LSQ Build - Part 13 - FIRST START UP and 2.5" Stainless Exhaust System - LS Swapped HQ Holden

[@Faza-qj7ny]

Watched the whole series in one go. Great content, would love a hq Ls

[@paulcost6446]

Wow that exhaust system actually makes a LS sound more like a old school V8, personally would leave the pipes as they are look similiar to the factory twin pipes.

[@HackshopGarage]

Yeah it actually almost sounds like a 5.0L

[@paullutherborrow637]

I’m assuming this rod shop exhaust would go close to be able to hook up to any V8 with slight mods ?

[@scott8581]

well done guys, best LS to H series journey on the tube by far 🍻

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, appreciate that a lot

[@bigal878]

Agree, great job.

[@darylcross5610]

Best cheap tool for cutting zip ties flush is the cheapest Garden Secateurs from Hardware store. I used flush cut jaw electronics side cutters previously but they are not easy to use on big 8mm and bigger zip ties.

[@aussiedroptop]

Great that you are showing what is achievable in the home garage. Would be nice to see you pass on the build cost so up and comers have an idea of what sort of budget you need to complete this sort of build. Then they can work out what they can & cant do themselves and what they can afford to farm out. I've built several over the years and always get shocked by how much stuff goes up between builds. This is just a suggestion that I think would improve your show. I'll keep watching

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, great suggestion, we will be tallying up the cost in the final episode when we go for a drive in it

[@TorqHub]

Anything is achievable down the back shed! Just got to do your research, and back yourself 💪🏻😁

Brilliant job fellas, well done. That feeling when they fire up first go is pretty good hey, top episode.

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, you are too right!

[@jasonholzberger2877]

Sounds nice nice work guys

[@dazaspc]

Great job guys, a really nice old cruiser. Another cable tie tip. Flush cut electronics side cutters are the go for trimming cable ties as they have a flat edge on the blade side and the tail is always left flat. Failing that I normally just use my cordless soldering iron to melt the sharp edge, all it normally takes is a quick wipe across.

[@glennman5619]

Turned out pretty sweet. Lots of smiles per hour out of you guys too. Nice work

[@TorqHub]

How fkn gooood are custard tarts though?!? 🤩🤩

[@bigal878]

They are good, but vanilla slice are better👌

[@TorqHub]

@@bigal878 but what about caramel slice? Orrr Cannoli?... Great, now I want a tray of baked goods.

[@bigal878]

@@TorqHub same here mate. A BIG tray of baked desserts.

You sick bastard.

[@TheShedSesh]

Nice one guys.... a lot of hard work and long days and nights gone into that one!! Bloody magic.

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, much appreciated!

[@76charger63]

Dude buy a cable tie gun. Its a sparkies tool it will cut them off smooth every time, and you can even adjust how tight you want it to pull the cable tie up too!

[@kiwikingi1]

Good stuff guys, loved every upload. Where's the shed skid? 😂

[@HackshopGarage]

Hahaha my neighbours are forgiving, but maybe not that forgiving to do a shed skid

[@bigal878]

Don’t stress about your precious concrete, just rip a quick skid boys.

[@HackshopGarage]

Hahaha Big Al, you know I won’t haha doesn’t mean we won’t skid it else where though

[@craigandjomonk]

Awesome build guys

[@maccathirtythree]

Congratulations lads. Awesome build!

[@chrisstewart5876]

Me & my young fella have done a LSA swap in a VL in the garage I wish we had a hoist would of made it so much easier. Well done boys you’ve done a fantastic job 👍

[@OvertakingLane]

Great job guys, turned out great !!

[@fitzyholden1036]

Tool tip. There is a special tool designed to tighten zip ties and cut them off flush that doesn't leave sharp edges. I'd normally say Google the shit out of it but don't, use Bing.

[@The-Average-Guy.]

Love your work guys, glad you were able to get those body mounts sorted. I've been hanging to hear that exhaust, had mine hanging on the wall and it certainly looks great but now I know how nice it sounds.

