Best exhaust for a VP V8 Calais

[INNAWE]

Sorry if this thread has already been posted before but for the life of me I can not find anything in google to comfirm what I have heard.
After the best system for a V8 VP Calais.
As of yet nothing has been done to the internals of the motor, but will happen in the future so I dont want to do this twice over.
I have been told you can not put a twin exhaust on a VP is this correct?
Currently I have quotes for $1150 to $1300 for Pacemakers and a 2.5 inch single.
Any advise is much appreciated.
Cheers

i'm not 100% sure but i think you can put twin on VP, but you need the extractors to match it or something

Cheers thanks.

Being a Calais, is it IRS? If so, you definitely can fit a twin.

But if you don't want to spend big, you can get a single 2 1/2" cat back with one muffler for about $200.

I have a twin 2.5" system on my VQ, extractors into twin hi flow cats, straight through muffler on each pipe with a crossover pipe towards the rear. Sounds awesome, made a noticeable difference and plenty of room for future upgrades. Everything minus the extractors, $1200, factor in the extractors and roughly $1800.

CHEERS THANKS GUYS.
MAY HAVE TO PUT IT OFF FOR A BIT NOW. JUST GETTING CAR ROAD WORTHY NOW AND CAME BACK WITH AN EXTRA $1000 OF WORK.
BUT CONSIDERING I PICKED THE CAR UP UNREG AND NO RWC THATS MY BAD.
CALAIS COST ME $4000 TO START SO STILL PRETTY GOOD.
IT IS AS STRAIGHT AS YOU CAN GET WITH 19INCH VY GTS RIMS( not road worthy) WITH A SHITKIT.
NOT A BAD START.
THANKS GUYS FOR YOU ADVICE

I just read you are putting it off, but anyway here is mine:

I kept the original HM headers, but went with a twin cat, 2.5" inch system into a 3" muffler, no resonator.

$530 mild steel.

hey i went with extractors(pace makers) into a single high flow cat and 3" the rest of the way back with an intermediate muffler and a rear muffler
sounds tuff and has no drone, i have dropped the rear muffler off to see what its like, its loud as but
drones lot's and is just a bit too loud for a streeter

You can do a FULL twin system with abit of work.

Mine has a twin, but it goes into a single tip at the rear because i hate how 'close' the twin tips are on them.
