Hi there i want to upgrade my exaust on my S2 V6 exec from the stock 2.25 inch system to a 2.5 inch system.
I can get hold of an almost new (2 months old) 2.5 inch exaust from an 02 HSV Monaro for arround $100NZ.
It is a complete exaust apart from the cats.
I want to upgrade so that i have a better flowing exaust and for the more throaty sound that the motor will make. :yeah:
Would this bolt onto my 04 V6 exec? is it worth it?
Thanks.

Not sure if it will bolt on or not, though if your after sound, the 2 1/2" sports exaust is well worth it, you'll get a bit more top end as well, someone else might know if it will bolt on or not i wouldnt have a clue, i got sports exaust brand new with chrome tip, for $280 suppled and installed

Hey there Kiwi,

Do you have a single cat or double cats under there?

Regardless of that question I'm pretty sure it will not bolt on and some cutting and welding will be required but I could be wrong.

Win't bolt straight on...

You will have to have it modified abit...

No point in getting a SS exhaust on a stock ecotec... there would be no extra gains for it compared to say a 2.5 single.

Good Luck with it though

Raptor has a HSV system on his VY, Picked up something like 2kw before charger went on....
I have Custom Twin 2.5" bolted to Pacemakers, I did it at the same time as rockers so as for gains, Yeh a lot, but unsure wheather it was mainly from rockers or not...
