a shot from the outside.
Before you ask 'what's the yellow blurred thing', it's not something you're supposed to see until the Sydney Motor Show so you'll have to wait until you see it properly. Sufice to say, it's very very nice, especially the wheels.
After a small delay waiting for the high flow cat, the exhaust was fitted by Ashley who works part time for Glenn Seton, taken for a fang by Rob to pick up some parts (used in the blurred yellow thing) then dynoed by Rob.
Here's the result! About 123kW stock (with the bigger XR8/T-series snorkel) and about 136kW after the headers/exhaust fitted without any ECU learning. Since these are simply numbers, they fail to indicate that the car is now much better to drive, and sounds like an XR6 should!
Nice Dyno Read Venom S. Can you tell me if the Ramp Up used for the Dyno run was set at 100 ?? Also what gear was used for that particular reading ?? Curious ???

Engine bay pic #2. Obviously, the heat shield hiding the original headers had to go, but with the HPC coating the temps are cooler than original setup. Looks much better, I reckon!
So have you tested the headers yet to see if they are cool enough to touch after just 10 mins like what Herrod told ya
