    So here it is i wanna put a new exhaust system on my car but just wanted to get a few ideas of what sort goes well on a VL and some of the prices you guys paid

    thanx guys

    I got quoted for a redback catback 2&1/2 $330 and they were gonna let me hear a few different mufflers to get the right note. For a good set of extractors your gonna be lookin at $350-$450 brand new. I got mine off ebay for $100 they are almost new pacemakers with the special coatings and sh1t. I was rapt

    i had a vl wagon na 6, and i payed $150 it had extractors, then striaght through to a 6" dump pipe tip, the thing flew, and sounded hot too, dont know how legal it was, no cats no mufflers, but never got hassled by cops, even went through rego no dramas.

    6" DUMP PIPE!!! HOLY GEEZ

    I'm forking out 950 for my 3" turbo back system, hiflow and cat and tip.

    I've got extractors if you want them 50 dollars + Post. I really need to get pictures up as everyone keeps asking me.

    As for the rest, the cost of the muffler and the cat plus 100 bucks??

    My exhaust for my VK set me back $1600 all up
    Pacemaker 1 3/4 primary headers into 2 1/4" collectors
    Twin 2 1/4" pipes into 2 high flow cats joining into a 3" system
    1 muffler and a large hotdog and a polished stainless tailpipe.
    All mandrel bent and painted in heat proof paint.
    The pipe work is all flanged so I and pull off sections to either paint or to work on the car.

    Looks tops and sounds great.
