2001 VX Commodore 3.8L V6.. how many cats?

[Anthonie]

Hi all,
I have a 2001 VX commodore executive 3.8L v6 that I am looking to get a 2.5” catback on. However, there seems to be multiple set ups, one is for a daul cat set up and one is for a single cat. I’m not sure if the vx has 1 or 2 cats, I haven’t looked yet but before I do can anyone help me out by telling me how many cats the V6 vx has so that I order the correct catback? Thanks in advance

My advice would be to look under the car. no point ordering something on what should be there only to end up with the wrong item.

Yeah thanks mate it’s just that it parked in an of spot on a main road so it’s hard to look under and I can’t move it before it gets its new motor cause it seased

Pretty easy to swap cat back after the new engine goes in. If a garage is doing the swap chances are they will have it up on the hoist at some point and can let you know what you need.

Standard ecotec V6 should be a single system IIRC. Super6 and V8 had twin systems.

From memory vy2 was the only Ecotec to ever come factory with twin cats.

If you can might be an idea to go twin exhaust. Might breathe easier if you do.
