Had an unpleasant surprise today.

Went into Liverpool Exhaust/ Hurricane headers.
Asked for the take-away price for the header and coupling pipe set for an AWD.

Was quoted $885!!!

Bit exxy!!

Especially as RPW are $630 inc GST and Fleabay has the HM Headers for $495.

Has anyone been able to get a better price from Hurricane??

If so its a tad high but not a crazy price.

liverpool exhaust is almost everytime dearer than anywhere else

can you buy directly from hurricane exhausts?

liverpool exhaust are hurricane

You think that's bad!! They quoted me $1500 fitted! Or $1330 delivered to me! :nuts:

The exhaust place I'm using in Geelong can't even get a part number for them, reckons they're not even listed.

EZ-Boy reckons he got his for under $600, so I'm thinking group buy? Someone in NSW want to organise this?

he gets his cost btw cos he father owns a zorst shop, i can ask him tomorrow while im doing my chores if you guys like

Yes, Please ask if there is a way to scam a trade price somehow.

BTW,
I like the design, the extra long primaries should be best for low down power and are part of my plan to deal with the AWD "power hole".

Yes I was being quoted the take - away, i.e. not fitted price.

As i said ill ask, ill see what sort of price we can look at in a lot of 10 and ill try a group buy maybe.

well im in for that.

hey EZ, if ya read this thread, rekon you can get them for us cheaper?

I don't think EZ will be doing much for the next while. Manifold run has been cancelled.

Thank **** for that. :)

nah ive already got prices from them for what im after, i see what A1 can offer me.

Alrighty,

A1 is still closed so cant get a price through them yet, but im working a couple of other sources and ill pitch em against each other in cut knife price gouging to see which one can cough up a "respectable" price

good work mate hopefully we can get for 550

good work mate hopefully we can get for 550


wow. thats optimistic. but yeh, that price would be awesome!!!

wow. thats optimistic. but yeh, that price would be awesome!!!

well yeah, these sort of items usually attract around a 40-50% markup from cost price, so they sell them to you for 700 it might only cost them 380 to buy from there sellers. But they will gain more selling in bulk then individual prices

Any news on this yet?

Ok spoke to A1 Exhausts today and we are looking at Sub $600 for FWD and sub $650 for AWD, he is going to get exact prices for me this week, also we are looking at doing a special price for fitment if you are willing to come to newcastle to get them done.


Also he is going to get me some specs on the Wildcat extractors as well, apparently they are pretty damn decent as well.


Soon as i get confirmed on the pricing ill start the group buy.

Great news mate! :D

Wildcat #245 is listed for the Magen 3.5 V6.
There is no AWD application listed.


Note the comment on the Genie / Wildcat site.

"Wildcat headers are also made here at Genie. Wildcat headers are made to the same standard as our Genie range, but are produced with press bends or crush style bends ,where as Genie are a Full Mandrel bent made header. Wildcat covers a large range of replacement manifold applications, as well as the more budget priced performance market. "
I thnok that this says it all!

well i would love to see a comparison between the two, but at $600 for hurricane that is a great price.

I am definitely in for that. im anxious already. i just want them on my car.

shame installation is in newcastle, not sure if im willing to do it myself, i heard that they aren't quite a direct bolt on for a TL..

Yeah ill find out how different they are for TL's something to do with the cat i believe, but yeah will see how it pans out might get 1 set of both and run em on seperate cars for a bit to see how they go. Arthur said Ians were a piece of cake to install and clear everything with ease.

i had a set of wildcats installed in my car. they were nice, had a really nice sound too them! i have them still off the car if ya want to know anything bout em!?

if there is somebody near wendnarb who has hurricanes installed they should grab the wildcats and do a back to back dyno run. with and without tuning to if possible.

i dont think there will be F.A. difference, but will still be good to compare.
this is the first time I've ever heard of wildcats so will be interesting to see how they compare to the well talked up hurricanes.

