VY Exhaust

[sav-vy]

Sorry another exhaust thread....

Ok, so i bought myself a VY Commodore and am looking into putting an exhaust on it.
Have been reading about and have heard alot about a catback 2.5 redback or lukey.
I want an exhaust that, will just give my car abit of a note, i dont want it to sounds like a hoons car etc.

Any suggestions?

Have a budget of around the 300-400 dollar mark....

Thanks in advance

g'day. first off, there is a whole batch of exhaust threads if u search for em, but, what the hell.
if its serious 2, lukey dont make exhaust for it.
a lukey system is a deepish growl... not hoonish unless u dump it... looking at rought $400-$500 for cat back.
iv got a mantra cat back with pacemaker extractors and magnaflow cats, VERY loud system, but i love it.. im not sure how much the mantra is as i paid wholesale on mine. but cheaper then lukey.
hope that helps.

yeh it is a series 2 if thats what u mean by serious 2 haha

i have had a listen on the internet and i like the sound of the redback does anyone have it on a car like mine that could shed some light, price? sounds? etc

i put a lukey 2.5 catback cost me 350 well worth it. nice sound. not too loud. cops don't take notice. and when you open it up it sounds deep.

so a lukey system won't fit a VYII even with the single cat?

[one_and_only2004]

it probably would with the single cat. Mines a series 2 single cat and off the shelf kits fit it. The exhaust i run now is a 2.5" single off a VU ute.

Save your money. You will never get a decent sound out of a Holden V6 - something to do with the engine firing order.

or something to do with it not being a V8 :P

I actually prefer the sound of 4 and 6 cylinder motors. v8s sound like they're misfiring...

Game thing to say on a site mostly run by V8 drivers. I personally don't mind a good six as long as it isn't too loud. 4 bangers I hate with their exhausts done.
My ideal tone is a nice lumpy cammed V8

ok so i have sort of decided on the 2,5 redback

can anyone give me an idea on how much itll cost me to have one fitted to my vy s2?

also anyone know anywhere in melbourne that will do it?
preferably eastern suburbs

cheers

Just get one off ebay and fit yourself. It's just a straight bolt on system.

Step 1: Jack the car up and put on stands
Step 2: Remove 4 bolts from cat back mounting points
Step 3: Put new system on and do up bolts
Step 4: Go around the block a few times to get used to the roar

just get the ss system put on does the trick and get new rear section made up for more sound!! should cost round 300 topsYouTube - vy ute exhaust
