    Default vx commodore making exhaust louder and engine upgrades

    Hey guys I just recently got installed a lukey 2.5 catback with no rear muffler and it sounds great but was wondering if there is any way to make it louder? Also what are good engine upgrates to give it a bit more power keeping in mind I'm still on my p's for anther 6 months? Cheers

    my guess would be extractors mate, dont quote me on this but the more airflow through the exhaust would make more resination?

    Get someone to make up some 2 1/4" cat back copper pipes. If you aren't happy with the noise they make, you're deaf. I had them on an old ford I owned a few years ago. I could only put up with them for 2 days and then ripped them back off. Oh, might have had something to do with the fact that they had no mufflers at all.

    And while you are at it why dont you get some huge stickers made up that says F*@K THE POLICE and plaster them all over your car too, that way if the cops dont hear your overly oboxiously loud exhaust they'll see the stickers and nab you for sure.

    You young blokes got a lot got learn, you want loud as all hell exhausts etc then get on here and complain that the police keep harassing you every time you go out.

    It's not the loud exhaust... it's the idiots hooning and not payign attention on the road. Can't blame 'loud cars' for hurting the modified car scene lol and yeah i know they do complain abotu getting pulled over for loud cars, once again, that isnt ruining the modified car scene... LOL

    Anyways not gunna ruin your thread with this conversation mate

    Want it louder and sounding better (little power gain) get the extractors. If you really want loud, pm me and ill send you a vid of my v6 and the setup too easy
