I haven't heard it but I'm told the note is awesome .....going to do the works (like Anthony) on a sedan in about six weeks (including chipping and induction).. still getting the parts together... difficult in these early days, we are still finding out what works our ute is going to have its centre muff removed and chipped first as its exhaust is reasonably straight through compared to the sedan... doing this out of interest/info mainly keep in touchcheersRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he said it droned?? (He may have done the full Turbo system on the N/A not sure?) It will be interesting to see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony-XR6T Member 14 Member For: 22y 1m 12d Location: Canberra Posted 27/05/03 05:31 AM Share Posted 27/05/03 05:31 AM Just out of curiosity, I have a couple of questions. I assume you have a sedan, and is it an Auto1. Does it still have 2 mufflers2. Is it stainless3. and finally, what did it set you back (if it's not a rude question)ThanksSingle 3inch pipe through to a high flow cat through to a resonator through to a tip. All mandrel bends. Mild steel. Yes ... Sedan Yes .... AutoCost was less than what I expected and was discounted as a favour through a friend.ACT exhaust is offering a 15% discount for ACT club members. Join Now Next meeting is on Thursday 5th June at Gregories 7:30pm if you want to have a look and a listen.Falchoon ... yes they are opposite Gregories in Braddon.Fuel economy has improved but by what percentage it is hard to tell (too early).Example Drove to Winton on the weekend and averaged 10.6l/100km . 2 months ago I drove to Wangaratta and averaged 12.8l/100km.The Winton trip was a full load 3 adults 2 kids full boot. The Wangaratta trip was just me and a tool box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll even try to take it back to Unigroup and put it back on the dyno (as long as they don't charge me to much) and post the results alsoHows that?I'll take a beer from everyone who finds the information useful :lol: which will probably mean I'll be drunk for weeks :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very hard to discribe, it's like a mix between a V8 and WRX. It's not the same note from a 3". My personal opinion is that it's better. two reasons, first it's not as loud, and second you can hear the burble better IMO.Also, I'd like to thank Scott from Carline Gosford for all his adviseHere it is, ready for some surgeryClick HereStandard ExhaustClick HereCentre muffler from the rear (No dirty comments please!) Click HereCentre muffler rear, close up Click HereCentre muffler from the front Click HereCentre muffler from the front, close up Click HereCentre muffler removed Click HereCentre muffler removed (another angle) Click HereReplaced with straight through pipes Click HereOk, all done.Click HereAll this for less than $100.At this stage I haven't had it back on the Dyno, but impressions are that it has a little more bottom end pull... It could be my imagination, and be put down to a deeper sound, but it seems better.I'm hoping to get it back on the Dyno to see for sureFeel free to PM me a "virtual beer" for this information :lol: Edited 23/08/03 01:28 PM by Photomanager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a slight bend but otherwise straight through. Thought it may be of interest to some people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
