    Default ABBA FAN plz help

    Hey mate, this is a Falcon question...

    What exhaust setup would you recommend for an EL Falcon six... now it's stock, but she'll get an intake upgrade and tune,

    The exhaust has a few cracks and needs replacing, don't really care about sound, after performance...

    would an extractor, hiflow cat and a 2.5inch system with straight thru flow mufflers be any good?

    cheers mate...

    google: boosted falcon forums

    very much alive, an is dedicated to the E series.

    and just to be helpful

    pacemaker extractor + standard cat + single 2 half inch + offset middle muffler + rezi or hot dog on the end


    wont drone and wont be loud either. and performance? none. you want it throw a snail on it.

    i had pacemaker extractors PH4499, high flow 2.5" venom steel cat and a lukey 2.5" system. sounded great with no loss of response. was a bit loud but i only had 1 muffler so a rear resonator would have helped that

    I slapped a 2.5 inch redback catback on my ecotec VS with only a mace CAI and extractors on, and she lost a bit of throttle response, and seem to lose a bit down low.. later on i added the mace plenum spacer, 4inch induction piping and the mace memcal and then the exhaust really came into it's own.. the note changed.. was much deeper, and the throttle response and acceleration was great...

    I'm worried that if i go for a 2.5 inch exhaust, with extractors, cat and SS inductions CAI the falcon will lose a bit down low

    using pacemakers will net you a massive low down gain. i dont know why u keep mentioning your ecotec.. the only thing it has in common with the falcon 4l is that its got 6 cylinders

    i mentioned the ecotec because it introduced me to the principle of too big an exhaust for a stock engine.. and i wish to avoid repeating the mistake

    4499's are the go. the standard exhaust is so rubbish that a 2.5" will be a huge improvement and is the ideal size for that engine. your only problem may be drone and volume which can be partially fixed with a rear resonator

    cant speak from personal experience but they do have smaller secondaries and are paired correctly. if you have the cash id say go for it.
