I hope you enjoyed the video! I completely forgot to turn my lapel mic on at the start, but have done my best to get the audio as clear as possible. Won't happen again!
It's been awhile since I've been on yt you've been busy lately mate hope you're having fun we may have to playup at the drags one night I'm currently looking for a panel van ill do my secret recipe to the xflow I'd suggest it would be door handle to door handle match up and a bloody good laugh for a couple of ol fellas lol
Great job mate - quite a while ago now, I paid an exhaust shop to put a redback exhaust, 100 cell cat and extractors on a VCT XR6. Who knew that this was such an easy job!... I'll definitely remember your video if I buy another AU (who am I kidding, I've had 5 AUs - of course I'll eventually buy another one 😅).
I just like how this guys does it - if you compare to say Scotty, whos annoying prattle and "you can do it with just two spanners" which is BS, this guy is solid.
Terrific vid mate. Only issue with feedback is the thin wall tube they use. They rust out reasonably quickly. Best option is to ceramic coat them inside and out. A smear of rtv high temp on the head to extractor gasket is highly advisable. Lastly, the heat shield is essential. Without it the heat will burn the bonnet insulation and melt the loom that runs down the driver side inner guard. I learnt this the hard way. Love ya work champion
I got the whole kit for 4480's, a high flow stainless cat and redback exhaust for $1.1K with my tax return and can definitely say, they made a big improvement over stock and paired with a nice chrome tip looked great. After a few heat cycles it really set in nice and has a great note! Redbacks are also another great option though and pleased to see you enjoy yours 👍🏻
Reminds me when I got extractors fitted to my LPG 245 Chrysler CL sedan because the factory manifold leaked and I count couldn't find another. It sounded sporty and accelerated off the line quicker bit I missed the original Valiant sound which was so distinctive.
i personally love the deep non raspy sound of the stock headers but the performance gain is a no brainer, 1 sec to 100 is a huge deal with no tune etc, and with equal length headers the exhaust pulse waves acutally really help to suck the gases out of the oposing cylinder and with really good "tuned length" headers it can auctally case a vaccum on the cylinder ready to suck the next lot of air in, really good setups on some euro cars have seen gains eqal to 7psi more cylinder pressure with good headers. its like a bolt on budget turbo haha.
I'm running a herrod 2.5 inch exhaust along with the factory tickford longtube headers from the EF/El xr6 (factory cat delete) in my AU vct engine the sound is amazing and very noticeable power increase from the low to mid range and much better fuel economy It was a complete bolt on affair along with factory original appearance this mod was a complete Win in my books 2
I couldn’t agree more with your description of the improvements both in sounds and performance Sean. Finished installing a full system on my AU too (took me a while) & agree it’s probably the single most cost effective mod for the old Intech. Love your work!
man that seems like a way better improvement than I would have thought! I have a brand new set of those headers sitting in the shed, had them for years now (went to a 5.0 windsor before I got around to installing them... also improved the sound alot)
Love the sound with the new extractors.I had a full redback system with extractors,cats and duel outlets on my vy calais.It completely transformed the car.
Damn a second differnece that pretty impressive actually. Ive seen someone messure results on a proper cold air intake set up (actually breathing in outside air) and they managed to shave off half a second so. With redisgned proper cold air intake, headers, high flow cat and exhaust its safe to say you can take off about 1.5 seconds on a 0 to 100 without a tune and maybe 2 seconds with a tune. Thats definitely impressive for stock power
Our AU XR6 2 had been fitted with headers and a 3-inch system all the way to the back I don't know about power, but the beast sounded just like a V8 so much so people had to look twice at the badge I knew when the wife was coming home because it vibrated windows as it cruised by.
Hi, back when i was much younger, i bought a beater xw falcon 3.6 from a wrecker for $400 with rego, diamond white black trim, the trim was swapped later with a bloke that worked at the petrol station i filled up, be had a glamour XY fairmont v8 with blue trim, anyway right or wrong he wanted my black trim, he offered to do the swap and fill p my car with fuel and give me a case of beer, i told him i dont drink and i would be happy for the fuel Strange part is his trim was 99% perfect and my black trim way about 70% good and the front seats sagged Anyway, i had that car for 8 years and it cost me almost noting except for the 6 month oil and filter changes that i done myself. One day mum comments on the cat makes noises and what had happened is the engine pipe had a burn hole on the front bend i let it go for a few weeks, one day in chatting the bloke i swaped the trim wife ( still 100% happy ) said he will check with the repair shop come back next week I went back and they had a used pacemaker extractor from a customer car who went from 6 to 8 - they fitted it all for basically free lunch ( maccas or kentucky ) Wow - the car drove really good, it chirped on flat to the floor 1 > 2 shifts standing start , in comparison if felt like the car before was running a dead cylinder or the handbrake was on It now reminds me of everyold school trick was holley 350, gt40 coil, extractors, and turn the air filter lid upside down - a no frills power upgrade
Good video as usual! i had a set of these headers on an EF falcon and i had constant issues with them overheating the sensor in the steering rack and then they would leak. the last time it happened the sensor failed and power steering fluid sprayed out and caught fire. Luckily no damage to car other than the brake booster. after that i ended up removing the sensor and fitted a grub screw into it. just something to watch out for.
The down side to recording engine sounds is that they never sound as good in videos compared to in real life. Would love to hear that for real. Also that engine those good with those headers on on it. Also great video as always.
