    Default VS 5L exhuast best sound?

    I have been looking for a exhuast, the only problem is they all sound.very similer. I was looking to see if anyone has had a exhuast ( extractors high flow cat and so on ) that just sounded "tuffer" or just different to the rest. Also cost is not a issue
    Thanks and regards damien

    Here is one I did on a VS 5.0L. Extractors, high flow metal cat and a 2 1/2" mandrel bent system with straight through tail pipe, no resonator.

    My system sounds good but is probably a bit loud.

    I have Pacemaker Extractors, twin 2.5, twin magnaflow hiflow cats into single 3 inch to the back with twin 3inch tip. Has one muffler (Lukey (P/N: L2780) and one resonator (Lukey P/N: L9233)

    This video isn't that good but may give an idea of sound.



    If I decide to quite it down (mainly idle and low revs) I'll look into these.

    I'm not sure if I could quantify it, but anything is better than cast manifolds as far as flow is concerned.

    It comes down to where you want your peak torque and how long you want it for.
