    Default VT Calais 5L V8 Exhaust (What should I get)

    Hey guys,

    What do you think is the best option for me in getting an exhaust for my VT Calais 5L...

    Is there any point doing the full exhaust or should i just get a catback, I was thinking twin 2.5".

    I'm planning to hopefully get a lumpy cam put in and maybe get a better air intake if needed.


    Thanks, Matthew

    mate your lucky the 5l is one of the easiest motors to get that old scholl v8 growl out of, just slap on a good 2 1/2 twin cat back system and bobs your uncle, however add extractors cats and a lumpy cam and you will be very pleased with the note it will produce

    ordered a twin 2.5" catback with centre mufflers and a small rear resonator, thanks to Not_An_Abba_Fan for supplying as usual.

    Hopefully I can find someone with car stands/something so i can fit it myself, don't want to pay a mechanic $100 again :S
