Hey guys.
I just took my ve sv6 rear mufflers off. Was curious on how it would sound and i gota say, dayum. Its pretty nice..
But im just worried if it would stuff up my engine? or like underneath the car? Will anything happen?
Cheers
Hussy

Now all you need is a ghostcamn and you'll be the coolest!
But seriously. They're on there for a reason. If you want your car to sound better spend some $$ and buy a proper exhaust system. It wont do anything bad for the car. It will just make you look like a wanker when you try to show off to people.
"Yeah, my car sounds so sick"
"Oh, what did you do to it?"
"Took off my rear mufflers!!!!"
"Ummm....oookaaaay"

And tinsnips, i wont be leaving it like that, ill be getting a full exhaust system or the system that kuzman has done. Like i said, i just took it off from bordem.
but sure, ill post a vid up tonight. hopefully
Changed my OPG rear mufflers to Xforce 2.25 catback system today and started the car with no mufflers and TBH it sounds horrible definitely need mufflers
Probably give that "V8 sound" it's been missing

mufflers give the car the right note- unless of course youve got a race engine, in which case no mufflers required.
But last time I checked, people like us with V6's dont have the 'right' engine... so maybe best if you only run it with mufflers.
lol relax guys. Im putting them back on tomorow morning. I was just curious.
I did that once, it sounded fkn horrible. The drone was deafening and I was honestly embarrassed to drive the car. Only reason I had them off was so the mufflers were not hot so I could get new ones put on without waiting.
i thought u were doing what Kuzman did....he doesnt have a full xforce system does he??? :/
if its that hard just go xforce, you'll somehow be able to justify the extra $$
Kuzman's Supercharged SV6 - MACE TUNED
I'd love to say chortle fcktard but that would be just stooping to your level...you know the one just below imbecile. If ya can't say anything reasonable, constructive or enlightning then why bother other than to be a twat?!
As far the the mufflers go Hussy....you might just have to bite the bullet and spend on some rear mufflers first and then go from there.

i have the x force system ... and pacey extractors and cats ... yes the drone is quite bad at sub 2500 rpm but after that is ok ... i would recomend doing what kuzman said ... as i understand i dont think that drones very much and is probably cheaper ... as for taking the rear mufflers off i tried it and actually debated about putting straight through pipes on the rear and loosing them altogether ... now that i did the whole system i am much happier with the way it sounds because it drones a lot less then with no mufflers... if you are around the penrith area pm me and i will bring it over and show you if you want
