Exhaust Upgrade for VP V6?

[90VN55]

nah i drive it very rarely cause im only on my L's so i dont use much fuel.

when i get my P's i wont be doing it

Angle Grinder.........0.5m of 2.25" exhust piping....... a mig welder.... = cat back system

Screw driver + cat convert = highflow cat, also smelly cat...

everyone talks about drone, but in reallity ive heard $1000 systems drone, its all about the engine not the exhust, id save your money and get something more worth while to change the engine note...

if you wanted to do it properly id do it from the headers back, run dual 2.25" into 2 STOCK cats, then 1 muffler on each exhust... seriously that will give u the flow and a BETTER note and if you do it right should cost u round $500, talk to VP luke he has a dual 3" system that cost him like $900 with extractors ( i think )

but to be honost, brutally honost.... unless you have the flow then theres no point unless you want it for noise.... its like when my mate put a 3" system on his 2.0L 4 banger...... do some research and decide what exhust you want, do you want to go forced induction? or keep it N/A...

Considering he is on a budget I don't think forced induction would be on the cards any time soon....As the others have said 2.5" from cat back, shop around try not to pay any more than $250...if you call enough places yuo should be able to find one that will do it for that. As for sound..simply tell them what you are after and see how helpful they are...you will soon find out if they are a good shop or just want to sell you a muffler and get you out of there.

When i was at tidd brothers they told me the most expensive parts on the exhausts were the accessory's. Cats-Resonators-hot-dogs-tips.
Basically the cat back exhaust system with single muffler is only $230 ish..

ace do em for $200 if you offer them cash and ask nicely

i mean cmon what is a cat back exhust really, 2M of piping = round $14-16 p/m then a muffler which would cost like $50?? then a few bends... and to be honost whats the point of fitting a 2.5" system to a 2.25", its like having a ricer with a 2L engine with a 5" exhust

I found sydney prices a lot higher than the rest of Aus (from what I heard on here of prices elsewhere). I went to best mufflers (bestmufflers.com), they supplied & fitted extractors and a twin cat back system (2.5i, Lukey) for around $1k, cash.

Are you at uni? Which one? I'm at Macquarie..

Yeh I am at uni atm, but all the way up at UWS in Penrith. Its actually the main reason why I bought the VP coz I heard that a Commodore on the highway is a force to be reckoned with, and being a Holden man, naturally I took the "Commodore as my first car" route.
The Commodore V6 is quite impressive, especially in VP trim. Just put your foot down and you can pretty much overtake or keep up with anything that doesnt have 8 or more cylinders or a turbo/supercharger. I just wish I had the supercharged V6 from a VS-VT Commodore - what a beast my VP BT1 would make.
Anywayz thanks alot. Been a big help. Now I know what to look for and at what price.

These things will even scare the pants of a stock V8 in both holden and ford camps before the big bangers came out.

i paid $330 for a redback exhaust with no rear resinator + 15 for postage

and i put it on myself and its SWEET. but i find i speed more cause i want to make as much noise as possible

yeah im the same. i find my self speeding when taking off just to hear the roar ahahaha

i bbought a red back exhaust with no rear muffler for $250.00 sounds ok. $18.00 postage from ebay, fitted it myself and on the road again.

whats involved in fitting it urself? does it all bolt together or is there welding involved?
