Rage 3" Catback On Fg Xr6T...waste Of Time Or ?

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

As title states, there's a super cheap catback available ATM, but just wondering if I should even bother? Any drone or tinny sound to it?

I was reading some old posts and a few people have been saying a single 3" exhaust is actually worse than the stock BA/BF exhausts???? So by that logic the single 3" catback would be sh!thouse for an FG which has a better/more efficient exhaust than the B series????

This is for SEDAN.....so I think I saw that the stock system is mainly 3" all the way through except the middle muffler pipes that connect to cat pipe (which has twin pipes in a funny squiggly pattern).

So firstly anyone actually used this NZ brand of exhaust, or is it a waste of time/money?

Will it help when I put my ballistic cat in and my round 1 tune (hoping for around low 300's or high 290 something) and does it sound better than say the middle muffler removal?

Again old posts people were just saying remove centre muffler and high flow cat and that enough for 320-350rwkw ?? so by that logic in an FG the stock exhaust plus middle remove plus high flow cat could handle even more power?

The reason I'm hesitant about centre muffler removal is cause everyone seems to hate the sound, some of them drone and of coarse heaps of exhaust shops tell me people come in, pay to remove, and then come back one week later and either put back old system or buy something different cause they HATED it lol

Any help would be muchly appreciated

Cheers!

If it makes any difference...planned mods are going to be:

BPR CAI with Plaz Delete Pipe

1000cc Injectors (I think the Bosche ones?)

Ballistic High flow cat

F6 cooler with PW intercooler pipes

Was considering getting a catback of some sort (only if its beneficial in obtaining a few more kws)

X Cal + Tune by Monsta Torque (so level 1 tune) and still tossing up whether to stick to 98 or go P100

I'm thinking the P100 might be enough to push me into the 300 club?

I had a fg xr6 turbo removed the middle muffler loved the sound it made did the same with the fg f6 I have now guess its down to what you like I like the tractor sound haha sounds sweet as

Get one of these.

Will cost much less and effect on overall power output will be the same as a 3" exhaust

Wtf is that Luke????? Is that supposed to be a joke and really it's like some weird butt plug or something lol hahhaha

Can you PM me your opinion then...or explain it here why its not worth it? Lol can you txt or call me so I can ask you all my questions regarding xr6t's LOL I have a few hahaha jk .... sorta

^^^ are you trying to say a 3" exhaust is like plugging up something on my car....hence making the car run like poo?

True....see I have only seen them on you tube and they sounded ok...but everyone else hates them...maybe I do like the sound lol

The problem is I should find someone in WA who has done this mod and hear it in real life...but idk anyone in Perth who is still rocking the middle muffler removal hahhaha

I think what luke is saying, is that you should use a butt hole plug instead.

Have you been on any cruises out of curiosity?

Don't waste your money on a 3" exhaust as you already have one.

Rather go twin 3"(secret squirel stuff) or get a single 4" if you are spending the money.

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

Lol...I thought it was something along those lines...but I don't understand why? Cause if stock system is almost 3" all the way through....then wouldn't getting a proper 3" system be beneficial? Even if its a minimal improvement? Or are you saying the improvement isn't worth the $$$ outlay?

And nah marco...haven't been on any cruises yet....most of the time there would be some other stuff on...or my mrs cbf coming with me or my car was farked or I was too poor lol ... plus I might get bored on the cruise not knowing anyone and being in a stock car and the fact I went on a couple cruises in the past and was super bored (cause didn't know anyone again plus wasted bulk fuel lol).

But maybe one day I can be brave and drive with the cool kids of Perth hahaha

Keep standard cat back and go e85

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

^^^ hahahah funny one!

I would if

a) e85 was cheap like in eastern states and

b) my closest servo wasn't 50 mins away from me!

So everyone hates 3" single cause not much benefit over stock? But what about noise? I just want it a bit louder cause too quite....or will a tune with 13-16psi fix that issue? Lol

[Ralph Wiggum]

The pictures I posted is a moto-x bike muffler plug. Keeps water etc when washing bikes.

Interesting that you both went straight to the butt plug option.

Speaks volumes about your personal lives..........

[PTR_NITRO_FG]

Sure it shows that I clearly don't know what a butt plug looks like lol

So 3" single catback would be restrictive/ no benefit over stock? Should I remove middle muffler or does that sound crap?

But why is it restrictive??? Replacing 2 twin 2.25 pipes (I assume) with a single 3" should be beneficial? Or am I just not understanding the way exhausts work

Plus stock exhaust not loud enough :/ #fgproblems hahaha

Don't waste your money on a 3" exhaust as you already have one.

Rather go twin 3"(secret squirel stuff) or get a single 4" if you are spending the money.

Didn't even see this part of your post lol yeah I would love a 3" twin manta...but apparently you cant buy the catback/ you cant make the stock cat/dump match the twin 3"

...plus $3200+postage+install for a full exhaust is wayyyy too much for me lol

And I heard 4" exhausts are super hard to get on...cause so big...plus they expand and can hit chassis or bottom of car. Plus scraping on speed humps or sh!tty angled roads (carpark, driveways, etc).

The other option was 3.5" xforce catback with stainless mufflers (apparently that's the best option with m/s piping and s/s mufflers for sound?) .... and that would match up to my euro 4 cat pipe with high flow balistic cat welded in (it was lengthened as apparently even though xforce advertise as bolt on....its actually shorter and therefore around 100-150mm needs to be welded to cat pipe to make it meet the beginning of xforce catback exhaust)...or so the guy who sold it to me said
