    Exclamation Vz Sv6 Exhaust!

    Hey guys just joined the forum and was wondering what any of you think about the exhaust that i want to get, good or bad can you please write what you think .
    I got all the pricing for this of ebay and the price at the bottom is excluding the price for installation.

    (x1) Pacemaker Headers - $550
    (x1) 2 1/2" Redback Catback - $320
    (x2) MagnaFlow Cats - $215 [each]

    = $1300

    Any idea how much installation is?

    Thanks guys.

    2 1/2 is too big for the alloytec 2 1/4 is better have a look at the threads there are alot of threads about exhausts.

    mate, it has become apparant to me that a lot of the knobs on this forum have absolutely no clue about what works/doesnt on alloytecs, the info you have been fed above is Bull$h1t..

    twin 2.5 inch is big and if not done perfect can drone like hell. Single 2.5 is what i have, and i havent had to change anything.. i like it and so do a few other people i know, in saying that, not everyone does. But not everyone has to. Everyone seems to have a different opinion so find something you like and stick to it. Twin 2 1/4 is a decent size for the alloytec aswell, heard good reviews about a system that im surprised not_an_abba_fan hasnt already posted on here.

    The rest sounds fairly reasonable, but i owuldnt worry about the cats, the standard ones do the job well enough.

    standard cats are high flow, single 2.5 is what castle hill exhaust recommend with their tune, 2.5 is a bit over kill, but will gain more power up top in the rev range. i know the op asked how much it will cost, so id roughly say 100-200, you can fit the cat back yourself, easy as piss, cats dont worry about, and the headers will need to get done by a frofessional, as they have to move the cats to a different location, and welding is required

    Btw its twin 2 1/4 into single 2 1/2
    Headers then the 2 cats the 2 1/2 inch pipe 2 more cats then 2 mufflers then merging into single 2 1/2 and then another muffler then tip.

    If you wanna do it cheap just swap headers and remove/change the cats/mufflers.

    Read something like that correct me if wrong.

    Cheers
