N/a 6 Plus V8 Twin Exhaust

[falcon73]

When I get it all done I'll get pics and hope sound recording, I like a tip on my car the standard exhaust has a dump and I coundnt see it when we first got, first thing cut the dump and put a tip on.

Hopefully all is good when I put it on from what I have seen it should be good for a few kw gains, heres hoping.

definately just put the V8 system in. Its stainless, wont drone and will flow all that you need. If you went out to buy that new probably worth 1k

$1k damn I thought I spent too much at $300.00 for the whole exhaust, fitting it myself so that will keep costs down too.

I thoguht that it would be big enough as I am going from 2.5 in pacies outlet to a 3 in cat to all up together 4.5 inch worth of piping and mufflers out

I have seen the 3 in cat put on another ba n/a and it helps increase the flow even though the pacies only have a 2.5 outlet.

Got the cat the other day and am almost finished just have to have the centre section welded a bit and she is ready to go on but got a couple of other things to get before hand other mod bits.

Putting this on here so thers who are tinking of this type of mod can see the process and requirements and also hopefully some nice gains.

Hey mate ...

I simply put on some headers, and a full cat-back system. Noise was good, Power felt up, but the exhaust didn't have the sort of growl I was after. I have since removed the rear section of piping (muffler included) and replaced it with a muffler-less section of twin piping with twin BF GT tips either side. The BF GT tips seem to be a perfect fit to the XR Rear skirt, and the exhaust note itself is awesome ... Very loud on throttle and a nice burble on idle.

Just a quick pic to dwell on.

twin BF GT tips either side

Those tips look horn!!!

Okay people, All is sweet with the exhaust, by the way XR-GHIA tips are nice, I have got all the exhaust welded up and it is at the ready stage and I hope going by all the measuring and cutting and smoothing out it all fits in neatly and provides good power and sound, but alas I have also got other bits and pieces to go on and still need to get some further so I will state what I have and if anyone has any further mods to add please mention as I want to do as much at once so hopefully the power jump is huge.

So far

Pacies,3in hi flo cat XR8 twin 2.25 inch exhaust

Shiftkit

Rehoned and shaped 3 inch air induction pipe

Pod air filter in box to reduce heat soak

Tickford air scoop

Full service

Computer cover ( at least a kw there hey ,ha ha)

Air box decal ( another kw or maybe two, even bigga ha ha)

Cost on these so far $370.00 for all of the above

What I still want to get

Power thermostat for a BA N/A 2-3kw is good

Underdrives quoted for 25% extra gain

I would like a flash tune or even unichip but for the prices seen never gonna happen unless I win lotto. so is there anything else that would probably be classified as a cheap mod I could do to gain a kw or 2 as added up it all counts

Bloody good value for money!!

Sell it privatley and buy a second hand XR6T.

If you want a noticable difference.Do the cams,port the head and flash tune it aswell.I know money is the main thing stopping you but the mods you are doing wont do sweet bugger all to your peak power.You will still get smashed by stock XR6T,s.

Good luck with your exhaust and other mods in the future

Mostly the gear is second hand but reconditioned or cleaned up, a couple of new bits, Best advice I received when I first got the Pacies off a bloke who transformed is xr6 ute to a xr6t ute was to take my time dont rush ask heaps of questions no matter how silly they sound and research.

The more I can get and put on all together the better it feels, also work with what I have to my means and not over budget, I am one that works with what I have money was tight when the Falcon was purchased so the idea of a XR6T was just an idea would have been nice though but I have a Falcon XT so I will work on the best mods for lowest costs to get the best gains. Plus its not the most common modded car as most go with a turbo of course they will go faster but in all the falcon should should be able to pull respectable times and pull away fairly rapidly from most holdens 6 and 8 which will be the most satisfying thing for a daily driver with baby seats and all.
