if you want to do it cheaply, without a complete zorst and without the drone you could try these.......

don't know what they are like in the flesh, but i can't afford a complete system so i'm thinking about a couple of these

You could go with a stainless steel catback system from PWR. A friend of mine has one on his new VE SS and it sounds pretty good. Looks the goods too, and there is no drone. Not too expensive and his is covered under warranty.

PWR Performance Products - Custom Made Aluminium Radiators, Oilcoolers, Intercoolers and Superchargers

Something like the CAT Back S/Steel System - Soft - VE SS (Sedan) Product part PWR4085

Food for thought.

unfortunately if you want it to sound like a V8 you may have to be content with the drone , you can put sound deadener in the spare wheel well, put wadding under the carpet in the boot I have a D & T exhaust cost 2200 sounds great , it does drone down in the low speeds but every other time it sound great, and if you are into the muscle car sound it is great and it takes you back to the 70s wind down the window turn off the radio and listen to the music coming from the exhaust,

also do not forget to tell your insurance company because it alters the policy and if they do not know about it you can void your insurance, it made 100 dollars a year increase to my policy for a cat back exhaust ,

Hi mate
Mutual Community if you read the small print on your policy and the clause that says with holding any changes made to your vehicle MAYl void your insurance policy , and if it is not the factory fitted item and an aftermarket has been use the insurance policy needs to be updated , They class it as a performance exhaust , which it is the gain in KW and the way it opens up the breathing on my car it is very noticeable and unfortunately I paid for the exhaust and now I still have to pay yearly. so the exhaust does work out very expensive I suppose that if you do not tell the insurance company and you do not have to make a claim that is sweet but on the other hand if your claim includes the exhaust ,they could make a song and dance about the whole claim and I thought that I paid too much money for my car and to cover all of my car . everyday more and more idiots on the road. and insurance companies are in the business of making money either way that that can . Check your policy

Just got a full 2.5 inch X Force stainless system (inc 4 into 1 headers and high flow cats) on my VE.

Great V8 burble at idle (now sounds like a v8 should), no drone when just cruising along, but get her some and she howls. Very happy with result. Doesn't draw attention driving around town but lets you know she's there when called on. Probably up for mid 2k's for full stainless set-up depending on brand and size. Few hundred less for mild steel, but as other have stated, your gonna get pinged with the extra insurance prem any old how.

I can hook you up with a Pacemaker stainless steel twin. Not cheap though, around $2500.
