Muffler delete

[PlenumBiscuit]

My exhaust shop said they can delete my rear muffler for $120 "exhausts plus salisbury"

doesnt sound too bad

thatll give me a bit of growl on my v6 yea?

And I guess you should then have growling neighbors as well and you needing to wear earplugs so the droning does perhaps not get into your brain.

1 muffler delete aint gonna bother neighbours

I already think of them first

Only adds a bit of growl on the throttle

$120 for 1 foot of piping sounds steep....for bit more can find 2.5" catback exhausts some of which come with rear pipe instead of resonator.

Daily v6 ute was still quiet with just centre muffler...if it were loud I'd have hated it not being a v8 haha

No mufflers is pretty standard for Salisbury right

It will be much more droney my old V6 was almost unbearable over 60km/h, if it's the stock system you'd be better off ordering a redback system off ebay for like $200 or something which is a straight bolt on rather than hacking up the stock piping.

Hey guys, I'm new to the JustCommodores Forum. On the subject of removing a rear muffler... I have a 2007 VE Commodore Omega V6 Auto. If I was to keep the original Resonator & Cat Converter in the centre section of the exhaust system but only removed the rear muffler, is that a legal issue in Queensland? I cannot find any exact info on this on any of the QLD Govt. / Transport websites.

I am pretty sure you will find with a VE that if it came with a resonator it will need to have one to stay legal. But having said that plenty of folks remove it and if it aint noisy or droney, likelihood of getting booked is slim. Why would you remove it anyway? It's unlikely to increase your HP by anything noticable.

 

[French Fred 4777]

Thanks losh1971. I am keeping the resonator. I am looking at only removing the rear muffler. It's purely to get a bit more sound / noise. Do you know if it's still legal to have a full standard exhaust system, minus only the rear muffler?

 

[losh1971]

Oh I misread the question, just re-read it. I suggest you post your question in the VE forum, as being a VE it might have other complications than just legal issues.
