That was a stupid way to join the exhaust together, should have had a strap across the pipes, not the mufflers welded together. Looks solid enough, weld it up and put a strap just behind them on the pipe and wrap it around at least half way up each pipe.

You want it louder? Don't do that, it's a dumb idea.

Something is not sitting right. Could be alignment clips.

SARS and MERS are both contagious when symptomatic, Covid is not. It is relatively easy to control a SARS or MERS outbreak, with Covid, it is not. He is an idiot.

No. I would find a V8 system, will bolt straight up. Removing the rears on a V6 sounds like arse.

It sounds like a connection issue with the scan tool. What are you using?

You shouldn't need a code. Found this: https://tech2wiki.com/content/technical_procedures/holden/security/keys.html

Absolutely 100% incorrect. He's either misinformed or flat out lying. Manta have their own manufacturing facility in Cunderdin, about 2 hours north of Perth. The only thing that can be remotely related is the fact that Manta (or rather DPI Performance) are also the distributor for X Force here...

Will it start with aerostart or similar sprayed into the throttle body?

Check the slip ring on the ignition barrel, make sure it has good contact with the key.

If the exhaust was made properly and fitted properly then the brace shouldn't need to be modified or adapted.

It's very unusual for the Manta rears to cause drone. I couldn't tell you how many I have fitted and never had bad droning like you describe. Could be faulty manufacturing. Even then that's rare for Manta. You really need to find a brace and fit it. It's structural for the car, if you have a...

The centre brace is factory Holden. It needs to be there. Did you fit it or did a shop? This one.

Also, check that the exhaust is not resting on the chassis brace. The Manta 3" can sit lower if not fitted correctly and will rest on that brace causing a horrible noise in the car as well. Some places put spacers in, but if you push the rear of the headers up as high as they can go when...
