    Ute Spoilers: Original or Aftermarket?

    Where there any factory fitted spoilers to any of the sandman utes? Or any ute range?

    I have seen a few photos that have the same rear spoilers such as this.

    Rear definitely not factory fitted. Might have been dealer fitment like HQ-HJ stripes. Not much on that green ute looks factory though. If it is a HZ the following are a few:

    HX grille
    Front bar
    No tonneau holes/clips
    Twin exhaust
    Tail-light surrounds
    Rear spoiler
    Chrome fuel cap and spill tray
    Black mirrors
    Stripe colour

    That is from what I can see. Could easily be HX then other stuff is not factory.

    Hey Byron.
    In your information you have, what size single exhaust system is it for 308?
    I spoke to an exhaust guy, and he reckons that it has twin 1 7/8 engine pipes which goes into 1 5/8 tailpipe.
    This sounds WAYYYY to small. He said it's more for torque in a commercial vehicle.
    So what can you tell me???

    My Premier has it's original exhaust and it is 1 7/8" with a step down to a smaller pipe muffler. As far as torque is concerned I reckon he is full of sh!t. I'd bet my left knacker than you dyno my Premier with it's current system and then Dyno it with the 2.5" twin it will be getting and it has much more power and torque than the original.

    I want to take the 3" single off and put a single 2 1/2" on.
    I was stoked with the single my HG had on it, so i want to do the same again.
    It joined into single next to the gearbox and i can't seem to find a new system the same.

    There is a pic of those Bob Jane utes in the latest Aus Muscle Car mag. They made a good seat for some tidy looking pit girls!

    Bob Jane did do them for the utes.
    held on with three PK screws each side.. and stayed there..

    our promo girls use to lean against them while being driven around Lakeside..

    would have some old photo's somewhere.
