If you are not interested in power and only noise then just remove the rear resonator and fit straight pipe, will save you a lot of money.

You wont get it to sound right without spending money.
Starard manifolds are crap and the pipes are about 2 1/4" at best.

Taking a reso out will just make it sound like a droney fart.

This is my exhaust system on my VY.
YouTube - SS pacemaker exhaust, Pacemaker Tri-y extractors.

Will cost you the better part of $2500.

I tried to doing it cheap too,

There's a sound file there somewhere of the cheap Xforce exhaust I had. Which isn't worth the time or money IMO.

ok was talking to a mate that works at place that manufactures exhausts he said he can get me a 2.5 inch catback exhaust for $250 and if i want high flow cats they will be $100 each so looking at $450 all up will the cats make much difference in sound compared to stock ones or would it be more performance that would help

[Vt_vic]

for 450 id take it definitely sound better performance would be slightly better but those cast iron manifolds are crap

single 2.5" will be way to small for the LS1...

if you have the money:

When it comes to Exhausts I reckon it's worth it spending that extra $$$. I have Pacemaker Tri-Y extractors, into a twin 2.5 stainless steel xForce with 2 sure flow Ballistic 100cpsi cats and I'm telling you now when I put my foot down it's ear piercing lol but when I'm cruising you can't even hear ot which I wanted and it doesn't drone one bit! I even have both sets of mufflers on too and it's still so loud when I punch it. All together I spent about $2000 but it's worth every penny

Hi soop, I'm in the process of getting a vy ute, but only an S pack. Would it be worth slapping your system on a 6 ?

Same here and the D/F pipes sound great, do not drone and enable ALL ponies to be released by the engine.

cheers

+1 for full difilppo twin 3inch, costs a bit more but you wont be disappointed.

Twin 3" is a bit big for a standard LS1.

I agree you will probably lose a bit of power on a stock ls1 with a twin 3".

Twin 3" is a bit big for a standard LS1.

Pfffft, nothings to big to handle for the LS1.. i actualy noticed a slight increase on throttle responce. i'v had it on the dyno: OTR, Cam, Maffles custom tune and DF exhuast= 372WHP

plus i got the twin 3inch with the intention of putting a blower on her down the track, which will be start of next year now!!!!

[soop]

if youre going for big power fine. but 3" on a standard car is a bit big.

if i just bought my ute/car. i'd chuck a twin 3inch, cam her, tune her to suit the mods. you would be quite surprised with power ouitput. think my last dyno run speaks for herself.
but in saying that, a complete standard LS1 would be to much for one. once you put the twin 3inch, the power bug kicks on HAHA
