RAPHOON Donating Members 1,776 Member For: 21y 7m 9d Posted 13/11/04 01:21 PM Share Posted 13/11/04 01:21 PM Some time ago, I was looking for Brisbane based information regarding the removal of the centre muffler, but didn't get too many responses. So I thought I'd do some research and post my findings here....I finally had the work done last week and absolutely love the results. I chose a 2x2.5inch mandrel bent replacement section, with 2 hot dogs replacing the centre muffler.The car now has a much deeper and sharper note to it without being too loud, thanks to the hot dogs. IMHO, the new exhaust note of the car is how it should have come out of the factory.Exotic Exhausts, the guys I chose to do the work:- Are a bunch of rev heads who love performance cars- Love custom work and do a lot of it- Have their own cutting equipment for the end plates, which kept the cost down.Apparently the guys have made up jigs for this mod so duplicating what was done on my car will be quick and easy.I'll attach a few pics of the new system for those who haven't seen it done before.Please feel free to PM me if you want any additional info regarding this mod, or if you want to catch up to hear how it sounds.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the same place and got mine done WOW, what a difference... I too am extremely happy with the new sound.... mine is a ute and the sound is a little different to the sedan... If anyone wants to hear the ute pm me... Am sure that we can meet somewhere so that you can hear the difference.I got a couple of pics as well... but am just in the process of searching for the driver for the digital camera... will post pics as soon as possible...Thanks for the info 51XRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well worth the money in my opinion.Russ,The cost of the unit was $260 ex + $50 for fitting. If you are thinking of modding the exhaust, then this is a good way to start. I just love the new sound.
