Excuse my ignorance. But why are x-force exhaust so bad? This is the first place I've seen where people bash x-force exhausts. Used to have one on my vz ute and I honestly didn't think it was that bad... What am I missing?
They are cheaply made, drone like #### and rust away and end up with holes in mufflers and pipes in 6 months on average and within 12 months they are pretty ####ed and they hang low as well hitting ####ing everything on slightly lowered cars.
Forget the 3" too big for no reason really, its just another point hanging low that will hit **** and bumps on the road.
Pacemakers will be $750-$1200 depending on which you get either tri-ys or 4-into-1s, I'd suggest tri-ys unless your gonna add a massive cam and stall (assuming its auto) since they will give you more down low.
2.5" 200CPSI cats, i use Venom cats off a store in Doncaster, Vic but he sells em on ebay too, you get get a pair of em for under $400.
Exhaust, any decent twin 2.5" system, i use auspac on mine, mantas a good option except its gotta ship from WA and courier companies are **** dropping and damaging ****, or whatever you can find from your local exhaust places.
All up including fitting and welding (plus removing a broken header stud in the block FFS) it cost me about 2 or 2.1k for the system installed, but i purchased the headers and cats myself so i didn't pay a exhaust shop markup on parts.