The SOHC sounds better than the Barra! Im running equal length HM headers with hi flow cat and 3 muffler 2.5 inch exhaust on my AU wagon. No drone and not loud and at 503,000kms still goes well for what it is.
Many years ago I knew of an Au S1 that had the standard log manifold, gutted out cat, de fillipo 2.5 cat back with just the single muffler (straight through rear section) and that thing sounded more like a chev than a 6 pot when it was being given the beans.
Nice stuff mate. Been getting into Hagerty recently, Davin finishes off his Redline episodes with this fantastic little piece for anyone who wrenches on their own car: "Go out to the shop, go get your work done".
Im running the 4480 extractors & a 100 cell hi flow cat with the 2.5" red back exhaust with the rear resonator deleted & a twin 2.5" tip on the rear....sounds very good one the foot is put down👍
I’m running pacemakers and a 2 1/2 system on my EA S pack it’s running an EF Tickford motor, the exhaust is definitely the first thing to change on these sohc engines as the stock system is very restrictive.
Two things almost nobody mentions. 1 - the coolant hoses that go through the firewall near the steering column (if doing on a BA or BF, not sure about AU) sit about 1 inch away from the rear extractor pipe and boils faster than a pan of water on a gas stove. 2 - all extractors sit the exhaust closer to the transmission than the stock ones, and for all you peeps that remove the cat and heat shield, to run a high flow cat - guess where all that heat is transferred to - yep, the transmission just 2 inches away. - wrap the extractors and the exhaust near the transmission, and run a trans temp gauge to keep an eye on it, or you'll not think about it and one day you'll tow a trailer and KA BANG - bye bye gearbox. Also deal with your coolant hoses close to the back extractor before you run that motor too hot too, heat shield them with the stuff plumbers use to insulate hot water pipes, and wrap those headers!!!!! Don't Fk your car up with an "unfinished exhaust mod"
Tidy upgrade Sean! For the love of your plastic brake booster though, please refit that heat shield! Ask me why I know :) Let us know if you want to try a mild tune on it! Cheers, Jason
Your exhaust manifold came off easier than the one on my car I may have irritated my neighbor's slightly by starting my AU with no cat or exhaust to heat the manifold up it was loud it's a great challenge trying to remove a hot exhaust manifold I had to use a rattle gun to rattle my one-off and it was still a battle to get it off I broke three of my cheap sockets I got to the point where a gas axe starting to become a good idea
I’d be keen for a one of your “quiet drive” videos in this car with the new exhaust/headers. Maybe with multiple mic placements for inside/outside sound. I think that would be really cool!
Hello mate, you might be interested in this, I've a 2002 Tickford Fairlane Ghia, factory black paint. Also a factory mobile phone holder that folds out from the centre storage box, it folds forwards and swings round to the left and the lid can then be closed, it's grey and unnecessarily bulky imo.
Yeah definitely the best bang for buck! I just did a video myself on the differences between dual redback mufflers and delete both the front and back and also both delete pipes together on BA dramatic differences between each one hey! Love your videos mate👌
I tried the 4480's, high flow cat and 2.5 redback on my AU and hi flow intake and I actually removed it all and just kept the cat back. The 4480's lost power down low enough so I couldn't even spin the wheels and my 0-100 time was worse.... it was much faster up top but seriously when do you drive a falcon flat out over 100kmh??? The stock setup was better down low and better on fuel. Oh but I have the 4480's with 3in collector, no cat and 3in side exhaust on my AU race car and she loves it.
I would say that unless you’re chasing the last fraction of horsepower the difference between PM and RB is going to be negligible. I much prefer the finish on the Redback. Ceramic coating might be an alternative to the heatshield if budget permits… otherwise just keep a close eye on your overflow tank.
Subbed and another happy viewer ... Your relaxed and fun vibe is great to watch . And now as I'm a proud owner of an fgx xr6 , I'll be watching more 🎉😊😅
Should put some exhaust studs in makes so much easy only cost 80 bucks cnc and treated and coated great product. I bet ya exhaust ports where black running rich.one problems with au engine 0 degree timing not good to much unburnt fuel.got au engine in xg ute great engine just needs a few tweaks then wacth out.peace
100 cell cat makes a difference you really don’t need one unless the cops check. You won’t get the full results until 6 months after the computer re learns everything 👍🏻
I was just looking and I found a 2005 mitsubishi 380 for 2.5k on carsales and thought you may be interested it's 280,000km not sure If that's too many but the seller is located 4hrs from Ipswich.
Shaun once again you have delivered a top quality video. Love it my EB with an vct motor in it also sounds as good. Only difference is i have pacemaker extractors and high flow 🐈 with a straight through muffler. Sounds just as good as yours mate. Abd i did mine 10yrs ago. And now i went to start it after about 1yr and the fuel pump is dead so have one coming hopefully this week. I miss that sound Cant wait for your next video. But with better 🎤 😄 🤣
I bought a Ranchero 6 months ago and had one months driving out of it. I,ve bought two gearboxes 3 with mine and it's to expensive to repair. I would love to change this to a manual , but unfortunately cannot find a box plus change of assessories to do this. It's such a great car , but !!! because I,m a South African and Australia don't make these anymore , I,m stuck with a car without a driving force / train , and it's becoming an elephant feature at my house. It's so frustrating and humiliating to endure such hardships ... suppose I,ll end up cutting it into a walled feature ...
Just ordered a car back system yesterday for my el, next is headers and cat just like what you’ve done. Will I be seeing you at the Ipswich laps on Saturday?
Your channel with videos like this helped me come to the decision to restore my au glad I did would love for you to see it once I'm done as i live local
Sound issues? Doesnt sound as good as your other videos. Car looks great 👍 Edit: Sound (speaking) is only different in the garage, In car sounds great, Car however sounds awesome with the new headers.

