lol thats cause most people just take off the rear resonator and all you hear is drone. do it properly and you will have a nice sounding exhaust.

dont use straight pipes use hotdogs..

Yeh im aware that adding extractors isnt going to make it a V8 sound-a-like... Just asking whether or not they would be better than the stock manifolds in regards to sound.. Thanks guys found my answer :)

All I have on mine is a set of paceys, ballistic 100cfm cat and a rebadged redback muffler. I think it sounds alright till you get above 3k and it's too harsh. Here's it idling. Before you dismiss it for being close I have a few people who can vouch on more then one occasion it's been mistaken for an 8 :p Even by a guy with an 8.

sounds mean wraith.

OP extractors let the exhaust gases flow better so of coarse your gonna have a better sound and a bit more power added(not much)

tomorrow arvo i will try get a video up of my exhaust and i will show you that people that say you cant get a v6 to sound alright are just biased..

get the extractors and high flow cat mate.

I have extractors, 200 hi flow cat, 2.5 inch system with centre hotdog and dump at back wheel . Sounds beefy as in idle and even casual driving. Guys with 8's have mistaken mine on idle for a loud V8 and anyone that wishes to hear mine i can upload a video of it or if you live by will happily show you what it sounds like if you are around Brisbane area just to prove it is possible :)



- exhaust without the hi flow cat, sounds deeper with the hi flow cat :)
