just got the exhaust done. twin 2.5 inch redback catback exhaust. nice deep note, and not too loud. however, it does drone at very low rpm (1000-1500) but its not too bad.

il take some pics and put up a video when i get time

I think this issue is inherent with the Twin 2.5 setup, mine is pretty much the same. Much better than stock though! Your ride looks nice I just got the Mace Manifold Insulators, only took a few hours to install; protip you may want to do spark plugs at the same time

[richardpalinkas]

yea i just got the 120 000 k service so the plugs have been changed i was thinking of getting the mace manifold insulator, did it make much difference?

Nice, cbf paying what my dealer wanted for the full 120,000km Service, so just got them to do the basics and handled the spark plugs at home. I think the Mace Insulators are helping quite nicely, although I haven't had amazing testing conditions as every moment of free time I've had since installing them it has been raining here. :O Can certainly notice quicker pickup around the 50-90kph range though.

hey guys, just got a video of my exhaust up, it sounds good with headphones or good speakers, as the note is too low of frequency for laptop speakers to even reproduce.

Not a bad deal but why is the other guy doing the swap.
BTW 20inch tyres aren't cheap even the cheapies.

[richardpalinkas]

he said he is sick of paying for tyres for them, because he has a vt ss, which has the bad camber problem. and he wants to put it back to more stock looking. i picked up 2 tyres for $80 with 80% tread.

[Surfwagon]

I've heard a fex people say the Ns2 tyres are ok and not too pricey.
Listy on LS1 forum uses them for track circuit racing and sya they are good and quite sticky in the dry.

[richardpalinkas]

sweet, il keep that in mind when im due next

[kngsv6]

hey mate does ur exhaust drone at all?

[VEE WHY]

same exhaust system with straight tthrough pipes all way through
my drones also

[richardpalinkas]

well mine has the resi on the rear, but yea it does drone at low rpm. doesnt really bother be because its not that bad.

[richardpalinkas]

bad news, the rims i was gonna get this weekend has been put off for a little while... was hoping to have them on in time for the brissy cruise. oh well, next time boys

oh and the tyres i was gonna buy were split all the way around the sidewall. why would someone think they could honestly sell them? and i drove all the way from gold coast to redcliff to find out as well.

now i know, if its too good to be true, it probably is...
