    Default Exhaust prices

    Hi, been looking at the exhausts for my ute VE SS ute and got a few quotes from local places. Most places have given me prices for xforce exhausts but all different prices sometimes hundreds of dollars in difference. their different for both stainless steel and mild steel so maybe ones just trying to us off more or could there be some small sort of difference maybe?

    Stainless wont rust out like mild steel thats about the only major difference.

    Xforce is the cheaper alternative IMO, i've got a system on my VY. Drones like a bitch. Mufflers is where the price is, and thats why Xforce is cheap.

    I just paid $2250 for a full pacemaker system, And from riding in a car fitted with this system, they're awesome. You can hear it clearly in the car, but its not a booming drone. The Xforce is.
    That said, if you're on a budget the Xforce system is perfectly fine.

    heard x-force is good, pacemaker definatly worth it if got the money to spend, di-filipo is up the upper end of the market with pacemaker, but look to spend even more again. soop where'd you get that price from? i got quoted $2,600 for a full x-force system fitted from a mate i used to work with and i'm in the trade, they normal charge 2,800 fitted as they said its all in the fitting cost with the headers, but ring x-force and get a price of them, its a lot cheaper if your willing to have a go fitting it all up, its same as pacemaker all bolt up ready to go.
    $800 for cat back stainless, $700 for headers and then cats on top, can't remember price for cats, but works out heaps cheaper, depending on what you've been quoted.
