Hey all,
First time post and new VE owner.
Looking to improve sound and performance on my 2007 VE SS.
Looking at spending around $3500 all up, for a stainless cat-back, OTR and tune.
At first I was set on the Autotechnique VE GEN-11 Kit: include 2.5" VCM cat back, VCM OTR and VCM tune.
I hear VCM OTR and tune is the best around so I'm set on that. BUT its the exhaust im not sure about.
My VE is Auto so I want no drone but the things I dont like about the VCM cat-back is the fact that it is all painted black and also im not a fan of the tips.
The other option for me is the 2.5" KPM stainless steel cat back. From wat I have read this is ment to be one of the best exhausts around both for sound and no drone.
However for Autotechniques GEN-11 package im looking at $3085
If I get the KPM 2.5" cat-back for $2290 fitted and then a VCM OTR and VCM Tune for $1485 thats a total of $3775
So my question after all this is do you think the KPM Exhaust is worth the extra $700 approx, just cause I think it look better and prob sounds better.
Please let me know wat you think.
Sorry for the long thread straight up. I just have not found many threads on people who have VCM Catbacks and wat the honestly think
Thanks guys
rofl - shiny doesn't necessarily mean sounds better.
For me - I'd be perfectly happy running a mild steel pipe. It really depends how important it is for you to add the words "stainless steel" when you are having a group toss over your car with your mates.
Ask to listen to cars running both exhausts and decide which you like the sound of better.
