Exhaust System Help

[rupinder]

Hi guys,

i am getting an exhaust system and extractors put on a vt belina series 2.

i was wondering what questions i should ask and what brands were good.
the exhaust system is going to be twin exhaust so i got to get it cut from the right side at the back.

is there anything i should watch out for. i trust the mechanic but just to be sure.
and what questions should i ask, such as warranty, if its legal, maintaince, etc.

your help would be much appreciated. i couldn't find any threads that contained this info.
thankz

With regards to brands of exhaust system, I had a Manta twin system put on my car and am very happy with results.

thankz.

does anyone know of some good extractor brands.

hehe would be really good if we knew wether its a v6, v6supercharged, or gen3

[rupinder]

my bad.

its a ecotech v6 berlina series 2. no mods.

OK.
prob a single 2.25" system, with say pacemaker headers, and muffler choice would be specific on how noisey u want it. for mild noise use a reversue flow intermediate muffler with a straight through rear resinator. With more noise go for a straight though intermediate muffler keeping the rear resinator.

if you oversize the exjhaust too much you could actually hurt the power curve as the exhaust velocity will be too slow. for a stock v6 2.25" is good, for a worked v6 or a mild v8 a single 2.5". If you want a big exhaust look, just oversize the tip.

yeah, go the pacemakers. lukey would have to be my choice for the pipe though. if your gonna go for a bigger muffler, main thing to look out for is whether it will bottom out or not. have seen it in quite a few cars, where the muffler hits the ground and the bumpers dont. shouldnt be a biggey though!

yeh true.... i have extractors and twin exaust setup on my vt and if have just 2 passengers forget goin into steep drive ways or speed bumps.....

[chevy_big_block_bro]

im going for a set of pacemakers on my VT 6.
Also taking the 2.5" redback off and putting a 2.5" lukey sports exhaust with only front muffler (no rear resinator) i had this setup on my old VN and sounded a treat

[rupinder]

thankz guys. been asking around as well, and decided not to get the twin exhaust. the reason is that i might lose power due to end pressure or something, as my car is a stock. getting it for $300 including a chrome vt calais or ss tip (the oval shape) pipe is 2.5inch the price seems a bit high get it down to 250 though. i think it aint a great price, but an ok deal.

[chevy_big_block_bro]

$300 is a steal, it cost me over $900 for a set of pacemakers and 2.5" exhaust.
what exactly are you getting for $300

[mistaken]

Yeah I'm wondering what the $300 deal is for too

I got quoted $1300 for full custom 2.5" exhaust system (extractors to catback) from D&T Performance. I have a VT Eco6 stock. Only place I asked for a quote so nothing really to compare it too... I just wanted a ballpark.

[sirus]

yeh wats the go with 300 i paid over $2000 for my extractors, twin exaust set up????

[Haze SS]

Is this a second hand price?

[cuckoo]

$300 is a steal, it cost me over $900 for a set of pacemakers and 2.5" exhaust.
what exactly are you getting for $300

for that price can only be a cat back exhaust

[5N!P3R]

I think he forgot to add the cost of the extractors

[rupinder]

sorry guys for taking so long but been busy.
that price was only for the exhaust cat-back, tip and resonator.

with the twin exhaust only one side would work as not enough back pressure. plus extractors and tip, pay cash and pay only $800 that is the price i got from a best mate so honestly if someone in melbourne wants it done then just under or 900 bucks done professionally.
