Yes there is 2 different sorts. One for IRS one for live axle. Does it have an aftermarket exhaust system on now? If you go to any decent exhaust shop they should be able to pick out a system that you will like.

Nah the exhaust ive got at the moment is stock. the mufflers are shot tho, although it sounds pretty beefy for a V6, it gets somewhat annoying.
what kinda prices am i looking at to get a new system fitted?
is it hard to fit it yourself?

u can buy a 2 1/2 inch exhaust on ebay for under 200 new buy 1 thats fits your car make sure its a irs if your car is irs or if your cars not get the the live alxe 1 easy to do jack up car put alxe stands under it (be safe) unbolt bolt the old1 and bolt on the new 1

i got a vr v6, and once i put a straight pip in from cat and back on and it sounded like shit so i put the stock one back on, what exhaust system can i get that will sound nice?? like my mate has a stock ford 97 year model 6cylinder ,4 liter with exhaust system and it sounds nice ,sounds like a 5L.. Why do holdens v6 v4 sound like lawnmower lol.. what system can i get for it to sound good?

no ur mates ford dosnt sound like a 5L buddy dont ever use that kind of language on this site and u need to buy a set of extractors before u start geting any kind of decent note out of a 3.8L the orig headers are like 1 1/2" inches each they are piss poor for a note but better on fuel economy etc... so moral of story is ford will never sound like a real holden 5L and u need extractors
