ah sweet, well looks like i got a good buy then, everyone seems to think they sound good :)

i need to upgrade to a 3inch, how pricy is the 3inch

3 inch is around $460, i just couldn't justify spending an extra ~$270 for that extra half an inch on a practically stock 5ltr :p. maybe you'd be better off hunting down a used twin 2.5?

I was thinking either a 3inch or twins for it, if i had a better welder i would do it myself but yeah, i just gotta keep an eye out on ebay.

Let us know how it sounds.

I have a twin cat, 2.5" twin system on mine that goes into a single 3" and then one muffler at the back, no resonator. I'm getting a bit bored with it and am thinking about a single 3" system.

new exhaust fitted today. sounds sooooooo much better than the old pile of ****. an added bonus - my car had recently developed a rattling noise which i thought was the motor kicking the bucket, turns out it was just the old exhaust falling to bits :p

sorry about there being no video

i dunno, that sounds like it would be a lot better than mine :p

hah! You can clearly hear that the cam isn't stock now in that video since it's a bit louder and easier to listen to properly. It's only little but you can hear it

Vk commodore, hq one tonner, hj ute,
looks great and the interior look beautiful.
you should get the chrome centercaps and chrome trim for the stock rims,
thatd look sick :)

EDIT: also the new exhaust sounds good. do you have the cat, converter and the hotdog muffler or what?
