I need a reason

[BlackVY]

Hey...

Can someone justify to me why I should get a 2.5inch catback exhaust for my 02 S1 V6 Auto VY Commodore?

1) Will it make the car go harder?
2) Will it sound better?
3) Will it increase or decrease efficiency?
4) Is it worth $360?

I'm stuck...

[HoZy]

Go a little harder, Increase efficiency, sound better if you get a decent muffler setup, worth $360 dunno on price for a VY but that doesn't sound too bad.

[HoldrodeoLT]

1) Will it make the car go harder? Slightly
2) Will it sound better? Yes
3) Will it increase or decrease efficiency? Increase
4) Is it worth $360? Yes, i was quoted 460 for a sports system

[BlackVY]

Thanks guys... that sounds good... now I'm kinda leaning towards getting the exhaust... We'll see what anyone else has to say... I'm thinking its kinda essential for a Commodore to have a good exhaust. Don't know why I put it off for so long...

[HoldrodeoLT]

Cant wait to get my system, i got quoted $1000 + tip... Thats for Pacemaker extractors and a Lukey preformance sports system.. i thought that was a good price...

Wow... that does sound like a really good price, especially for pacemakers... dang... I was thinking about extractors too, but I think I'll do it slowly, once piece at a time... plus, I need more funds... lol

Money should grow on trees... Once i sell the Chugga-along Astra i should be sweet

1) Will it make the car go harder?

Marginally - barely able to measure.

2) Will it sound better?

Nope - V6's always squawk like a constapated duck nomatter what you do to them.

3) Will it increase or decrease efficiency?

Slightly increase exhaust efficiency. Probably won't notice any difference when it comes to fuel usage.

4) Is it worth $360?

Yeah - I'll give you $360 for your VY...... Oh the exhaust..... sounds a fair price to me but I wouldn't bother with an otherwise stock engine unless it was rusted out etc.

You forgot the most important question.
Will it drone?
I would try find someone with the same exhaust & go for a drive before parting with your money. Unless of course your exhaust is crapped out & you need to replace it anyway like reaper said.

Lol... Thanks for all that info... nice to see the facts and hear the other point of view... but yeah, my engine is pretty much stock... all I got in there is a K&N filter and a otr cai, but thats it... so no point in getting the exhaust?

Haha... the drone... my girlfriend will hate that... she likes my car quiet... I had an exhaust in my old VS commodore, and that did drone quite a bit.. yeah I would go for a drive with someone with a VY who has an exhaust, but I don't know anyone... none of my friends have Commodores.. maybe I need some new friends... lol

[trentvy]

Come for a drive in my car

[BlackVY]

Come for a drive in my car

Haha... thanks for the offer dude... but Melb might be a lil too car for me to go to... but all good... lol... since u got an exhaust in ur beast... u can tell me... how does it sound? was it worth putting the exhaust in?

[mina_783]

Have a look on youtube for some exhaust videos. prob be more vx v6 commodore exhaust videos than vy but same engine so they will sound the same

[Slopehead]

YouTube - vy v6 exhaust note
Thats how the 2.5 inch catback sounds. Ive got the redback on my toy and mate i'm more than happy with it. sounds sexy. of course its nothin on a v8 you no, but considering the ecotec was meant to be a quiet engine the 2.5 inch catback does wonders. As for drone factor, at about 2500 rpm she howls a bit. peformance is noticeable, yet slight. bottom line mate, gotta be one of the best things you can do to your beast.

Haha... well I need to justify to myself whats the reason I'm spending the money to get it done... and my girlfriend gets kinda jealous of my car, so I gotta give her a good reason why I need it... and that its just not for fun (which it is)... lol... else she'd say I might as well buy her something.. lol

[XXFR]

Easy - Get rid of the GF. Then you'll have lots to spend on your beast.

Lol

[CANYONERO]

i buy stuff then tell the GF, by the time she finds out its too late! unless its big things that i know shell notice like rims, exhaust lol.

when i bought the SV8 i didnt tell her. she found out when she came around a week later basically. man was she ****ed off that day! lol.

Haha... as much of a Holden fan I am, I don't think I'll get rid of this girl. She doesn't even have her license, but she loves my commodore, gets jealous of it sometime, but would neva let me sell it, so I think thats admirable.


PS: Plus, she is really really hot.... lol
