    Be careful with the exhaust system you use ,the L67 can sound bloody awful (fart in a tin can)

    I think there are some youtube videos with different exhaust system sounds they migth give you a better idea what to go for

    virtually Identicle as yours cant really see any difference to what you have except mine has this "Xtreme" chrome twin exhaust tip with perferations inside of it and stainless hi flow cats ,which makes it sound worse

    It was on the car when I bought it ,I hated the sound so much I want to change the exhaust after a week of owning it but it was too expensive
    but I have noticed everytime I do a mod to the motor the Exhaust note gets a little better ,but its still sounds shit

    Nice sleeper you got there. You taken it down the strip yet?
    Im still debating with myself over the exhaust but its nz so we can do anything as long as its under 90db which is the gay law they bought in last year or something and its just gotta exit out behind the rear axle. so im open to suggestions.
    Plus i was wondering on the front will the superlows be captive on the front without shortening shocks. I bought the rears shortened already so ill have no worries there

    I also require an upgraded exhaust, becasue mine is IRS i will be going a twin 2.5" exhaust from headers all the way back, dont know if i will have a x-pipe in it or not.

    With yours however it is most likely live axle so your best bet would be twin 2.5" that merges into a 3" just before the diff, this is also the cheapest option because many companies already have pre-made sytems for VR/VS V8's in this format that will bolt straight on.

    I have taken mine to the track, it ran a 14.2, all the stats and runs are in my thread, heres a video, once your in youtube just click my name, all my videos are of my car.
