    Shipping isn't that bad.

    But I would not guarantee more power out of an exhaust on a V6. It will change the torque curve but the actual power increase would be no more than around 5kW.

    I wouldn't recommend Pacemaker, don't get me wrong, they are a very good product, but they don't give the improvement expected for the money spent. I can do most other brands for half the price of Pacemakers.

    I can do Wildcat extractors, a hi flow cat and a mandrel bent system with a tip for around $850 shipped. There is some cutting and welding required as the cat is a universal type.

    It is all mild steel, yes, an exhaust shop would be able to fit it. It usually takes about 3 days to get to Queensland.

    i recently got my exhaust done. vtv6 got exactly what you said, pacemakers/hiflowcat/2 1/2inch

    sounded good but seemed to drone a bit going up hills especially sitting on 3000rpm

    but after OTRCAI and KandN filter went in i cant believe how much its helped the sound of the exhaust. so much smoother and cleaner sound

    2 and a half inch cat back would be the pick with one muffler and a hot dog... even genie headers are good and a bit cheaper the pacemakers.. and defintalely get a high flow cat while your at it..

    How much would an exhaust shop charge to fit NAAF's "Wildcat extractors, a hi flow cat and a mandrel bent system with a tip for around $850 shipped" considering they are universal? So there is very little performance increase with a system like this?

    hay just on that note you do not get a lot of preformance out of an exhaust system but if u do some research about the system i was sold and hunt around on this site it is one of the better ones for a standared ecotect
