exhaust for vz commodore to sound like v8

[henrytad]

hi im looking around to get an exhaust put on my commodore vz 05, that will make it sound like a v8 taking off.
whats the best suggestion?
i saw this 1 on youtube YouTube - XFORCE Twin 3" Cat-back Exhaust for Holden Commodore SS

hows that one? does anyone else have it?

[f1tzy]

Thats already a v8. You will never get a 6 to sound like an 8

[H1GHROLLR]

plus xforce is proberly the worst choice exhaust ever

i 2nd that

[henrytad]

what are my options then, i basically want a nice noise when i take off, not something thatll piss everyone off every morning cause its too loud if you know what i mean. n arouind 500/600 mark give n take a little.

LS1 conversion should do it..

[f1tzy]

Basically, you can have a nice sounding 6 but you wont get the v8 type rumble or note. Have a listen to monaro327's exhaust, i think its the best sounding v6 ive ever heard

[Lumps of cheese]

lol, it's hard enough getting a ls1 to sound like a V8.

I actually like the sound of this one

good luck getting a nice note out of an alloytec, its to easy to make them sound like a jap ricer than meaty note, even the standard v8 exhaust on mine sounds raspy and gross

[ashbox]

agreed, i've never heard a "nice" exhaust on a vz thats why i still have the factory one

You'll never get an alloytec sounding like a V8. This is the best alloytec exhaust i've heard though:

YouTube - ve sv6 new exhaust

Most sound terrible but that one is alright. Its a VE, but same engine. You can here in this one, which is also a VE using an x force system, that it still doesn't hide the blender noise an alloytec makes at high revs, but down low it can still make an ok sound:

Yea, I noticed that :rollseyes:

best case scenario go down to sureflow in ingleburn and ask for a 2.5 inch catback, its the best sound you can get out of a alloytec v6, sounds sweet when you punch it on motorways or on cold days.

hahahahahahaha i thinks thats a forum members car tooooo..

if i remember correctly, something was said about it sounding great??

it might sound great though if you stepped out of a excel into that......

[impulsive]

personal opinion i guess, although most people that hear it like it.. BUT i must agree that video does not do it justice..

that video does sound like crap but when your in the car it sounds good, im a big fan of this car

[1991_Vn2nV]

Ah. Whoops. My apologies as I didn't realise it belonged to a forum member

Definitely nothing against the car (I have a VN after all ), just I prefer the Xforce exhaust.

... Soo, hows that weather?

dont go to over the top with the exhaust i made this mistake it cost me a shitload and ended up sounding like a mack truck running a suzuki 3 cylinder engine now i have a simple old 2.5" cat back system with a couple of outlaw hiflo cats will never sound like a v8 but sure beats the factory whisper

best advice yet.. 2.5 catback, press bent to save $$, mandrel bent doesnt make a diff to a sv6,
