Pacemaker Exhaust Y62 Patrol V8 - AVO secondary Cat delete pipes - HGT new rig build Garage Life

Pacemaker exhaust Y62 V8 patrol with AVO Turboworld secondary cat delete pipes.
This mod puts the biggest smile on my face and it does absolutely nothing… well nothing other than make the Patrol Sound awesome!
It probably flows better and keeps the motor slightly cooler but that is just my assumptions not tested or proven.
The inner Bogan in me wanted a V8 that sounds like a V8 and the pacemaker King Brown exhaust has done exactly that. We got only a centre muffler. There is an option that also has a rear muffler for those who want a quitter more subtle sound.
We also did AVO Turbooworld secondary cat delete pipes at the same time. The main reason was to get rid of the tiny restrictive factory secondary cat pipes. Yes the patrol has 4 cats from factory.
Over all this is a relatively easy job, all you need is basic hand tools. It will take a few hours, probably a little less with help.
When you look at the factory system laid out beside the new Pacemaker system you can see how restrictive the factory one is.
Obviously exhaust note is a personal preference. I love this but it won’t be for everyone.

Nothing bogan about listening to a nice v8. That’s mad sounds nice.

Awesome video mate. I did a suitcase delete first, just to get a feel of what it would sound like. But after hearing that l believe this is the sound I've been looking for. Thanks for the video. Would cat back sound the same?

Great video, don’t think that I am copying, but I’m trying to do a video like this too. 😅😬

[@HappyGoTravel]

Thanks Dave. No not at all, I’m actually looking forward to seeing your vid. It’s going to be awesome to hear all different exhausts in the same vid. I think it’s a great idea and will give a better perspective of how different they sound.

[@stripper01]

Cheers for this, i think there will never be “enough” y62 content out there.. picking my s5 up in november and can’t wait to add any experiences myself.. constantly searching youtube for content and there just isn’t enough! thanks for the vid and looking forward to more of yours @dash too 🤙

[@jonniemela3661]

Sounds great ! Did you have to get a new tune up on the engine after the new exhaust?

[@HappyGoTravel]

Thanks mate, no I haven’t as yet. I am planning on eventually doing headers and high flow cats and getting it tuned

[@HappyGoTravel]

@gehko22 there are 4 cats in a standard patrol. 2 each bank. I have taken 2 out. One from each bank. The first cat is right at the back of the headers (still in) and the 2nd are the 2 pipes I replaced. When I eventually do headers I will put high flow cat pipes in as the new headers will not have cats at the back. I hope that makes sense

[@paulbright7635]

Midlife crises 🤔 I want one 😬

[@HappyGoTravel]

🤣🤣🤣 it’s soo good

[@livingadamman7994]

Mate nice video, is this still running the factory manifold or did you fit Pacemaker headers too ? I know they are good but what was it that made you go with them ?

[@HappyGoTravel]

This is just standard manifolds still. In all honesty I remember pacemaker from my commodore days 🤣 and it was a good price when I got it. I do still love it though

[@chrislaing8091]

Hey mate, Did you need a tune after this system was installed? I looking at the same set up sounds epic af

[@xheadliner7199]

Did it improve fuel consumption?

[@Dmitry17041988]

How come did you get cat pipes separate from AVO? Why didn’t you just get whole king brown primary cat back instead? Is there a reason?

[@_Bruggs]

Hey mate, just curious if you ever had any codes come up with the AVO cat delete installed? I have the pacemaker exhaust on mine and looking to do the secondary cat delete. Cheers

[@HappyGoTravel]

When I first put them on I forgot to plug in the passenger side sensor and it threw a code. Once I plugged it in and reset I’ve had no issues since

[@steve_ohhhhhhh]

Yep total Bogan mod..... But fkn sounds sweet 👌🏻

[@walterpont2882]

Wow sounds hot. Have you been pulled over by cops ? Does it have more power and economy improved? Thanks mate. Long live Bogans :)

[@HappyGoTravel]

Hahhahaha thanks mate. No issues with police. I just don’t get up It when i see them around. Power wise it’d be no real improvement, I’m sure if I turned it a the better flow would definitely create some benefit. As for economy it’d be worse because I flog it more because I like the sound 🤣

Year on since you posted, done much towing and get much drone? just ordered my 62 and coming from a caprice, I'm all about v8 noise, but drone is a common problem that shits me up the wall haha.

[@HappyGoTravel]

I still love it, I really don't tow anything bigger than a box trailer. but there is no doubt it would drone with a decent load behind it. if you are going to tow i'd definitely get a rear muffler.

[@elliottsimon9622]

hey mate i was just wandering if you think that this exhaust is legal or not trying to make my dad put a different exhaust on his cutdown patrol and he saying no because of legal reasons and getting pulled over. Other wise it sounds amazing to me

[@HappyGoTravel]

Hey mate. If there any legalities in it, it would be with the secondary cat pipes. However the system does still have two cats in place still. My advice would be you will have no issues with legalities if you are replaced from cat back. But be sure to check you state’s legislation on vehicle modifications to ensure it’s legal where you are.

[@sp2074]

I went with the Torqit system. What did it cost?

[@HappyGoTravel]

$850 delivered, through Steve Allan Mechanical. The Torqit system is nice 👌

[@scotti190695]

Was there tuning required? To stop fault codes etc?

[@NoOne56488]

You will only get fault codes / need to tune it if you have replaced the cats, cat back systems do not need to do anything of the sort.

I see a lot of heat shields on the original which are obviously there for a reason 🤔

Minimal. If you really like the sound you’re more inclined to flog it hence use more fuel

Why did you only get 2.5", pacemaker told me their entire kit including extractors is full 3"?

[@HappyGoTravel]

It goes to 3”. It’s definitely not 3” behind the secondary cats. I’d say pacemaker are talking about the max diameter. My guess would be the pacemaker header and high flows would be 2.5” each side going to 3” at the y bend

[@ethanday9522]

@@HappyGoTravel it says online they have an 1 3/4” primaries with 2 1/2” outlets so you must have been referring to inside diameter?. Outside diameter should be 3”. Bit of false advertisement on their behalf to sell as a 3” kit but you don’t actually get a 3” ID.

did you choose pacemaker because of cost? Appears to be the cheapest out of torqit, DASH, manta, pacemaker (dash online prices)- in that order roughly. With the muffler would be interesting, is a bit slappy - got a link for someone with the mufler?

[@HappyGoTravel]

Cost wasn't really a factor. I have bogan mates that ran pacemaker on Commodores etc. and i trusted the brand. For me Torqit would be the last one id consider because its too quite. David Dash has a play list on his channel with them all, definitely worth a watch if you're undecided
