    Default Cat back exhaust

    Hey guys I just got a new standed exuast on my vr commodore cause I needed it for rego and after I did and got my car on the road I realized I won't a cat back 2.5" inch exuast I was hopping you'd could help me. Would the cat back exuast improve my power or will it just make and better sound and is it worth the money after I just got the standed exuast for 300 dollars.

    Cheer Andrew.

    There is certainly no increase in power for me. With regards to sound, all I got was a drone under load. I have recently put a stock system back on mine after the sports system wore out, and the car seems to run better. Each to their own, but I would save your cash for something else.

    I remember i just got a 2 1/2 inch pipe put on right at the back from like the diff on my vr v6. It sounded better than stock, and at high rev's it kind of had a whistle to it. I thought it was cool at the time. It cost me 50 bucks at an exhaust place. V6 exhausts are pretty hard to get right and 90% sound like a wet fart. I've not heard many v6's i liked. But it didn't stop me playing with the exhaust when i was driving one. The power increase is probably not something you'll be able to notice. Its more about the sound.

    Why did u pay 300 to get your exhaust back to stock?

    It allways had a stock exuasht on it but it had cracks all through it and was pretty much stuffed and when they put the new stock one on I felt abut of a difference and I also found out it has a LSD in it witch I never new as I just brought the car haha quite a good surprise. As i was saying I might put one on at the end of my project.
