Wanting to get that nice deep burble with next exhaust, what set up do i need

[shanhsv]

Hi all, High on my "To Do" list for my car after i get hitched in a few months is put a decent zorst on as the current item just doesnt cut it. Plus i'll be gunning for a 6 speeder mid next year and the extractors on the car wont fit with a 6 speed anyway.
So can any1 help me know the actual set up im after

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The extrators will fit, just the Y pipe will be different.

I would go twin cats off extractors, twin 2 1/2 into a single 3" into a straight through front muffler and rear resonator.

[shanhsv]

I was thinking the same but I had no idea how it'll sound so i had to ask for advice. Hi-flow cats too im guessing?
I hate the extractors on the car so they must go anyway,crappy 4 piece into a crappy single cat Y pipe

[frankiewilliam]

dude. i just replaced mine. all i dont was put a 2nhalf" sports back from the cats. when i starts. sounds ordinary after about 2k revs sounds great cost me $300

I have Lukey extractors, twin 2.5in 200cell cats, merge to single 3inch flowmaster muffler, to straight through resonator on the back. Sounds deep as, but pretty aggressive when u stomp it

[shanhsv]

So twin 2.5in into single 3in it is,does it matter where it merges or do they all merge in the same spot,how much as i looking at paying (not including the extractors

[VS FTW]

so what did your guys setup's cost if you dont mind me asking?

im looking for tha nice deep rumble too (as much as you can get from a 6), dont want it to be extremely loud and drawing attention just that nice tone that makes you go yeeeah haha

[walesy]

if you want a nice deep rumble go with what abba said but instead if having straight through pipe in the middle get a set of hotdogs

[VS FTW]

so twin cats off extractors, twin 2 1/2 into a single 3" into a set of hotdogs front muffler and rear resonator? what am i looking at for that $ wise

[walesy]

depending on where your twin 2.5in merges into single 3in (im guessing at the diff like they usually do, id have the twin hotdogs in the twin 2.5in section

[VS FTW]

what if i just didnt merge, so twin cats and extractors, then twin 2.5's then twin hotdogs?

[walesy]

yeah you can do that if you want

[daz86]

Hotdogs = too much drone IMO

Hotdogs = too much drone IMO

I agree, too much drone with Hotdogs. I have pacies, twin 3" magnaflow cats modded down to 2.5", H section balance pipe, 2.5" twin system all the way through. Luke Turbo mufflers, and hotdogs on the rear. Sounds nice, but drones at around 1500-1800rpm due to the hot dogs. Next time I would go with twin 2.5" rear resonators instead of the hot dogs. Lots of single 3" systems around that sound good too, and cost less.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

No, it doesn't drone because of the hotdogs, it drones because you have 3" cats.

I have done a few twin 2 1/2" systems on VN-VS 5.0L's and always us 2 1/2" cats and no resonator or hotdogs on the rear and never had a problem with drone.

Cheers thanks, it's hard to get straight advice on exhausts sometimes. Seems as though bigger is not always better. Any particular cat setup you would recommend for a 2.5" twin system with a mild cam?

[GRPABT1]

It's a 5L, go a twin into single system and it'll never sound bad. Avoid full twin sytems without a merge at least unless you like the thong slapper sound
