    Default WL alloytec 175KW cat back advice

    hi everyone,

    I drive a 3.6 alloytec V6 175KW...

    I need advice, I was thinking of changing my exhaust system, but i'm not sure how many inches i choose, 2.25", 2.50", or 3"

    without loosing the back pressure, and with a nice sound,

    i was searching too much for this issue, every one has a diffrent opinion

    thanks

    From what ive heard mate, twin 2.25", twin 2.5, or single 3".
    Yours being a 175 prob the twin 2.25" would be best. I know with the Alloytech 190, you can get away with twin 2.5" & single 3".

    the only ones that sound bad are done by exhaust shops that have no idea...

    done correctly a single 2.5 will sound very good and not drone or sound like a wet fart

    Dear Dale@CHE, i have two MAGNAFLOW 2.5' middle and rear mufflers, and i'll make the piping in a specialist shop, do you think the sound will be OK? and what about the catalytic converters? should i change them as well? what is the size?


    My WL is 175KW , you know mate i'm from BAHRAIN, Bahrain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, we've never seen a 190KW at all in the ArabianGulf.

    guys, HELP i'm confused,
