What sets this kit apart is the quad-tip exit: the HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VE-VF-V6-V8-SEDAN-WAGON-2-1-2-KIT-WITH-HOTDOG-XPIPE-4-X-AC-TIPS from Exhaust Systems Australia is a 2in system with a hotdog resonator, an X-pipe and four tips. It's listed to fit the later Holden Commodore VE–VF V6 and V8 in sedan and wagon bodies.
What does the four-tip, X-pipe layout give?
This kit finishes through four tips, so the rear presents a quad-outlet exit rather than one or two pipes — the defining visual feature on the VE–VF. Ahead of that, an X-pipe links the two banks at one crossover so they equalise, and a hotdog resonator trims drone in the mid-section. The hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator, so the silencing stays light and the 2in system free-flowing into the four tips.
How does the X-pipe and hotdog shape it?
The X-pipe balances the two sides at the crossover, which tends to smooth the pulses and round the note, while the straight-through hotdog keeps the system open rather than heavily muffled. The result is geared toward a freer character and the quad-tip look on the later Commodores. We can't put a number on the sound — there's no dB data — so the honest test is to hear a comparable VE–VF fit before you commit.
Will it suit my VE–VF?
It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE–VF V6 and V8 in sedan and wagon bodies — the later platform, the body shape and the quad-tip rear exit are the points to confirm. Check your exact model, driveline and that the four-tip exit suits your bumper with the workshop before ordering.
How do we fit it at our Illawarra workshop?
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits this kit in-house across the Illawarra. We set the X-pipe crossover square, place the hotdog in the mid-section and line all four tips up evenly in the rear, checking clearance to the floor and rear suspension. Bring the car in and we'll confirm fitment and book the bay.
