Exhaust system for VY V8

[Michael_123]

Hi all,

Just my second post here so please be nice lol.

I have brought a 2004 HOLDEN BERLINA VY II V8 it still has the factory exhaust on it. So what i would like to know is what things can i get done to it so it sounds like a V8? I don't want anything that's going to attract attention from the boys in blue.....

Any advice greatly appreciated

PS: Great forum

Cat back will give you a decent note but if you have the coin you can go the whole hog and do headers as well, gives them a nice throaty sound.

Thanks mate what kind of coin would i be looking at to get it done?

lol, you can spend upwards of $4000 if you want
I'm running hm shorties for the headers and a nice catback system, still running the factory cats. Mine would set you back between $1000 - $1500

[Michael_123]

Thanks so i should have about a $1000 budget? for something basic?

Sorry about the Q's bit of a noob

Nah you're right mate, $1k will get you a catback system no probs. You can always add headers and hi flo cats later on to the system you buy, you don't need to do it all at once.

does doing the cat back give a better (more V8 like) note..... with the standard headers?

It will improve the note for sure. It gave mine a better note and was better again after i changed the headers

[Michael_123]
