I finally got round to fitting it today and found it to be quite good, came with the gaskets require, all I had to purchase was some bolts to join the centre and tail sections.While fitting I found that the centre and tail section flanges didnt meet flush, that was underisable. Removed the exhaust and beat the flanges a bit to make them line up better. Refitted put the gaskets in and some red rtv and found it to take up the small gap left.The note is fantastic, quiet when cruising along and nice tone when giving it a boot full.I will be fitting a xforce cat/dump pipe in aug when I get the ute tuned.Also has anyone else had the fitting issues and what have you done or general comments on these exhausts.

My flanges had a little gap but found it closed up when I tightened the bolts up. I finished mine off with some slip on 3 inch tips that are rolled edge like factory ones.With stock dump and cat I found a little increase in power and love the note and get a few comments on it.Changing the cat to a 4.5inch 100cell real soon for a tune so will see how it goes then, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found that mild steel tends to sound deeper than stainless, mainly because xforce etc have very thin walls to keep the price down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dents or anything bad that would cause a restriction or disrupted airflow.I gave it a crappy respray just to reprotect it. Deals are out there, I couldn't pass it up.

Bit too much drone and bit vibie. Edited 20/05/11 10:08 AM by Wenier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
