    Default what exhaust should i get?

    hey guys i am wandering what exhaust (cat-back only) to get for my VS. i want a deep note and dont know what brand or size to get except i want a twin round tip like the VS HSV's had.

    was thinking a lukey exhaust but what size? 2.5 or 2 3/4 inch?

    i am going to be doing the VS S/C CAI with high flow lukey filter and a chip soon (is it greenfoam who does them?)

    any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

    thanks guys

    Don't hollow out the cat or you'd be undoing the efforts of everybody trying to preserve the environment in recent times.

    For a catback I'm running the redback 2.5" straight through (no resonator), it sounded pretty deep without a tip on it (was going for sleeper look) but it's deeper with the tip (oval style) - good quality thick steel and mandrel bends

    I wanted twin tips but then I saw the attached and had to have it - too bad my towbar's in the way and I'm not putting it on now (towing takes priority), would have sounded and looked heaps different. Came with the exhaust (2.5" so would go straight on)

    I'm in Victoria, and with the setup I've cut one of the tips off to put on my car but it'd be extremely easy to put a new one on - though I may just hold on to it - never know when the need for a spare bumper will come up, and could one day take that towbar off

    er if your car is a v6 then unless you have a fist sized hole in your muffler and no resi your exhaust aint gonna cause you headaches. I have no idea what DB mine is but its high and when im driving in say 3-4th gear on highway driving the exhaust can barely be heard at all.