Yeah lot of money to install reinstall extractors though. Once i get the specs ill post em up.

not hard to do yourself. im sure somebody would be keen to help for free if it benifits them in getting cheaper extractors. only problem would be that dyno's aren't free, nor tuning for that matter.

swap ya for ya seats i ya want? haha
they were good, only reason i changed was cos i was told by soemone that they wouldnt fit onto a 3.5lt, and i was doing a conversion..
in the end they did end up fitting although i had already ordered my rpw headers so i thought id put the new ones on..

how much did you pay for the wildcats? also are you planning on selling them?

i really dont member how much i paid.. i didnt get them brand new, i got them off a member here, so they are pretty old!!!
but ive been meaning to put them up for sale on here yeah!

Cool. Ive Got my eye set on the hurricanes, but good luck with the sale whenever it happens.

Track me down some TL-TW seats and ill give you the interior + cash adjustment + hell ill prolly come and pick up.

Once i get the specs ill put both up to compare against. I do know that they come with a 2.5inch flex pipe (wildcats).

Will be good if someone purchases wildcats and has them installed at A1 exhausts then we can do some butt dynos as i really dont want to do multiple runs over at Justins as he will probably kill me.

Any updates on a group buy type price for these??

Gerry

Nah, not yet, didnt get a chance to get in contact with A1 to get a price, will ring him tomorrow and get the low down.

how did ya go today. manage to get hold of A1?

how did ya go today. manage to get hold of A1?

Yeah i got hold of them yesterday, just been caught up with a few things at home.

Rock solid price of $750 Per unit and FWD/AWD same price.

Reason for the cost is that his wholesaler wont budge on bulk order of them. If he sells them any less he is cutting his own throat as the RRP on them are something nuts like 1300 or something along those lines.

Im still happy to do up a group buy if people are still interested. Also got specs on the wildcats, they are a 1 3/4 primaries externally welded, same primary length as Hurricanes and same flex pipe diameter. They are 550 per set FWD/AWD the same.

Let me know.

What's the part number for the AWD Hurricanes, if you know?

Might see if my exhaust place here can get them for me at that price. Save myself the postage, maybe.

well that's still over $100 better then Liverpool exhausts.

so how many people does A1 want for this bulk order to work?

hmm, well im assuming the hurricanes are a better product given the $200 price difference, so i might as well do it right and take a set of the hurricanes.

so if your makng a list, put me as a definite.

heres something interesting.
went to the hurricane dealer in WA today (found it on the hurricaneheaders website) and got a quote for $650..or $695 cant remember which one.
quoted me $895 installed.

i wonder why its so much cheaper..

I would say less mark up on the headers than other shops

They are making money on the Labour and labour =/= parts cost markdowns

I saw dad yesterday at the muff shop (A1) and he showed me the current Hurricane pricelist - BLOODY HELL!! The RRP of the Hurricane is like $1300!! At that price there's no bang-for-buck and who the hell would pay that anyway??

I saw a Wildcat install on a FWD a few years ago and the primaries WERE NOT equal length. I have posted LOTS of info on AMC re header performance and comparison between brands.

For the record I run Hurricanes. My AWD's dyno is available for view in the Streetfighter Manifold in the Raptor area. Fuel economy is good, sweet exhaust note esp from 4000+

I went into Hurricane a couple of weeks ago.
Face to face, straight from the computer they quoted me $885 take away.

A year ago they wanted $1300 fitted!!

I have a very distinctive accent, could someone else call Liverpool Exhaust / Hurricane Headers at Moorebank and get a quote over the phone. 02 9602 3111 or 02 9602 3152.

Otherwise the price that RPW charges is excellent, especially for the non-ceramic coated version.

Gerry

anyone in brisbane call

Craig - Extreme Custom Engineering 0412 432 546

and see what he quotes for a set of custom tuned length pipes, with merge collectors..

for all these prices that you guys are getting quoted.. you can get a hand fabricated set, that will outperform anything available off the shelf..
