    Default Which one of these exhausts ?

    Hey guys im thinking about getting one of these exhausts but unsure what would be better. I have a 190kw vz calais that is stock apart from the 2 hole mod. The first exhaust is a catback twin 2.25 all the way and the second is a catback twin 2.5 into a twin 2.25.

    my opinion:

    no rear muffler on the paceys? will sound nasty

    also the PEX has a poor xflo design, it will get mad hot at the x and eventually cause it to break
    Drive it
    Like ya stole it!

    go with the pex one,
    i have it on my VZ SV6 manual and it sounds great.

    Ive got it with a pair for pacemakers and highflow cats and got decent gains as well.

    i have a pex one on the adventra. It cops a beating, sounds good, isnt too loud, is well made and easy to fit.

    As for the poor x-pipe. I dont think its a true x-pipe, in that it only welds together and not flows between the 2 banks.
    Either way, i love mine. Being mild steel it wont last forever, so i might even buy a second one for the shed.

    I wouldn't get either one. I do a twin 2 1/4" into a single 3" that has no drone and improves performance right across the rev range. $475 shipped.
