This Exhaust Systems Australia kit (HOLDEN-COMMODORE-VE-VF-V6-V8-SEDAN-WAGON-3-KIT-WITH-2-X-HOTDOG-XPIPE-AND-4-X-AC-TIPS) is a full 3in package for the VE/VF Commodore that finishes on four AC-style tips — the tip choice is what sets it apart from its SC-tip sibling. It bundles two hotdog resonators, an X-pipe crossover and the four tips into one 3in kit.
What's in this 3in kit?
It's a complete 3in kit for the VE/VF sedan and wagon: two hotdog resonators, an X-pipe crossover, and four AC-pattern tips at the tail. A hotdog is a compact straight-through resonator that tunes the note and trims drone without a heavy volume drop, and the X-pipe links the banks mid-system to even out the twin sound. The 3in bore suits the larger V8 or a flow-built V6, and the four AC tips set the finished look at the back. It's listed across both engines and both body styles.
What do the AC tips and hotdogs do?
The four AC-style tips are the visible finish at the tail and define this kit's look against the SC-tip version. Inside the system, the straight-through hotdogs resonate and tune rather than heavily muffle, and the X-pipe crossover smooths the note by sharing flow between banks. There's no published sound figure, so the honest test is to hear a comparable VE/VF 3in fit before deciding.
Will it suit my VE or VF?
It's listed to fit the Holden Commodore VE and VF in V6 and V8, sedan and wagon. That's a broad listing across a long run with several variants, so confirm your exact model, engine and body with the workshop before ordering — the routing and tip positions need to match your car.
How do we fit it in the Illawarra?
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits this 3in kit in-house across the Illawarra. We set the X-pipe square, hang the two hotdogs clear of the floor, and align the four AC tips so they sit even at the bumper. Bring the car in and we'll confirm fitment and book the bay.
