Sounds nice at lower RPM!
awesome, thats exactly what im looking for, want the sound, but when our friends in blue pull me up for 'RBT reasons only' i can say she's a stocker mateI got pacies up front (extractors) and the full xforce 2.25 system with the varex rear mufflers and the sound is awesome. only issue is fully opened there is a drone between 2400 rpm and 2600rpm. When the thing is closed you cant here a damn thing from anywhere its awesome and the misses stays happy
any chance of getting a vid of it mate, and is it the non-sidi?

Hi guys i am in need of some sv6 Rear Mufflers i have put the ss full system on aswell as the quad Rear Mufflers and it is a bit loud and all so Droney.
Cheers
well today, i took just the rear boxes off my ute and ran around town and i must say, sounds nice, absolutely nothing on back off or overlap, but a little bit of drone at low revs, but sounds peach at the top end, sadly had to put them back on seeing how i am nerveous of the police pulling me up with out them and according to my mate (standing on the side of the road out of town... of course) he said his ears ringed at full noise in 3rd and changing up to 4th
there was a small change in the power, but it was obviously noticeable, so maybe just a straight pipe with a tip from the 90degree bend and extractors?
Hi guys, i just got a question wanna ask hope you can give me some advise here.
I drive a 2008 VE SV6 (SEDAN) Auto, everything is stock except recently i put on a 2.25" x-force cat-back exhaust. I'm not happy with the sound after installation because im after some loud exhaust note and loud growl sound. What your guys suggest me to do now after installed cat-back exhaust in order for me to get the sound i want.
Many thanks
Some extractors and high flow cats would help you get a deeper note . But if your just after a loud exhaust change your rear mufflers to a more free flowing type.
If u make an SV6 loud, it'll sound like ass, trust me. They're known for it. You'll never get it to sound like a 350Z or similar V6. Too loud and they just sound like something ain't right.
i thought the 2.25" sounded good when i had it on my 2008 VE SV6, although mine was a manual ute.
check out this thread, might give u some ideas. i haven't read through it all so i don't know if any of it is relative to u Just got 2.5 xforce full system~ not happy
Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.

hey mate i am in the exact same positon as you only i have a ute.
i posted a thread a couple of weeks ago about the same thingm, some good points where made check it out.
Very dissapointed.... :(
let me know of any changes you make to it.
without adding things like headers and cats, you basically need to delete things, ie, cut out mufflers. Pull the rear mufflers off (easiest - just 4 bolts) and drive around for a while. If you like that, just fit some straight pipes and tip it. If that's then too loud or drones a lot (probably will - but you might like it), then put them back on and get the centre mufflers cut out and replaced with straight pipe (will probably also drone though).
Save your money. You will never get a decent sound out of the Alloytec due to the cylinder firing sequence. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
I reckon my SIDI sounds OK....YouTube - jarpodski's Channel
sounds not bad for a 6 man
hey guys im after an exhaust for my ute but really dont know if i want to go all out or just cat back. im only on p plates so i dont think i will be able to keep my car inmsured if its an illegal mod. if anybody knows of any good systems that i can get my hands on around melbourne or any way i can go about beating the insurance companys id appreciate it. cheers
Cat backs are fine. But there's not a lot of options for the V6s. Xforce do a couple. CHE in Sydney do a fair bit of work with the 6s but I haven't seen much else around aside from rear muffler swaps.
your best bet is to take it to an exhaust specialist that has worked on plenty of VE 6's. Tell them exactly what you want out of the exhaust....power, noise, or a mixture of both, and see what they can suggest, possibly even making a custom one to suit your needs or standards (will obviously be more expensive)
X-Force are a pretty popular brand for exhausts on VE's, but i have heard that they cause a lot of cabin drone, whilst others have been happy with the result
good luck!
Xforce 2.25" Catback. That's what i had on my 2008 SV6 Ute, it was really good.

i had a look at the options on the x force website. and just was looking at another post of somebody really not happy with the drone in theres. another person said his VCM was pretty much amazing do u know much about them?? i just wana get it right the first time. how much was the x force if u dont mind me asking?
VCM design their systems for V8 motors. They'd fit but I'd fire them off an email to see what they reckon. They're a great bunch of guys to deal wth.
