Straight exhaust?

[Peter89]

I'm a cheap bastard and do want a spend anything on a fancy exhaust :P i thinking of just putting a 2.5" straight cat back on my VN V6. anyone done this before? how would i go above doing it? how loud can i expect it to be? but i don't need you preaching all the road laws, i know them . i know the performance gain would be minimal but my current exhaust sounds like crap, the muffler rattles and its pissing me off.

[H1GHROLLR]

do you mean just a striaght pipe from your cat with no bends . . what about mufflers

[leigh 7005]

ive heard vn with no cat and no rear muffler but still got the one before diff not to loude

[OnLiA6]

wouldnt sound to bad but would be louder... i was told a easy fix is to remove the rear muffler, my mate has a stock VZ with stock exhaust, he removed the rear muffler and i tell u wat sounds better than wat it did before..food for thought

my vn has no muffler and sounds alright but it rattles but that is because it isnt mounted properly. It is loud enough for me i supose. but to each is own.

As in just cutting the muffler itself at the end off completely????

[Peter89]

a straight pipe from after the cat, still want the cat those fines are very pricey. no muffler or resonator and not stupid half hoop bend, direct as possible without having to change much. going under the axle an option?

You can get a lukey 2.5 inch straight though system for like 20 bucks at the wreckers

[padrickz88]

lmao no muffler's would be loud as ****.....

also unless its irs then you need the bend to go over the diff

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Do you think the bends would cause a restriction on a VN V6? You're living in Lala land....

[Peter89]

would be harder to find a pipe with those bends though, i guess.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Go to an exhaust shop....they have them.

[lachie]

green foam are the exhausts for 20 bucks anygood? is it worth gettin one? im on a tight budget and wanna make mine sound good without spendin alot and ur idea sounds good to me haha

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Go to a wrecker and see if you can find one.

is that a full system or just cat back? any more details on it?

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Would be a cat back.

[leigh 7005]

its just for muffler $20

[greenfoam]

Guys lots of VN's have 2.5 inch cat backs. So you can find them laying around in wrecking yards all over the country. They aren't worth much in scarp metal and most yards will let them go very cheaply. Bit of recycling is allways good

[lachie]

awesome i will be down at my wrecker this week lookiing

[stwist]

throw some extractors on there too i got 2.5' all the way threw with 3" tip and it roars.

No resi or muffler = Defect

You might get away with a resi and leave the rear muffler off. The missus bros VS passed a roady with just the resi and no muffler. Its loud as shit though so i dunno how it passed lol

as long as it doesn't exceed 90db it should be fine right?

how loud is a straight exhaust on a v6 VN?

[Reaper]

FFS - a 2 1/2" redback system is less than $200. Have some consideration for your neighbors and do the job right.
