I have to disagree with a few of the comments above.
The early systems made for Walkinshaw by HM/Perry did have issues. They have never denied that. However, to their credit, they re-developed the system and re-released it. To date, there have been no more issues with drone, and it continues to be a great performing and sounding system.
The quality of the systems is fantastic and fit perfectly the first time with no modifications. (Unlike many other systems available at the moment)

Just my personal opinion, based on my information and experiences.

Again dont either bother with the walkinshaw exhaust. I was really excited to have one fitted and to be let down BIGTIME with Walkinshaws drone and NON attention to serious issues raised by customers. I have since found a free flowing 3″ system with NO drone producing more kw and very sweet sounding. Again Hm headers make all the walkinshaw system which are mass produced to a very low quality with very little packing in the boxes and a bad design allowing excessive Drone at that sweet spot of 60km 80km and 110km. they all sound good when you drive em round flat out but the real test is normal driving conditions and thats when things have to made right, Sadly walkinshaw IMO doesnt come close.

Tom Walkinshaw dont own FPV. 1991 Tickford engineering who are Prodrive now own the FPV range along with Ford. The Ford Australia/Tickford partnership produced the original Falcon XR6 and XR8 models. I was at the test track to see the launch of the XRs back then. Back then the XR6 a non turbo was a V8 beater. I hate to have walkingshaw in control of a car company.

I have a walkinshaw/hm headers full exhaust system on a 6 speed auto and its sounds like Sh*#t. whilst I did get resonable power gains with an edit and exhaust I was dissapointed in the walkinshaw?hm headers system which promised so much and delivered a drone and blah sound! Yes Hm Headers make the walkinshaw system for them and dont bother taking issue with Hm headers as they have in my experience never really bothered about aftermarket customer service.

haha yeh thats a good one rod i love there new platic f6 and the other shit. comparing the ‘new’ falcon to this beast is just plain fukin stupid, its a brand new design with a lot more new engineering a lot more then what u could say about the falcon ist just basicly a face lift ba/bf which was a shit performance car itself. cant wait for the series 2 ve as theres talk of hsv supercharging.

Its nicer than the last model but the 2008 Falcon styling beats the Holden hands down. Ford have a winner
