    Extractors often dont change the note of an exhaust, and if they do, it is a minor change.

    I love the sound of my car, it has a 2.5inch redback cat back with out a ressie. Doesnt sound that great with the ressie so i took it out and just ran a straight pipe. Thats my opinion anyway.
    Australia. Love it or leave it

    the type of sound, or exhaust note is going to depend alot on the type of muffler you use.
    it really depends on what type of sound you want, if you talk to an exhaust shop when doing a cat back system you should be able to explain to them what you want and they will recommend suitable mufflers.
    having no rear muffler - or a straight though system will result in a louder note, with a comprimise on some more drone.
    on a v6 vn i like the sound of the lukey glass pack mufflers, but thats just my opinion, if you hear a note you like on a similar car to yours, ask them (if they know) what muffler they used so you get an idea of what you want.
