    Default Twin 2.5" or Twin 3" for vx ls1

    hi all,

    i have a twin 2.5" exhaust atm that has cracked round the rear of one of the mufflers so its time for a new one, im trying to toss up between another 2.5" with straight through mufflers or a twin 3" that also has rear mufflers. it has a decent note atm but im a bit bored with it. how much louder would the 3" considering that it also does have rear mufflers?

    thanks

    Sticking a Chev badge on any Commodore is like putting a Nissan badge on a VL

    yeah leaning towards that, for some reason its cheper than the twin 2.5 aswell, which is a bonus, im guessing if it didnt have the rear resonator it would drone like a bitch?

    xforce are ok but there quite thin and they let a lot of sound out of the pipe and mufflers so there is less nose out the end if that makes sense

    ok, so i bought the difilippo 2.5" catback and all i can say is where did my noise go? i thought difilippo are known to be loud, i get a whole lot of drone in 5-6th gear between 80-100ks and no roar anywhere else? does anyone happen to want a brand new difilippo with chrome tips? would i find any more noise without a resi on it? my old exhaust didnt drone without a resi at all will this drone without its resi?

    /me dissapointed in metrosexual sounding ss

    good sounding ls1

    the sureflo has less volume than my 2.5" straight through, but a much deeper note, and no drone

    should get a bit louder with time too.
    girlfriend thinks it sounds better, and apparently its much louder outside the car than in the cabin.

    well, idle hands are the devils plaything, had the arvo off so went down to midas today and go 2x 2.5" tubes 570mm in length with flared ends.

    chopped the resi out with stubs still so i can weld it back in if i ever want to but i dont think i ever will. migged up the new section, sounds mad, roars like it should
