    Default not sure what i've done- swap't exhaust but it dont sound like a normal droning v6.

    sorry, another question . i've just put a hsv twin 2.25 ' exhaust on my vt l67 , but since changing it sounds like its off beat , almost like its missing but it has not lost any power, gained it if anything. its twin right thru with 1 h-pipe. not sure if its a normal sound for a v6 with twin right the way thru and with no x-pipe or no 2into1 section. got me stuffed cause never herd anything like it befor, is that just the way a v6 fires separately down each side of exhaust or something? mayb

    Maybe because it's a 2.5". Can't say that i have heard what the 2.25" system sounds like on the L67

    But i know what the 2.5" sounds like with no rear muffler......

    That actually sounds pretty ****ing awesome haha..... Is it the L67 making it sound that bit different? Or what? I've got an SPAC, But it's just a V6, No super charger, Could I get a system sounding like that? Or does the supercharger help with the sound or not? I can't really help with your problem or wondering why it sounds like that, But I like it!

    If It would sound almost the same, What price would i be looking at from an exhaust place? I know a normal catback system costs $250 ish in my area... But I want something a LITTLE different, I want your system! Could they do it? Any other info on your system ??

    I want something a LITTLE different than the standard 2 and a half inch lukey exhausts, they all sound the same, But I like this...

    Reckon My local lukey carline exhaust specialist would be able to put a system like this on? How much did you pay for yours? And what exactly is it mate?

    Holy shit... LOL Nice!!!

    When you say Twin, Would it look nicer if i did it too put 1 twin tip on the left of the car, and somehow make a pipe to go to the other side and have another twin tip a little like the v8's ?

    Or is it much neater literally just having the standard twin tip in 1 spot? LOL sorry for hyjacking the thread dude.... Haha!!

    But you should be happy with that note!

    Nah mate I don't like not worth the $20 in my opinion so with that said that's why you need to sell me your engine would bank deposit be ok or how about a money order?

    I'm just kidding mate sounds good and it sounds normal to me for a straight through system that's what they do make it loud and rumbly.

    think its real hard cause of petrol tank being to one side, not enough room i think. thats why they all are single or twin coming out the one side.

    ^^^ sounds about right and the sway bar is not shaped to allow another exhaust on the other side so it would have to hang under all that stuff which would make it hang too low.

    from inside the car it sounds pretty good imo but from outside i thought it sounded a bit off, mine is opposite to yours i reckon, from the inside it sounds like poo but the outside it sounds good but i guess i also need to hear yours in person to have a good opinion.

    also i got my boost gauge in the same spot

    also just a question, why'd you sell the twin 2.5 system?

    Yeah I wouldn't like something that drones all too much, And nothing too loud, Don't want to sound like one of those ricers.... Saw some little subaru wannabe ford buzzbox a few days ago, rocked up next to me "I'm walking" and when he took off it seriously sounded like the wettest fart ever, Soooo stupid, So I can understand why you sold that... haha

    well it dont quite sound the same anymore, spewing. i put the rear pipes on and its changed the sound a bit, (well the sound i can hear in the car anyway). must have just sounded weird from ecoing under the car or something cause of it being dump't at the diff..

    That sounds phenomenal! My only problem is I am too old and it would give me a headache on a drive to Brisbane.
