do you have an old one or something?

it looks like something bursons or such might have even if it's not specifically designed for your car

I'd recommend using 3". I've got 3 1/2" on mine and its BIG!
I've got it as low as it can go and its rubbing badly on the underside of the bonnet.
Through the bonnet liner and is rubbing on the bonnet itself now.
See the pics i've just taken -

I doubt it would fit. The throttle body on the BA V8 mont is 85mm or 3.3 inches in diameter so you would be restricting it by only putting a 2.75" bend on it.

Any decent exhaust shop should have some. I got 1 metre for about $60 and I've still got 300mm left over.

You can get both from a place called Engine Protection in Myaree WA, they will be happy to ship to you. Ask for 3" exhaust pipe and the rubber bends to suit. That's where i got my stuff from.

There are only two ways i can see you being able to stop it hitting the bonnet. Buy and XR8 bonnet. Or use Oval section tube. I think OneSteel sell the tube, but this would not give you the same performance as the circular tube i reckon.

Yeah im trying to get my hands on one thats been damaged in the hail storm and bog it up, no luck yet though. You think they would be easy to find if every panel beaters in perth is full of busted cars.

hm yea not a bad way around it but i prefer to keep my xt lookin nice n stock so wen it comes to dragin pple will be woa thats quik for a xt then oo its a 8. Besides i dont think ther were any ice mint xr8s made. I dunno dont get angry if ther is haha. Anyone know how much a bonnet scoop would cost coz that was my other idea. Coz the tb is vertical in center if bonnet just wak a filter on it and have cold air from scoop straight onto it.
