VT V6 exhaust

[makdaddz]

i want to get an exhaust with a nice note that sounds as tough as i can get it
peoples thoughts and recommendations?

[JSTCOZ]

for a 'nice note' that has some level of toughness. Extractors ($500), hi flow cat ($300), 2.5 inch catback with centre muffler only ($250)

Everyone has different opinions on what a 'nice note' and what 'tough' is mate. Maybe search youtube or share a youutbe link that you like the sound of, then find otu what they are using?

Personally I like the lukey catback, minus the rear muffler. I wouldn't call it tough but it's the best sounding catback off the shelf IMO.

i also was looking for one for my VS but i know almost nothing about exhaust's if i was to buy Extractors ($500), hi flow cat ($300), 2.5 inch catback with centre muffler only ($250) would i have to weld them together or would they just screw together ??

V8?

jokes aside, as above.

[wrx884]

u dont need high flow cats the stock 1ns r fine unless ur goin 2 put some serioe work into the motor its not worth it, specially ona V6

[GEN3RATD]

hi flow cat will change the note though

really? cant say ive heard much difference

[Jonesy484]

i was thinking of getting a new cat back system, is it worth going a twin, or just stick with my single?

[GEN3RATD]

ive heard it does lol, my exhaust is stock

[wrx884]

ive heard it does lol, my exhaust is stock

but u gain nothing out of it so kinda a waste of money i think

[GEN3RATD]

yeah well i think V6s are a waste of money but people still have them.

[Jonesy484]

because the the victorian and nsw govt believe that p platers should not drive v8's stupid in my opinon, a p plater can still wrap themselves around a pole at 170km/h in a v6 or a v8 the v8 just allows you to do it slightly quicker

[GEN3RATD]

yeah its pretty dumb, i thought NSW had the power to weight ratio law, thats a better idea.

thats what i have, it sounds very tough and gives great response.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

I can do extractors for $385, Wildcats, no welding required to fit. Leave the original cat, and a Manta 2 1/2" cat back, with front muffler and tail pipe for $220. $40 shipping to anywhere in Aus. If you really wanted a hi flow cat to make it a bit louder (yes, they do make a difference to the note) then I can do one for $195 that is EPA approved. But the cat will have to be welded in.

just keep the single system and do what was recomended to the OP

How much diffence? does it drone more?

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

No, just makes it louder and deeper and more "raspy".

As an example, supplied extractors and a 2 1/2" single with no rear resi to a local guy with a twin cat VY. A bit later he bought two high flow cats, made it bark so much he had to fit a rear resonator to quieten it down a bit.

the extractors you do dont need any welding to the standard cat ?????

[acarmody]

Because the cats are fitted to a pipe that is already flanged at either end. So extractors will bolt up to one end, and exhaust to the other.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

No, the Wildcats have a slip join, you cut the front off the engine pipe and it slips straight into the extractors and is held by a clamp.

My exhaust guy told me save your money on cats. the factory unit was pretty good.

"NAAF"

Can you have a new Y piece and cat ?. i think the Y is the weak link in that system.

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

The factory Y piece still flows pretty good, it is stainless steel and 2" diameter. 2" pipe on each bank, 3 cylinders that are only 1.9L combined running through 2" is perfectly fine.

If anything, the only thing that would need doing would be to go a 2 1/2" cat to mach the system, and go 2 1/2" straight off the merge of the Y getting rid of the 2" collector.
