    Default How to make a vs loud and sound sick with least$$!

    Hey, i got a 96 VS acclaim.

    i recently mounted a kerb and stuffed my exhaust so im gona get a new one.

    whats a good system thats not to expensive but sounds mint and loud.
    my fm8s got a 2.5 redback on his vt and it sounds okay but not loud enough!!!!

    a red back exhaust would be the best for noise and still being legal, and if u want some real grunt get a camshaft installed but then again thats about 500ish bucks
    the cheap ways to make ur car loud loud u dont want to do which is drill holes in ur muffler lol

    but then again..... should i mention it lol, you could get a cannon but u would look like the biggest ******** in town lol

    Straight outta the headers is the best way, exhausts are overrated

    Canons look and sound shit. You can look at a redback or a lukey. 2.5" is the way to go. Either way exhuast systems can really cost. Just depends on how much you are you wanting to spend?

    you best off getting a full exaust system block to tail, and tell em to take off the 2nd muffler(the one after the cat) if they say no thats illeagal say the cars for hill climb its off the road after i get this done. this should cost about 900-1200

    what?! are you for real man...
    it's going to sound like shit if you just put a straight 2 1/2" pipe through with no mufflers. are you going to use a cat at all or is the ride too fully sick for that as well?
    mufflers give an exhaust their tone and volume (not to mention make a vehilce roadworthy and legal), so without one installed it's just going to sound like someone farting into a megaphone.

    HAHAHAHAHHA Gold! If this guy didn't come on here asking this question, no doubt he would of went and whacked a canon on it, to make it look even more "Fully Sick".

    In all seriousness don't be a tool and keep your muffler, better keep your cat as well. You might want to look at getting a different catback. Have a look at the lukey website. See how the different ones they have, also check out the redback website. Do your research before making your final choice.

    My exhaust system is a set of extractors through to twin cats then merging into the one pipe with one muffler at the rear. The piping is roughly 2" most the way through with a few smaller sections ending in twin inch and a half dumpers. It sounds lazy when just cruising (Ie under 1500-2000rpm) If you get up it it sounds quite nice for a v6 apparently not sure haven't heard it myself from the outside. From in the cabin it sounds good with a CAI system but with a pod you can't hear the exhaust over the intake. But the engine is pretty far from stock so its probably not a fair comparison. Not sure if its legal pretty sure it is but mates reckon they can hear me for about 5 minutes or so late at night.

    A mate has a Vs v6 ute and he's smashed the cat out and it does make it a fair bit louder and sounds pretty tough. But of course it's illegal if your unlucky enough to get caught.

    i heard somewhere that they start to sound a bit better after they wear in a bit????
