hwre is the planned exhaust sytem form my 2002 VX...... I am trying to achieve the loudest / deepest sound so money is no factor. Please feel free to give me any suggestion on how to achieve this...
Current Planned Exhaust System:
Twin X Force Cat-back system
Pacemaker Long 4 into 1 extractors / headers size: 1 ¾ with HPC ceramic coating
Twin Balistic Cats 100 cpsi 5" body, 3" pipe size
Removed centre and rear resonator and replaced with straight through pipes
holy shit hey..
full pacemaker system, #### the xforce shit off.
Take it easy...But do take it...
Do not argue with an IDIOT.
He will just drag you down to his level an beat you with experience.
Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.
Take a tip from big-ass loudspeakers like used in cinemas. Put a (removable) exponential horn on the end of the pipe. The larger the horn the lower the frequency it will propagate. Horn circumference = sound wavelength or something like that.
"exponential horn" - Google Search
mate i got a similar system. I assume V6? don't straight through pipe the centre, get a middle hotdog in there. Also if you dump it at the rear wheel (past where yoru cabin finishes) and face it down it will give it a deeper note due to less pipe travel and also reverbarates off the ground for volume.
Sounds deep when driving low range, the higher in revs and louder you get, the more raspry sounding it will go. Can't help that on a six.
however if you have an 8, ignore what i've said as they dont really gain too much raspe.
If you wanna video of it idle than pm me mate
(also like to agree that xforce is ass, just any 2.5 inch or 3 inch piping will do mate
Its a V6.
First of all yor telling me not to remove the centre resonator. But why, I thought removing the resonators gives an increase in sound ????
And what will a middle hotdog do anyway?????
aren't 4 into 1 extractors for V8s?
and when you say money is no factor does that include engine transplant?
no just i am willing to spend the best money for loud/deep exhaust
Where are you going to get one and a half 4-1 extractors from.

if you have money get a 5 litre if you want sound
That system will be very loud, and sound very bad.
Your car will be very slow.
- Pacemaker Extractors
- Hi Flow cat
- 2.5" Lukey with rear hotdog res.
This gives u the garble, the loud growl and noise + performance and fuel economy for around a grand
Are mufflers actually called resonators or is a resonator a sepreate thing????????
What a retarded thread.
Just take the exhaust from the extractors back off. Also, 4-1 headers on a V6?
4 into 1 meaning tuned length, or should I get Tri-Y
help the ####er out instead of trying to sound smart about your ####ing car knowledge,. sound like a bunch of pommy stuck up shmucks answers to this post posts.
I got pacemaker TRI-Ys. Hotdog muffler. 3 inch stainless steel highflow cats. And custom made piping 3 inch. Sounds good.
I've got a very basic exhaust system on my VS but it sounds awesome! I dunno what the regs are like in Oz, but I've cut the cat out completely, straight system from the down pipe through to a back boxGot a great tone to it and everything

Mufflers and hotdogs are types of resonators, u never get straight answers out of people on these forums, took me so long to figure it out
for the v6 isnt there only 1 type of extractor
Basically, yes, but there are two types of that one type.....
All V6's have 3-1's, but some are tuned, some aren't.
To answer the original question, to get the loudest and deepest exhaust sound you will need the largest possible exhaust size. Extractors, 3" high flow cat and 3" system. Remove the front muffler only and keep the rear resonator.
This will be loud and deep but will have the performance of a Barina.
Extractors, standard cat and a 2 1/2" system with front hotdog and rear resonator will be loud and deep with very little drone.
get a srt. Single centre muffler no rear. 2.5" into 3"rear after centre muffler.

it is for a V6 VX SII Executive commodore and so far the only results i have found are from mates who have said to get a lukey or redback system with 2.5" high flow cat & pacemaker extractors
can anyone help me out on how to make it as loud as legally possible and which brand lukey or redback ?? also any1 know a good place to take it in SA im thinking profix, im looking to spend $1500 max