Good stuff mate 👍
The engine is looking just a bit sexy now 👌
Plazmaman makes a intake for the au I’ll shoot the link ( but beware it’s expensive) plazmaman.com/product/billet-e-series-intake/
Tarf mart
Can't believe ya missed the opportunity to give it a limiter bash straight out the headers to truly make you an au owner
Nah mate gotta do straight out the head🤣
@@mitchelltodd8089 should of done both😂
haha, yes!!
straight out the HEAD you pussy. thats what the factory heat shield is for, stop u melting overflow bottle on open head limi action
just put the factory heat shield in the bay upside down so u dont melt the overflow bottle@@mitchelltodd8089

Rev up yer engine's.
Yep Scotty has a cult following, he appears very stubborn and doesn't have the humility of Sean's "lets give it a go" attitude

I may come back and fit the shield before summer comes around - it looked like it would work well 👍
@@MotoringBoxTV I recommend fitting a ba bf turbo airbox snorkel and 3" intake pipe makes a huge difference or just slam a poddy on it
Have to say, the Intech does seem to have it over the Barra by quite a way sound wise, at least to my ear.
NA Barra any day for me. The Turbos sound like crap though.
I love your dedication to Aussie classics. Falcon and Commodore were great cars, are still great cars!
Needs a cam with more overlap to really get that gurgle at idle and howl at revs like a classic Jaguar!