[@HackshopGarage]

Haha yeah finally solved the mystery of the body mounts

[@hvh3087]

hqs r my all time fav car

[@starbattles1]

Saw a flow simulation with clear pipe and smoke pulses. That kind of X pipe has almost no cross over. An H pipe has more cross over. All that kind of X pipe does is make it raspy, by creating power robbing turbulence in the pipes.

[@fordfanman]

Great vid mate. I'm a ford man but love your work and videos. Keep it up

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate! Great to hear

[@1tarbaby1]

Awesome job guys, love it

[@BADQ]

Awesome build guys loved watching every moment of it, big well done to both of you!

[@mwitachacha7522]

Great video guys ! Can't wait to see the review.

[@otter2183]

Love the vids boys, you can get flat side cutters from the electrical wholesalers to snip cable ties without the dags 👌

[@HackshopGarage]

Nice! We will have to find ourself some of them

[@sphmowing2817]

Awesome as always

[@marsv7777]

Great work !!! Mario here , I was talking to you guys (Les and Nathan) at the car get together at Keilor Downs a little while back. Question: how do you find the Wilwood brake, contemplating upgrading my front and looking for some real feedback. Cheers Mario.

[@mickteasdale3225]

Yeah because there's no HQ's in Melbourne!?!.... What an odd comment.

[@adman6380]

Flush cut side cutters and or a quick swipe with a cigarette or bbq lighter for plastic zip ties to stop them opening a vein on your arm

[@Chopper1392]

Can always pick an ls swap by the exhaust sound, but honestly not with this one!😍 so tough

[@ZoomStranger]

True that - stock, LS's sound like a kitchen implement. This sounds staunch despite the x pipe and stainless, both of which tend to bland out the sound. Top job fellas!

[@anthonycarbone6740]

So what is going to happen to that right panel are u guys going to paint it or not also good jobs guys

[@HackshopGarage]

Thanks mate, t has had a clear coat put over it, to try and prevent further rust, but for now, we are leaving the body patina

[@stevepierce3509]

Are they Werribee pies ? or Hoppers Crossing Pies Legends ?

[@RussellBooth1977]

The fuel pressure required for the LS1 V8 engine is 55-62 PSI & I have fitted an adjustable fuel pressure regulator onto the fuel tank sender unit & set it to 61 PSI & on the upper end of the fuel pressure tolerance in my VY SS Commodore. A 1/2" hose is the vent hose from the charcoal canister in my Commodore at the top of the fuel filler neck,,a smaller 5/16" quick connect nylon tube is hooked up to the 1 way check valve inside of the fuel tank sender unit & a 3/8" quick connect nylon tube connects onto the breather tube which runs up into the engine bay & another 3/8" quick connect hose connects to the purge control solenoid. The engine in your car should really be dyno tuned to take advantage of the exhaust system & headers you guys have fitted, much more power is on tap from the stock engine with the way it is at the moment

[@HackshopGarage]

Yeah it will find it’s way to a dyno in the near future for sure

[@conkolovouris6393]

Hey guys, really love your channel, I'm working on a LS2 6.0 in a jeep TJ. Who is your engineer?

Hey mate. It is 11m wide by 10m deep and 3m high walls

Shed skid?

[@andrewnagajek9234]

Graet job guys, what was the cost for a build like that?

[@HackshopGarage]

We havnt tallied it up just yet. But we will before we do the next video on it

[@GanGoz]

Get rid of the tail pipes, put drop pipes on it :-) They were all the rage back in the day.

[@LawnPotato]

yeah but so was smelling exhaust fumes in the car, but thats just stupid.

[@GanGoz]

@@LawnPotato Never had fumes in mine....they came out behind the rear wheel, and beyond the edge of the body work, so legal.

[@MrVnssbt1]

Are you gonna get the body work done get the car a full respray

[@HackshopGarage]

Not at this stage, we will stick with the patina look for awhile, but most likely in the future

[@MrVnssbt1]

A proper respray will set you back big$$$$$$ for body work bare metal respray anywhere Between $30,000 to $40,000 for a show paint job

[@lynettekent9712]

Such a nice brake setup covered by those ugly centerlines ! No disrespect lads,awsum job! But a set of black 5 spoke Simmons would look mean!!
