Goliath Member 383 Member For: 14y 7m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 22/11/12 02:56 AM Share Posted 22/11/12 02:56 AM Hey guys,Just looking for your input/advice on changing my exhaust.Currently the car has it's centre muffler chopped out, sounds like absolute crap! Now I want to change it but not back to stock and not sure what to go for. I know I want a deeper, fuller note and something with less "drone", although I know there will be drone regardless.Current options:- Put resonator in the centre- Put centre muffler back, delete rear muffler- 3.5" Mild Steel cat back- Dual 2.5" Mild Steel cat backNot looking into going turbo back, cbf retuning (happy with current power) and spending the extra cash for the dump + cat.For the cat back options I have chosen MIld Steel as they apparently give a deeper note, which is what I'm looking for and also are a fairly cheap option.Let me know what you guys think!Gaz.

Think I've seen them for around the low $500's? Might have to wait till after XMAS to give myself a new present though and put up with the atrocity of my exhaust.

It will cost you abit more but at least everything is all done with the tune. I have a xforce 3.5" twin inlet dump to cat and staright back. No drone in mine but it is a manual though.

I'm happy with my current tune/power and have upgraded the cat already. Plus if I go turbo back, I'll end up porting the turbo, upgrading the actuator, retuning etc. I'm trying to keep it relatively cheap without needing to do anything else to the car.

But if it doesn't need modifying could be worth paying a bit more Edited 23/11/12 10:42 AM by egoxr6tute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 4m 4d Posted 25/11/12 09:35 AM Share Posted 25/11/12 09:35 AM Rear muffler removal for me and its a pretty good note. Not overly deep but for a 6cyl can't complain at all. Everyone I know with the rear muffler delete is happy with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
