Holden VF SV6 - Black Ops 2.25" Catback Exhaust

Here's a short video that hopefully shows the sound of the 2.25" catback exhaust by Black Ops. It is the cheaper option over the X-Force system because it isn't stainless steel. So far it has been a great system, no drone whatsoever and sounds great when you put your foot down.

I tried putting the cat back on but it didn’t fit on the headers due to a weird semi dome on the flange, any suggestions

[@jamespirrie]

Yeah I had the same problem. The dome like part actually pops off from the flange, you need to use a screwdriver and hammer to pop it off. Look at 0:59 in this vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJeuYqeYfdKkqdUsi=4p9w_fNztrPLaqCO

[@wizzfizz6800]

finally a video on this exhaust. thanks for convincing me to purchase this. question though, was it just the whole system that was a poor fit? or just the tips

[@jamespirrie]

Hahah yeah i couldn’t find any videos of what it sounded like before i bought it. Everything fits fine, it was just the hangers on one of the mufflers were bent in a direction that made it hard to get the muffler on. So I just used a mallet and some wrenches to try bend the hangers and it eventually slid in. My mate has the 2.5” black ops catback and his fit fine, didn’t have to bend anything. Was probably just a one off.

Sounds like a vacuum cleaner

[@Lucknoexist]

any chance of hearing what it sounds like from inside the car?

[@ucwepn]

hey have you got cats and cai as well? I just bought this system but havent got it fitted yet.

[@jamespirrie]

Yeah still had cats, everything was stock apart from exhaust

[@BarraGutheWorld]

Hey mate, can’t decide between 2.25” and 2.5”. I heard ur mate has the 2.5” version, how much louder and any drone or tin can noises?

[@jamespirrie]

Only reason I went for the 2.25 over the 2.5 is that the 2.5 was more likely to drone in a sedan. In a wagon the drone would be worse, but my friend with the 2.5 has a Ute so drone wasn’t really a concern of his. The 2.5 is noticeably louder both inside the car and from outside. I wouldn’t say it sounded raspy or tin can like at all. I would recommend the 2.5 if you’re after more volume all round instead of just when you put your foot down (like the 2.25), and if you’re okay with a little drone inside the cabin.

Is the sound this exhaust make considered roadworthy?

[@jamespirrie]

I believe so, drove past many cops and never had issues. There are definitely louder cars on the road!
