i only have an exec so V6 but recently put an exhaust on which i was happy with.

i went redback 2 1/2" with no rear resonator. was reluctant as many people said it would drone but its fine and im more then happy with it. makes houses shake when you plant ya foot down. cost me $320 fitted and the exhaust system that came off was two HUGE mufflers whereas one little one replaced that. dont know what the SS are like underneath exhaust wise but hopefully this helps.

[ryno_vrx]

i agree, id rather have a good sounding quiter one then a bad loud one

then again with a ls1/ls2 you can have it loud and sound good at the same time

i personally went from a 3inch exhaust down to a 2 1/2 just to get a better note but as for the ls1 and such i love the power of a ls-engine but they sound like crap compared to the 5lt

Price mate?

[captaincaveman]

Yeah it will never sound as deep as the 5lt, I had 2.5 gonzo mufflers with remus resignators, its the best sound i can get after 3 different set ups, very happy with it.

[holdencple]

i have a 3.5 inch single system with extactors very nice deep sound when cruising and race car roar when getting up it :-)

[shaggerz]

You should speak to Greg at Sureflo - he guarantees you will get what you ask for.

I just got my exhaust done - 3.5 inch cat back in the "medium loud" version in mild steel.

Before vid:
YouTube - SV8 Exhaust Note

After vid:
YouTube - Sureflo 3.5 inch cat back MEDIUM-LOUD

Please note that although they sound about the same volume, the medium loud system is MUCH louder than stock - the auto gain control on the camera is why they sound similar level.

Also, I would be happy to demo this system for anyone local who is thinking of getting their exhaust done.

EDIT: In fact its holdencple kindly demonstrating his for me that convinced me to get what he has

go to your cupboard, get a milo tin.... Eat all the milo. now cut a hole in the bottom, and flare it out. use a hose clamp to mount to your exhaust.

Wallla, instant loud exhaust and plenty of p plater street cred

Kinda of agree.... I love the 5L V8s.

However ive got my LS1 sounding pretty tough. Its been stroked to 6.3 and is running a very large cam, pacemaker extractors and a full twin 2.5" Stainless steel system with rear hotdogs. Im about to change the standard cats over to 4.5" High Flow, which will hopefully give it a deeper sound. Real power gives the best noise... So if your engine is making 500+ BHP, its always going to sound good. Hard to make a 150bhp V6 sound tough.

i only have an exec so V6.....makes houses shake when you plant ya foot down.
