Fg Xr6 Na & Turbo

[PMoney]

Hey guys

my old man has a 09 FG XR6 NA sedan, he loves it to death haha. its got a Growler intake fitted currently and hes looking at exhaust options. he was thinking of getting Pacemakers with a 200cell cat down the track but he just wants a nicer tone currently, so we would just thinking of going a cat back at the moment. I know Xforce and manta make ones but ive heard just getting a F6 typhoon/XR6T cat back works pretty well considering how much cheaper they are.

So my question is; will a stock dual XR6T catback fit his NA XR6? does the turbo dump and cat bolt to the catback in the same place as the NA header and cat bolt to the catback or is the dump shorter so the catback bolts to the catback closer to the motor?

Cheers

They are different - and the turbo exhaust will be way too noisy on a N/A - it will drone.

Tone wise, it is a hard choice. I have heard a Manta cat back which sounded okay - no experience with the Xforce. I doubt changing the cat (alone) will make very much ( if any) difference to engine power but a retune for 98 octane fuel with a full exhaust change will - there are some threads on this that show some interesting results.

The FG is rated at 195 at the engine on 95 octane fuel but some say they will go about 10 - 12 more on a strict diet of 98.

Stock turbo exhausts on NA's are fairly proven. Keeping the stock manifold should mean theres no power or torque loss anywhere.

Theyre supposed to be quiet at idle and loud at WOT but ive never liked my B series one particularly, and I'm looking to stick on a Di Fillipo 3 inch single at some point in the future.
