DylanXR6 New Member 4 Member For: 4y 8m 1d Posted 14/09/20 03:47 PM Share Posted 14/09/20 03:47 PM I'm looking at some cat-back systems for my 2014 FG XR6 but am a bit confused with what I should do. I have seen catbacks such as the DEA system https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ydw7G1qnS9A but have heard that it is not very good quality. I dont know if I should go with something like the DEA or get one custom made. If anyone knows anything about the DEA exhaust or how to get an exhaust custom made I would love to hear about it. I'm purely going for sound as it's currently too quiet for me. Any help is appreciated. Cheers!

Was about $300-400 more than an X-Force system at the time. I went custom with some specialised mufflers as its virtually as quiet as stock when pottering around, still makes nice sounds when nailing it, and is not a restriction circa 500rwkw. At the time I was also going for the stealth look and it has a stock lool-a-like tip. If your just after noise and power any cheap option will do. They often come up second hand as well.

Dont think I have seen many xr6 N/A with an exhaust. I see lots of SV6's and they sound terrible and are real slow.