Where'd you get them from?
Haha nice tax return purchase, I need to lodge mine...
Half way to a turbo kit in price sadly
I got the whole 2.5 Redback catback system with hotdog and Wildcat headers same highflow cat with all Gaskets for $449 last week Xmas special
Reminds me when I got extractors fitted to my LPG 245 Chrysler CL sedan because the factory manifold leaked and I count couldn't find another. It sounded sporty and accelerated off the line quicker bit I missed the original Valiant sound which was so distinctive.
Did headers and full system on my old XC back in the day, Had a cracked manifold. Cost a whopping $200 fitted and totally transformed the car.

I went back and they had a used pacemaker extractor from a customer car who went from 6 to 8 - they fitted it all for basically free lunch ( maccas or kentucky )
Wow - the car drove really good, it chirped on flat to the floor 1 > 2 shifts standing start , in comparison if felt like the car before was running a dead cylinder or the handbrake was on
It now reminds me of everyold school trick was holley 350, gt40 coil, extractors, and turn the air filter lid upside down - a no frills power upgrade
Great job , I was waiting for an open header demo
Yes i can hear difference and yes i understand i did same to my au Fairlane good job love the sound sohc 6 with full system
Love the AU GHIA. That shiny red rocker cover looks so good.
I’ve still got my AU GHIA
Good video as usual! i had a set of these headers on an EF falcon and i had constant issues with them overheating the sensor in the steering rack and then they would leak. the last time it happened the sensor failed and power steering fluid sprayed out and caught fire. Luckily no damage to car other than the brake booster. after that i ended up removing the sensor and fitted a grub screw into it. just something to watch out for.
Brilliant! Thank you for providing definitive proof that spending money on exhaust items is worth the money 😄
The down side to recording engine sounds is that they never sound as good in videos compared to in real life. Would love to hear that for real. Also that engine those good with those headers on on it. Also great video as always.
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Anything to do with an AU is good content.

I think intake noise is often under rated when people are talking about a pleasing sound from the car.
I think all of us fans need to make a petition to get Pepsi to sponsor you
Many years ago I knew of an Au S1 that had the standard log manifold, gutted out cat, de fillipo 2.5 cat back with just the single muffler (straight through rear section) and that thing sounded more like a chev than a 6 pot when it was being given the beans.
Ahh what a great modification. If only I didn't have a big ass LPG converter sitting right where those header pipes would go!
Did this back on my forte made a big difference but now plan to turbo
I got a A U series 3 I got a Chip Cam Extractors full sports exhaust low K S on Dino it’s got rear wheels 190 K W Cheers
Time for a cam mate

Nice work….I remember doing the same thing on my first car EA S Pack Falcon. Good memories.
The headers/complete aftermarket exhaust gives the falcon 6 more throat. Almost as good as putting a couple holes in the stock exhaust...
Put the shield back on before you start cooking the tank and breather hoses. Or put heat shielding around those parts. 👍
Tidy upgrade Sean! For the love of your plastic brake booster though, please refit that heat shield! Ask me why I know :)
Let us know if you want to try a mild tune on it!

Okay it'll go back on I promise 😂

Yeah for short term and long term fuel trims.
Ah right near the Boral Asphalt plant, I know these roads.
Cam & J3 chip from TI Performance 👍
the After sounds very BMW-ish - I like it.
Yeah definitely the best bang for buck! I just did a video myself on the differences between dual redback mufflers and delete both the front and back and also both delete pipes together on BA dramatic differences between each one hey!
Love your videos mate👌
Love the sound of the intec 6's they are a great motor
Great video 👍
Though quality car parts don't come cheap!
I tried the 4480's, high flow cat and 2.5 redback on my AU and hi flow intake and I actually removed it all and just kept the cat back.

