Looks pretty straight forward. Pretty much mirrored, might just have to do a few little tweaks... But should be able to do most of it from where the old mufflers are and where the new ones will be added.

I'm getting excited... Just hope my welding skills are up to the challenge.

Once you have my old system, you should be able to make it up fairly easily.

I'm hoping so, 'Men@Work' exhausts will fabricate the y-piece as soon as I give them the dimensions/details (distance center-to-center and overall length, as well as flanges or flared ends), source mid and rear mufflers/resonators, and then start the hard work :/

Once again, any suggestions for muffler/resonator setup will help! :)

You can have yours back once I've finished if you want, so you can do that... Then I can modify it to fit between your pacemakers and twin 2.5" catback system if you would like? Just have to cut it short and weld on new flanges to suit.

I can't wait to see what times your car pushes out after your upgrades, plus how it will sound... :)

That's why I never get enough sleep lol plenty of time for that when I'm dead... Or can't drive anymore for what ever reason.

Found a diff already through a bit of eBay research... The item is called :
Holden Commodore Statesman LSD Hydratrak Diff 3.46 Gears HSV Crewman SS V8 M80

It's a steal if it works the way I want it to. Also I nice gear upgrade from 2.73 to 3.46. But yeah I'll keep looking into it for a bit yet...

I think I will go with 3.7 diff gears, seeing as the 5sp doesn't have as much a short gear as the ZF. If it were the ZF, I would take a 3.46 just so you don't lose the highway economy.
