It still replacing half of the exhaust system but it does produce a nice burble at idle and not too loud under load. It ended up being exactly what we were looking for on daily driver.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35863-exhaust-options/#findComment-545024 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed under my new fpv tornado fpv has changed the rear muffler and sounds a bit meatier than my bf ute that was written off Edited 17/06/07 01:04 AM by NATHOON Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35863-exhaust-options/#findComment-545043 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only had the car a few weeks before the exhaust change so it was difficult to compare. It would be seat of the pants stuff anyway, no real tangible data to analysis. In theory, it should help HP because its 1/4" larger in pipe size than std.Next on the list is a high flow cat. Hopefully, this will help with spooling turbo upCheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/35863-exhaust-options/#findComment-545642 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's the best size to get for a nice sound? I was thinking 3" maybe 3 1/2"I use mine for everyday use too so I don't want to have anything too loud. What kind of price should I be expecting to pay do you think?
