bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 21y 9m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 13/02/09 08:27 AM Share Posted 13/02/09 08:27 AM Not too loud with the right sized mufflers.My XForce system (twin 2.5") sounded sporty yet very good at cruise speed and around town, without drone inside the cabin.Here’s a video clip of the exhaust sound, with my son driving.I ran a 11.0 sec pass with that system.I now run the Tunehouse combination 4"/3.5" combo (half the system 4", smoothly tapering into 3.5", and 5" cat) for better torque and a lot more top end power, and with large mufflers it's probably a bit quieter and with deeper sound.I doubt there'd be much difference in sound between the xforce 3.5" single system and dual 2.5", assuming the same mufflers are used.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking of upgrading to the 5" cat though... Might as well do it right the first time.....Brian, have you ported your wastegate and changed to a 12psi actuator?Jim hasnt mentioned the need to as yet... But thinking of just doing it all in one hit..... I'm looking for around 330rwkw...... Mods will be PW Stage 1 cooler with upgraded pipework, F6 CAI, tunehouse exhaust, PW surge tank, Nizpro injectors......

Sweno Member 7 Member For: 15y 8m 3d Gender: Male Location: Albany, WA Posted 20/02/09 10:07 AM Share Posted 20/02/09 10:07 AM Ooh first post .Hi everyone,I was wondering about exhaust systems and after seeing how many people have Xforce systems, I thought I'd have a hunt for one of those.What I'm looking for is a loud exhaust (I'm very into the needless noise) that definitely doesn't have a horrible drone. Reading some posts I see that just removing the centre muffler gives you a meaty sound, but I would much prefer a new turbo-back stainless exhaust.I found this one on eBay, for those of you that may have it, what does it sound and perform like?XFORCE 3.5 INCH TURBO BACK EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH 4" DUMP PIPE AND 3.5" HI FLOW METAL CAT"http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FALCON-BA-BF-XR6-TURBO-UTE-3-5-XFORCE-EXHAUST-XR6T_W0QQitemZ110349813059QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item110349813059&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318"Also what other systems has anyone found that have a loud mean sound? What would you recommend?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
