Cheap Exhaust Setup

[GR8XR6]

OK I have a stock XR6 exhaust atm. The plan is to get a V3 cooler from Rapid. Therefore I am in need of a cheap option for the exhaust for the time being until I save up the cash for a large exhaust setup. I have a ballastic 5" cat with 3.5" in and out. I am replacing the cat as it still has the original after 145k km's. What else do I need before taking it to an exhaust place? I am looking at getting rid of the centre muffler which they can do! Is there anything else I need before going there?? Cheap options please! Do I need a bigger dump? Do I need a Y pipe??

I made 302rwkw without a dump, so yeah it can wait.

a redback catback 2.5" twin will set you back $750 ish fitted, that might not be cheap enough yet though.

you could get your stock cat 'hi flowed' for $150 ish. that's what I have and it flows sooooo much better than stock and is pretty cheap.

I guess that's an option and you could keep your new cat till you have the coin for the full system.

If your gonna get a big, full exhaust later on, just do the cat for now, and save the dollars.

It'll see you to low 300s, then the full system fitted later on will take it higher.

You can change the centre muffler for hot dogs if you want some extra noise for the time being, but it will all start to add up and befor you know it, you'll be thinking you should have just waited and done the big system.

If your doing the cat Darren, you may as well do the dump too.

I'd say as a cheap exhaust mod, do the front half of the exhaust... the back half can wait.

Mate whack ya cat in and remove the centre muffler

if I was you I would get the rear end first, dump and cat, and the the rear if you think you need it. ppl have pushed 300+ with dump cat and stock rear end.

Or, don't fit anything until you have all that you need and do it in one hit.

Will save you tuning dollars too.