Can't believe how quiet this engine is for it's age
I would say that unless you’re chasing the last fraction of horsepower the difference between PM and RB is going to be negligible. I much prefer the finish on the Redback.
Ceramic coating might be an alternative to the heatshield if budget permits… otherwise just keep a close eye on your overflow tank.
Subbed and another happy viewer ... Your relaxed and fun vibe is great to watch . And now as I'm a proud owner of an fgx xr6 , I'll be watching more 🎉😊😅
Thanks mate! Lots of Falcon content on here.
Great video Sean! For a non qualified mechanic you certainly know what your doing mate 👌🏼
Bro , its not thinner metal of the extractors that makes the pulses more audible , its because arent rattling around confused like in a cast manifold
Awesome review mate! I have Pacemaker 4499 headers and a Redback exhaust like yours, and it sounds great, but just need to get a high flow cat now!
love the sound 1 second differents in time is pretty big for the small mods done overall love the video and your camera work
Should put some exhaust studs in makes so much easy only cost 80 bucks cnc and treated and coated great product. I bet ya exhaust ports where black running rich.one problems with au engine 0 degree timing not good to much unburnt fuel.got au engine in xg ute great engine just needs a few tweaks then wacth out.peace
Too bad those Falcons never available in the US.
Good gain to 100.have you tested your ba to 100? What does it do? You make modding your cars look very clinical and easy, good job👍.
Great video, I’m not tech savvy, but where is the link to click onto to buy these things? I have an NL Fairlane which I want to do.
100 cell cat makes a difference you really don’t need one unless the cops check. You won’t get the full results until 6 months after the computer re learns everything 👍🏻
Good to see the au breath finally you should slightly lower it next!
Had a 250 in question XP with extracts and twin system sounded very much like a V8
We used to have a non xflow 250 in an XP and it sounded great.
Looks and sounds fantasic.👍👍 up the AU
i have the ph4480s on my el ghia they sound great i paid $700 for mine brand new with a 100 cell cat
Awesome video mate , love the AU! (Honestly look more forward to AU videos than the xr6t haha , still love the xr6t too)
Thinking about getting this done as well. My ghia is running good already but hey if it can fix or improve it a little worth it ^_^
Very nice AU
You didn't use any anti seize on the manifold bolts? A very nice clean engine bay too, especially your clean expansion tank.
I was just looking and I found a 2005 mitsubishi 380 for 2.5k on carsales and thought you may be interested it's 280,000km not sure If that's too many but the seller is located 4hrs from Ipswich.
Shoulda saved up for the 4480s, they do magic
I've heard people say they've lost power down low running those. My AU lives down there so I am pretty happy with the set I got.
only now did i just realise this was filmed at the of skid spot new hill dr 😂
You mean Boral proving grounds
Shaun once again you have delivered a top quality video. Love it my EB with an vct motor in it also sounds as good.

And now i went to start it after about 1yr and the fuel pump is dead so have one coming hopefully this week. I miss that sound
Cant wait for your next video. But with better 🎤 😄 🤣
Must be just louder and a little raspier. Because it does not sound much different at the tailpipe, same burble just different tone.
Torque setting is two clicks of the elbow mate!!!
Noticed any difference in fuel economy with the new exhaust?
Currently waiting for the 4480s for the Fairlane thinking its going to sound alot tougher than the barra ive put a full exhaust on
I'm sold.
Looking red hot.
I bought a Ranchero 6 months ago and had one months driving out of it. I,ve bought two gearboxes 3 with mine and it's to expensive to repair. I would love to change this to a manual , but unfortunately cannot find a box plus change of assessories to do this. It's such a great car , but !!! because I,m a South African and Australia don't make these anymore , I,m stuck with a car without a driving force / train , and it's becoming an elephant feature at my house. It's so frustrating and humiliating to endure such hardships ... suppose I,ll end up cutting it into a walled feature ...
I gpt my pacemalers for 550. Cpvid tax hard on parts. Should of got the pacemakers i got em they aound tough
are we going to see a cam done on this car?
We’re did u get the front crome wheel crome flairs
Still waiting for a response please mate
Sounds great
Its still gonna tune itself into the new exhaust for a month or two itll just slightly change tone but its better
Just ordered a car back system yesterday for my el, next is headers and cat just like what you’ve done. Will I be seeing you at the Ipswich laps on Saturday?
Should be there unless something else pops up!
Should do this on a 90s 6cyl bmw
Good work thanks
Great Video!
nice work mate
Are tiger headers good quality?
Good job Sean, did you try and install the factory engine lift point back on or does it not fit with the extractors.
I left it off, but it'll fit on anytime I need it.
No worries, I wasn’t sure if the extractor pipe interfered with the bracket and it didn’t fit.
Mate another nice video cheers I'm about to throw 4480's on my au and hope they sound as good as that
Your channel with videos like this helped me come to the decision to restore my au glad I did would love for you to see it once I'm done as i live local
They should sound better!
Sound issues? Doesnt sound as good as your other videos. Car looks great 👍 Edit: Sound (speaking) is only different in the garage, In car sounds great, Car however sounds awesome with the new headers.
