VY Wagon
Hi, got a vy wagon and looking at getting a 2.5" redback exhaust system put in mainly for a nice sound.... but have also been trying to find out/learn about increasing the power a little more. Not looking to supercharge or turbo, just a little more power & better response when putting the foot down. Any info much appreciated. Thanks ☺

They go well as is, in my experience an exhaust makes no noticeable difference at all. I had a redback 2.5" and was pretty happy with it, but when it eventually broke I was even happier with a relatively standard system.

Manifold insulators, high ratio rockers, cold air intake and tune are the main mods for an ecotec. After that you should look at an l67 imo.
Do a search, there's an abundance of info on the topic.
