    Question Catback exhausts in Melb Metro

    Hi guys.

    Just want a few recommendations from anyone who has ever had a 2.5" catback exhaust fitted somewhere in the melbourne metro area.

    Looking to finally get one for my VXS2 V6 ecotec.

    Basically just want to know where to go, what product to ask for and how much I will have to spend. $$$ doesnt matter so much as I believe you get what you pay for!!! Looking for a nice note (and yes I know its only a v6 ). At a stretch I may even consider headers as well.

    Also preferable to anyone who is open saturdays as I work 50hrs+ each week in Altona which makes anything hard mon-fri. Any help appreciated.

    i have always been a fan of fast fit

    usually if you go down there and tell them what you are after they can help you out
    and they are open on Saturdays

    Hallam Performance and Exhausts. Ask for Barney. Top blokes there, no bull**** or fart assing around. Prices are pretty good too. I go only there when it comes to exhaust stuff. They always have mint cars in there too being dyno tuned and what not, so you can have a perve on the cars while you are waiting.

    performance exhaust in ringwood is suposedly the best in the eastern suburbs, i got my system done there. they know what they are talking about & were helpful when i asked them a million questions...

    i got a catback system, redback muffler & reso, stainless steel 2.5" dual tips & also got pacemaker extractors. all up was around the 1K mark inc. installation, hope that helps mate

    Cheers,

    the place i go to is autoxcess in nunawading. theyve done my exhausts, and also my cooler piping for cheap as a weekend job. they will do saturday work from what i can remember. The guy there is an exhaust supplier, so I think he is a bit cheaper because of that.

    45 Terracotta Drive, Nunawading 3131.
    9898 5000

    i got a similar system to the one mentioned in the post above for about $600 installed

    Ive used Hillside exhaust in ferntree gully. They specialize in exhausts and know their stuff. They may not be the cheapest, but the level of service is very good.

    For example, when i had my clutch done there they called me and said "your rear main seal is on its way out. Will cost $20 to replace now while the box is out, otherwise labor will get you next time". they wouldn't have made any money on that, just did it to save me cash in the long run.

    I think they are around the corner from where I work too so that might come in handy.

    BTW Thanks for all the input guys.

    I'll start doing some ringing around for prices soon. Can't wait to get an exhaust on this thing.
