I am looking for a sound outta the car I dont mind a lil noise. Just want the car to sound nice. also is it worth replacing the whole centre part or is it easier to just get the centre muffler cut out and pipes welded in. cheersNathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that the ones my mate has removed / replaced the muffler on ended up sounding sh*t for little if any power increases. I got my cat gutted and it made 26 rwkw difference. Its a huge increase. Has anyone else done the cat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are in NZ, it is illegal and you expose yourself to heavy fines.The centre muffler removal will only improve sound, but is worthwhile if replaces with pipes and hotdogs.

I have hot dogs, as I wanted to make sure I had no drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
