Specifically engineered to clear the standard floor pan lines, chassis layout, and independent rear suspension geometry of the early VT Sedan platform, this high-flow configuration replaces the traditional rear tail resonator assembly with an unrestricted, straight-through \"Rear Pipe Only\" section. By maximizing gas flow velocity and eliminating restrictive factory rear texturing, it delivers a loud, raw muscle car rumble on throttle. It is the ultimate match for drivers searching for maximum sound output and optimized mid-to-high end scavenging performance from their 5.0L V8 classic sports sedan. \u003cem style=\"color: #222222 !important;\"\u003eNote: Fits Holden VT Series 1 Sedan models (1997–1999) equipped with the 5.0L Holden V8 engine configuration;
