Vt V6 Acclaim series II - Exhaust/Modifications Need help.

[Eking18]

Hi there guys, Been doing some upgrades to my V6 VT for a while now have done the whole sound system and interior/lighting etc. Now up to doing the performance upgrades, i do not yet have my open license so i am not looking to supercharge or turbo my vehicle. I just need some help and direction towards what sort of exhaust to get between a 2.5'' catback or a 3'' for a good sound and what sort of chip and extras to get.

Thanks eddie.

how much longer till your have your opens?

I'd stick with some straight through 2.5" cat back. have a chat to mace about memcals for your car.

1 year, got my license late as i didnt need it and was lazy. thanks full spectrum, so any brands or makes you suggest like lukey, redback etc.?

[Kieran263]

Personally I like the Lukey catback without the rear resi.

[GEN3RATD]

keep the mods till a minimum until you can get an 8, maybe an exhaust intake and chip. id recommend lukey but ive heard some pretty good redback systems, hop on youtube and have a listen to what everyone has on there

[Eking18]

Yeah ive heard lukeys good, and heard a few of there systems sound good. will it be pointless to install a hi flow cat then? And what sort of chip can i get and what would be smartest ive seen a few 15-25 bhp chips and air intake ones and so on. and the intake...

[GEN3RATD]

hi flow cats are a good idea i reckon, better note and yours it probably as old as the hills anyway. have a look at the mace section, as i understand it their V6 stuff is top notch, they sell memcals and air intakes and stuff.

[Eking18]

ill take a look bud! thanks for your help, will they help with the chip too?

[GEN3RATD]

not sure as i dont have a V6 lol, otherwise there are a few forum members on here that can point you in the right direction

+1 for lukey cat back without rear muffler, dont even bother with highflow cats or anything if you dont wanna spend too much, if your just looking for a decent note the cat will do it easy, save for the super6/blown6/8 or whatever you want.

Mines srt. But I do love lukey.

[Eking18]

Thanks for that, but the hi flow cat will be pretty beneficial if im correct? and does anyone know if those cheap 17 - 25 bhp chips on ebay for vts are any good. thanks

[VX21]

I wouldn't touch any of the eBay ones, go for MACE's ones they have been tried and tested to work! And Steve has heaps of other great performance parts especially for the ecotec!

will make the exhaust note better but you probably wont see right foot gains

Sorry to hi jack the thread a bit, but how much would a system such as this cost all up?

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

I ship the Manta system with no rear resonator for $220 anywhere in Aus. Hi flow cat is $195, it is an EPA approved 200 CPSI metal hi flow. As said above, a hi flow cat on a 6 would only alter the sound, it would make no difference to ouput.

Great price!
