vx exhaust

YouTube - VX V6 exhaust in HD

lookin for a decent exhaust system for mi car.

want it to sound pretty beasty.

atm i currently have a 2.5 inch cat back with a front muffler.
tbh just sound like a shitty muffler on the back.

on a bit of a budget but am able to spend.

any reccomendations?
cheers

my VT S-Pack V6 -

what you think of that? the little rev i did was only gently touching the throttle (1200rpm)

[Parkey]

sounds alright mate, but mine already sounds similar with the cat back only,
want a more beasty sound,
++ didnt really hear much of yours as the rev was only small

[JSTCOZ]

yeah mines got a fair bit more done, video does it no justice at all cos me camcorder doesnt pick up sound well.

Also i have had just a catback, then extractors, then what ive done now. It sounds alot lumpier and about 3-4 times louder idling now than it did with just a catback. Like i said the video doesn't do justice, only reason i didnt rev is because it would have been too loud. Might go outside and try to get a vid for ya, neighbours will just have tp put up with it. lol

EDIT: 'beasty' you mean lumpier and louder? cos you can't get much louder than mine and a cam will make it lumpier, besides that..you're driving a 6, not an 8.

Move the camera back away from the exhaust it'll still get the volume but you can rev it and not blow the mic out.

read that just after i went and filmed it...dang. I'm uploading to youtube now so it'll be 15mins or so til i upload it, also a mate came up to me when i was filkming so might be some american guy talking lol

[soop]

Yeah, I just thought I'd say because every wanker on youtube tries to cram the camera down the exhaust pipe as if it makes it sound better. Shits me .
I took a vid of my car and reved it to 6500rpm and didn't blow the mic out, yet most people can't manage idle.

[JSTCOZ]

well you can be the judge of it, still uploading now... might doa drive by thing, but ill need to geta mate, sound sso beefy driving around under 3000 revs haha

EDIT: video will be 45mins to upload... -_-

I've got pace maker extractor with 2 and half inch mandral bent and a hotdog in the rear. Only had the car 2 weeks and got shit loads of looks and good comments its not too loud but when you get up it it has a nice note.

[JSTCOZ]

Video of my car revving now sorry for the long idle, mate come from across the road to say hi, 1:20 or so it when i rev i think.
still not as loud as real life sadly, the car can rev to 109dB if you wanna compare.

[soop]

Ah, that went alright. Cam must have a decent mic.

[JSTCOZ]

what ya think for a V6 soop? lol i get looks when i drive round in it haha. should i try adn get a drive-by one up?

[soop]

Sounds like a chainsaw .
But as far as V6's go, that sounds pretty good. Most of the time they sound like a spastics tantrum. Extractors make a big difference. If you're a keen bean, have think about a bigger cam.

chainsaw in my head meaning 'loud, scary and probably a beef cutting chainsaw...so beefy.' HAHA yeah i got no more money to spend. But yeah I haven't heard a 6 as loud or nice in my opinion, but everyone wants to write their own reviews LOL

[soop]

So long as it doesn't sound like a fart in a jar with load on the motor.

[JSTCOZ]

just remember you filmed yours in a shed too, gives it amazing acoustic, but you can't drive around your suburb with ya shed :P lol

[Parkey]

nice,
what ya got in that mate
and how much did it cost?

[JSTCOZ]

2.5inch system, hurricane extractors, middle muffler replaced with a long hotdog, dump pipe just after the back wheel.

I had just a middle muffler on the 2,5inch catback with extractors but it wasnt grunty and loud enough for me, took to exhaust place, they said a smaller muffler will make it sound like crap and that a long hotdog would be the way to go to achieve what i wanted. The early dump pipe gives it a deeper note cos it has less pipe to carry through too, also makes sound reverbarate off the ground when i drive

[Parkey]

yea but how much did all that cost though?

[JSTCOZ]
