(nothing protrudes with the tongue removed, so if I cant GET one ill probably just make one.)2. What is the best/easiest/cheepest way of making it a bit louder? I dont want anything rediculous, just a bit more volume. I have heard that removing the center mufler is a good way to go for more volume, but is this detremental to performance/economy?

I have heard that removing the center mufler is a good way to go for more volume, but is this detremental to performance/economy?Hi XA Mont, Glad you finally got it AOK, Is excatley the same as mine, other than colour. Be warned on the Utes exhaust system drone via the plastic tub at low speed / legal speeds . Is poor , I put a system on my XR8 and improved performance and fuel economy, but the drone noise at low speed drove me nuts ! In a sedan is AOK . Im looking now at some small teak bits, since I thrashed it for a day around the track at 1800 klms , but done it a wealth of good cleaning out the insides, Now at nearly 3000 It runs super smooth and quiet and quick with no throttle effort involed . Im really happy with it . No Squeaks, no Rattles, I razzed the brake pads , still work but burnt them out so will change them for harder ones, feels like a Commodore, but discs look fine . Stuffed my R/H/F tyre so need a new one soon.Also a tip , I put 50 psi in the tyres for the track day and have left it in, Road noise from them heaps less than at 40 or so when new, now they are razzed up a bit should be worse road noise, but no, the opposite , bet it I let them down they would wail handles and grips just fine molling to work and back.I still think my seats are so uncomfortable on my arse, but have realised its just me, I drive trucks 12 hours a day and get a pounding non stop , lol , lol, hop in the ute to go home , and I think gee these seat are crap, but Id just spend all day in a " bounce and shake " Im looking at doing some suspension work soon , Will do a bigger cold air intake , and tune , Flash Tune ive been told is and whole exhaust system ( providing it doesnt drone me out ) , but will work the others with the standard exhaust to start with .Glad you like it XA Mont , worth the wait mate !

An exhaust analogy perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(nothing protrudes with the tongue removed, so if I cant GET one ill probably just make one.)Which tow bar did you get? I got the Hayman Reese setup, but am a little disappointed as everything is behid the bumper, including the pin to hold the tongue (no biggie) but also the safety chains, meaning to hicth them up you have to lay on the ground. It appears they have cut the hole in the bumper so I doubt there's a plug / cap available.2. What is the best/easiest/cheepest way of making it a bit louder? I dont want anything rediculous, just a bit more volume. I have heard that removing the center mufler is a good way to go for more volume, but is this detremental to performance/economy?Dunno about noise, but interesting that going by the colour one of your pipes appears to have been much hotter then the other.
