However I dont think anyone would ever want too Clarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something I wish to get done to get a better sound. It's also handy when you DO upgrade the stock cat as once the cat restriction is gone the next point to restrict will be the centre muffler... then it will make a good combination.Ross: I dunno mate, I'm assuming there is a difference probably in the Cat... but without having a look I have NFI. Where/when you going on saturday mate? Might come have a look while she's on the hoist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where/when you going on saturday mate? Might come have a look while she's on the hoist.←sorry mate, only just got round to checking this thread !!!well a bit of letdown - my mates new exhaust guy is more of a part-time contractor type so doesnt have much of a clue re turbo exhausts or pretty much anything . he reckoned it would cost about $160 to remove the centre muffler and replace with straight pipes which is excessive IMO, esp when for a few $$$ more premade hotdog solutions are available as per DAVO61's post earlier this thread..One interesting thing though, I went up to APC up the road who have done exhausts for me before, and had a long chat with one of the guys up there..According to him they have done numerous exhaust setups on NON-EDITED T's, phoons and tornados with none going into overboost/limp mode ?????Im going to post a thread in the mods section re this and see what turns up, wouldnt mind being able to have a nice exhaust on my non-edited F6 and then later on get it tuned properly etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit (Wog tunes)2. Centre Muffler3. Clutch4. Bigger Intercooler, Dump Pipe, Injectors and Tune (all at once)In that order - but over a long term probably.
