timmyb9 New Member 12 Member For: 10y 3m 13d Posted 31/03/15 06:10 AM Share Posted 31/03/15 06:10 AM Hi everyone,Got a completely stock F6 and was thinking of getting a X-force Varex Muffler, just wandering what peoples thoughts are regarding just doing the muffler and running the original FPV exhaust system? Will it still sound good or do I need to do the complete system? And would there be any slight performance increases with stock system running the Varex muffler?Cheers in advance,Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or if you want performance without the sound upgrade your dump pipe to a 4inch with highflow cat and get a tune oh and if you want performance and sound go a full turbo back system with tune. Sometimes a full turbo back system can cause issues with boost control and you may also need to port your wastegate and get an actuator and larger flapper fitted. Heaps of info out there on this topic have fun reading but don't be afraid to ask if unsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really only designed for when you are putting around town, on the highway or see a RBT. But cops have caught on to them now was they have been around for 6 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiflow cat or bigger dump pipe would be another story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
