    Default Exhaust system

    Hi all,

    contemplating doing some work on my stock VY S 2002.

    think about putting an exhaust system in... looking for suggestions!
    currently ive been recommended this setup,
    pacemaker extractors with high flow cat(s) with a 2.5 or 3 inch pipes

    all suggestions welcome... thanks guys
    p.s my knowledge is very basic :P first time car

    from what i'v seen around these forums try keep pipe size down to 2.25 to 2.5 MAx twin.. the bigger u go the more your car will "moo" and drone. gas velocity is important for a good note and minimal annoying drone. but yeah, from what i'v seen the pacemaker extractors with twin cats and a 2.25 -2.5 twin system go very well.. i could be very wrong though.
    Financial Crisis? What crisis? Fuels cheap and so are parts. I dont see no crisis.

    Id personally either go twin 2.5" or single 3" either will sound good with good mufflers, by using these pipes, if you decide to go either a blower or other type of forced induction at least you will have room to move.

    hey brad for a gen3 with stroker and a s/c would a twin 2.5" or twin 3" be better?
    and what size pacies?

    is a hypathetical question just inquiring for possible future mods and are remus exhausts good or the pacemaker full system just as good?

    cpbait... i would defin go for a twin 3" system with 1 7/8" extractors. Look at di filippo (around 3k for a full 3" system with 1 7/8") or pacemaker. Wouldn't look at any other systems personally.
