ECOTEC exhaust system recommnds

[ka1sa]

Looking into buying an exhaust system for my ecotec vt.
I want pacemaker headers and a 2.5 inch catback, and maybe a hotdog or if I can a bi-modal exhaust. Any tips?
Also anyone got a bi-modal exhaust they can reccomend?
And reccomended exhaust fitters in melbounre?

Bi-modal on an Ecotec? I believe those mufflers cost a fair amount of cash.

first off all it depends on what you want....

i wanted the power gain and loudness...

i first of all started with a lukey read end... and it had a nice note, then i added wild cat extractors and a high flow metal cat... a good power gain and i like the exhaust note.....

i learnt the hard way, paid 1900 for complete exhaust on vt v6 gained about 15rwkw and a bit of sound. if your only after power and maybe abit of a note i would put in rockers and a 2.5' cat back. doing the whole system is not really worth it for the price.

How the hell did you work out that you gained 15rwkw from an exhaust???

The only way I could think is that you were running a highly modified engine or a charger with stock exhaust then changed it over.

I could be wrong, but i'm assuming he had roller rocker with that exhaust.

Best note i have heard was on youtube, i'll go grab it now.

Not bad, but the guy in the background operating the table saw kind of ruins it, LOL.

 

[Full Spectrum]

Lol yes...

That exhaust sounds really nice actually, any thoughts on estimated cost?

I like the sound of this system

But screw spending $1,500 on a exhaust..... There's quite a few on youtube that sound pretty decent.
