How exactly would that help? His exhaust sounded good when he first got it....Now it doesn't sound that same as when he first got it...


SAV....not 100% sure, but maybe exhausts need to "settle" in a bit...

but its a dramtic change before i would put my foot down it would go ROARRRRRRRRRR 2 weeks later now it goes meow

May be he just bought a sh*++y exhaust system I believe do your homework before you buy anything, because what you pay for is what you get these days.

[SAV_117]

a few ppl from this site have gone to these guys and are happy with the results so yeah i was just wondering

[black as]

Would you buy a sound system without listening to it first

[SAV_117]

well i figured straight through with one muffler should be louder

[SAV_117]

really i just wanna know why it isnt as loud anymore like what happens to the muffler in that time not complaing still sounds good but yeah

Who did you exhaust and what brand is it also are you running extractors?

[SAV_117]

aussie discount mufflers its not really a brand lol just straight through pipe one muffler no extractors

Dont take this the wrong way but so many people have a V6 and want them to sound like a V8 and honestly you can try as hard as you want but it wont happen.
My advice is spend a little more $$$ and ring someone like Difilipo in Melton Victoria and 100% you will like the note even if its a v-6.

I have a 5.7 litre ute and a 6 litre SV8 both with difilipo exhaust systems on them and I actually get asked so many times what exhaust system do you have because they sound so good.

It cost you nothing to talk to them abd honestly you wont be disappointed, forget these no name cheap brands you are throwing money away.

Anyway there my thoughts good luck hope you kill the meow and end up with a roaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr

[SAV_117]

haha thanks mate i know its not gonna sound like an 8 just wanted a bit when i take off and ill give them a call and find out thanks for the info

[black as]

as you drive carbon settles in the pipes making the sound slightly diff. like what has been said before you get what you paid for.

Wooow....So I was partly right??

Next time don't be a stinge SAV LOL

[ashbox]

for a decent system i've been quoted around the $600 mark for a single 2.5" cat back sys in mild steel. me personally i would've gone for a custom system so that you know it wont drone and provide some small gains.

I payed almost that much for a custom 2.5, and it drones like a bitch lol

So you go in and say "fit this exhaust system, but if I don't like it take it off and keep going until I find one I like?"

Like that ever happens....

Exhausts do settle a bit yes, as mentioned, carbon does build up and it changes the note, also the glass packing in the muffler loosens up and the note changes too. Usually they get louder and less 'raspy'. Maybe there is a problem with yours. Or you are just getting used to it. The change from a stock system to a sports one is pretty dramatic. After a couple of weeks you are probably just used to it so it seems quieter.

Mine roared the first week or so .... and it was loud man... but it quietened after a while for the reasons people have stated ... Mine is still fairly loud though and NO drone....

[Zeussy]

Just a quick question..

what brand exhausts are you guys running on your 6's, on my VT, I had some extractors, not sure on the brand, a cheaper set, not pacemaker.. and a redback, single 2.5inch straght through and it sounded wayyy too tinny, like a ricer almost, and some bad drone..

I want to throw an exhaust on the VY, but not if its going to sound like my VT, Is DiFilippo the way to go for 6's aswell?? or a full custom job? where does them?

Cheers fellas...

I've had my exhaust on for a few weeks now - lukey mufflers and resonators. When i left i was warned that the exhaust note would change after a few weeks.
Mine got louder and crackles on the downshifts a bit more though, so i don't know what's up with yours

[ClairBear]

I had a custom made 2.5 inch mild stainless one fitted to my VT and as she settled in she got louder, which is what they told me would happen when they fitted it. As mentioned it's to do with the carbon build up.
