[bencbh]

hey, ive been trying to search for the better exhaust but cant find it for the gen 3's. im up for a new exhaust as mine is full of holes now and im just wondering wich is better out the 3 inch or 2 1/2??? my car is jut stock. any opinions or help would be awsome,
thanks

Twin 2 1/2 for a stock motor. Xforce and difilipo make great systems.

id go the 2.5, if u want the best sound go for the kpm system, however you do pay for it, if u just want some noise go the xforce

ahhk thanks guys, im just after something cheap but good as im short on cash, i got quoted $800 for a twin 2 1/2 lukey catback does this sound bout right?

mmm. i got a 2.25 inch twin xforce fitted on my alloytec (same setup as gen 3) with chrome tips for $350 but they are a cheaper exhaust.

Xforce make crap systems.
They sound horrible and flow like a dog turn down the sink.

The "X pipe" in them is a dogs breakfast, I'll show you why on wednesday too.

if you plan on getting the full exhaust and getting a cam and such id go the twin 3 sounds a lot better than a twin 2.5 too

I have to agree sound wise, they are not the greatest. I have an Xforce on mine and ended up getting a new rear muffler made up for it to stop the annoying bark it had.

yeah i found a twin 2 1/2 inch on ebay for 380 so ill give it a go, thanks for the help

Frankly I don't think a twin 3" is warranted until you start fiddling with heads or a really big cam.
As for sound, that more depends on the mufflers then the pipe diameter.

imo the twin 3 is a tiny bit louder and much more deeper and meatier i have a twin 2.5 manta now but had a manta, x force and difilippo twin 3 that i borrowed they have bit more drone but sound much better and performance wise i didnt notice much difference but my extractors and cats are all 3 inch

My system look like it flows pretty well and it sounds sweet-

Okay, I should Have stipulated. The VT-VZ exhausts systems are shite.

Never seen the VE system up close to comment. Sound quality of that camera is a little sad so can't really tell. But I sounds like my VY used too. Which I never liked.

I got 4-1 CAPA extractors, high flow cats and twin 3" Xforce exhaust on my manual VT SS and I love the sound of mine ay, wouldn't ever change it

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

Simple answer, twin 3" if you want it louder and are just after sound, twin 2 1/2" if you want better performance as well as sound. I am of the opinion to steer clear of X force as well, it is restrictive and sounds like crap.
