ok dont get me wrong here but i know these big chrome sports mufferlers belong on the bloody rice burners and these imports roaches ok i have now seen 8 vn commodores getting around with them on and to tell you the truth it has a really nice note to it was just wondering if this can be achieved as a buy it at the store and do it a back yard job?? i do know how to weld and stuff even built the exhaust for me (dare i say it ) datto 200B so anyone give me an idea if it can or cannot please??????
Actually, chrome tips rust and tarnish over time. You are better buying a cut piece of stainless steel pipe and getting it polished - keeps shining longer.
If you have a V8 then getting a great note is easy. Usually the better system you put on for performance gives you an equally good sound as well. It is possible to go too big however and lose that crisp clean note.
If you are handy, go for it. Go buy some 3" mandrel bends to hook on to the back of a twin 2.5" twin system (including dual cats.) Hang that of the back of a pair of Pacemaker Extractors. Nice sound, great performance!![]()
Twin 2.5's .. 3 cylinders each? Wouldn't that be a bit nasty?
I did say for a V8. Drop that down half an inch per side for a 6.Originally Posted by Slooth
petesvns: What are you running?
yeah i acually took off the twin system cause of the boys in blue said it was to loud so i went to single 2inch but im not talkin about tips im talkin about sports mufflers the ones ya see on skylines little hondas and shit like that there about 1 foot long big main chamber and about a 3inch tip and its for a V6
Be easier to buy on of these than make one. Try exhaust shops around that deal with ricers and ask for HKS, Trust, Nismo, etc...Originally Posted by petesvns
There are exhaust shops that will make there own, look at the real good custom guys for these.
Or you could just weld up some stainless steel sheet metal and stuff it with steel wool...lol
Why note just get a big red flashing strobe light. Easier and will attract more attention. Just like a loud exhaust it will ensure everyone is looking squarly at you if you have an accident while going too fast.
Instead of saying, "yeah officer we heard him coming a mile away", they can just say "yeah officer we saw him coming a mile away".
Bad Benny
yeah funnylol jk one of the exhaust shops on the north side of brissy said it will add up to 70 more hp at the rears with a full system and the rice burner sports muffler also is there anyone i can chat to about joining a brisbane commodore club?????
IF YOU WANT A CANON BY A EXCEL.
Please dont put the v6 2 shame they sound shocking with a 6" canon and there for jap cars. Get a nice 2 1/2 system, with a stainless GEN III tip
A canon is not for a commodore. I think they look crap and sound even worse!
