    Default VS Exhaust System

    What exhaust system do you guys recommend? I wanna get a very deep throaty V8 sound from my V6 and i wanna replace the whole system extractors to tip. What do you think?

    Cheers
    Chris

    Hope you brought your flame shield with you buddy.

    Also, if you want the sound of a V8, you should most probably buy one.

    (Just get a Redback or Lukey..)

    Will never sound even close to a v8, but you can get it sounding nice.

    How deep is your pocket though?

    pacemakers, single 2.5 inch metal cat, single 2.5 inch catback, hotdog muffler in the middle, 5 inch straight through ressy on the tailpipe. That'll get it sounding good and avoid the drone. That's my opinion anyway
    Hit me up with some reputation points if i've helped you out! (Star in the bottom left!) Cheers!

    You will gain a few kW's but the biggest difference is the increase in acceleration. Better off the mark and better top end. Cruising on the highway you will use less fuel too.

    I'm not a big fan of V6's with big systems as they always sound like a B&S ute. As for power, you'll need to tune it to see any power gain.
    My advice is to save your cash for that big V8?
