    Default Should i buy this exhaust?

    Hey guys, could someone more experienced in exhausts than me let me know if this is a good purchase?
    I have a 93 VR S (V6) Commodore, with the usual mods, Extractors, K&N Panel, CAI, Stage 3 memcal and a 2.5" twin dump pipe tip, and am just not happy with how its sounding and feeling anymore. Guess age has gotten to it.
    I came accross this on ebay and it seems to be pretty good but don't want to buy anything thats going to screw me over, sound like shit or give me hassles.
    Im trying to keep costs to a minimum but don't want to go with something cheap if its going to sound it.

    Some help would be greatly appreciated

    2.5" CAT BACK SPORTS EXHAUST VN VP VR VS COMMODORE (eBay item 200531959911 end time 15-Mar-11 16:48:49 AEDST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

    Ill be honest mate, i don't know a great deal about the specs of a memcal, but i bought one off ebay that people said would be good and not dodgy, and at a fair price, so i installed it and it works great. Fairly good power increase, throttle response, gears seem to shift smoother ect.
    Your comment about stock exhausts, is that a yay or nay to the one i linked to?

    It probably won't sound any different to what you already have if you have a cat back 2 1/2" on there now.

    that seems to be a decent price new but personally i would look at changing the muffler and cat, keep your pipes if there is nothing wrong with them.

    My pipes are fair rusty and used to sound great, though over time have lost it which is why im looking to replace them and don't really know which direction to head in.

    K guys i've decided on a Lukey 2.5" cat back exhaust with a high flow cat and retaining my 2.5" twin dump pipes. My apologies for opening up a topic that i could have found the answer for myself.
    Thanks all the same.
