A single-muffler cat-back, the Exhaust Systems Australia HOLDEN-STATESMAN-VQ-VR-V6-VQ-VS-V8-2-1-2-CATBACK-KIT pairs one Everflo muffler with a tailpipe, listed to fit the VQ–VR Statesman V6 and VQ/VS Statesman V8. It's the simpler one-muffler kit.
What's in this one-muffler kit?
The defining trait is its make-up: a single Everflo muffler and a tailpipe, a leaner cat-back than a two-muffler set. It replaces the section behind the catalytic converter on the long-wheelbase Statesman, covering both the VQ–VR V6 and the VQ/VS V8 in one listing. Running a single muffler keeps the cat-back leaner than a two-box set, and because the listing is matched to the long-wheelbase Statesman it locates on the factory hanger points whether the VQ–VR V6 or the VQ/VS V8 sits underneath.
What is a cat-back?
A cat-back is everything from the catalytic converter rearward — here the muffler and tailpipe. It re-does the back of the car while leaving the front-of-cat emissions hardware as the factory fitted it.
Which Statesman does it suit?
It's listed to fit the VQ–VR Statesman V6 and the VQ/VS Statesman V8. Those are different drivelines on the long body, so tell the workshop your exact model and engine so we pull the correct configuration.
What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?
Oak Flats Muffler Men supplies and fits Statesman cat-backs across the Illawarra. We confirm the V6 or V8 variant, hang the Everflo muffler and tailpipe and check clearances on the hoist.
