Johnmal Member 39 Member For: 8y 7m 5d Posted 23/09/16 06:09 AM Share Posted 23/09/16 06:09 AM Just curios to know what's the difference between 2, I assume performance exhaust is better and louder? How do I know what mine is? Does it really make a difference, I was quoted $4000 for a performance exhaust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you didn't pay 4k for one... You can tell what yours is by looking at it as exhaust manufacturers tag their pipes, usually. Look it up with the manufacturer or ask the person who added the modification to the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A $4k exhaust would want to give me wristys or be made from pure titanium and weigh next to nothing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said if I need to improve it even better I would need to get the upgrade and that would cost $4k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Falcons that run 9 second quarters don't need $4k exhausts. Hard to really say if this exhaust guy is trying to fleece you HARD or if it's a top quality custom job he's quoting you. It would want to be twin 3" or a big single 4" stainless system with excellent performing cats (ie could flow to 1000hp) and sound like angles singing for that price! Oh and zero fitment issues (plus give you wristys). Edited 23/09/16 09:37 AM by -Stever- 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that money you could buy a sweet welder and other tools, do a welding course and make it yourself!! Of course this isn't for everyone and that's why we pay a little more to get a hassle free, high quality, guaranteed proven, walk in and walk out experience. I concur with Stever, there would want to be a month's worth of wristies for that price. It's honestly less than a day's work for a bloke who knows the tools.

I'm glad you came here and asked first John. Maybe in that $4k there's an xcal, walbro 460 injectors, flapper mod and a farkload of dyno time to get that 4 inch dump and cat working. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were never told exactly what he was getting for his money. Maybe he was quoted for this fitted and is only getting partially shafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
