    Default vk exhaust/extractors

    hey guys just after abit of help
    my vk efi 6 has extractors and a redback exhaust
    but its got 2 mufflers, one just like a long circular one halfway down the car
    and a 2nd circular one at the end where they normally are.
    if i get rid on one will it sound good or bad ?
    and would it go bad or better?
    thankkkyoou..

    ok, parts lingo lesson for the day: the first one is your primary muffler and the end one is your secondary

    personally, i think it will sound crap, go worse and be a bugger of a job to get rid of unless you have a pipe bender and mig welder.

    ummm, thats about it really.

    On the early girls taking one out won't make much difference to anything apart from noise. I'd remove the rear one, it will be a bit louder and a bit drony.

    then im guessing that having a back one will be good, maybe if that sounds sh!t then try a hotdog or something in the front..
