Need pro help with SV6 exhaust....

[HoldenOn]

Yep thats a cat bak system, just bolt it up.

 

[jazza10]

did the same to my sv6. just replaced the sv6 cat back with the ssv cat back system... made very minor changes... my advice to you is to do a straight pipe system... in the course of installing the cat back system i first took off the muffler and the tips behind it. then went for a drive and sounded great.. so im going in 2 weeks to get a straight pipe system..

Thanks HolenOn

i will most likley get a 2.25" catback and bolt it up myself.

Jazza i was thinking of doing the same, unbolting **** ans drivin it to see if its good. but i thought straight pipes were illegal or sounded **** as???

where are your pipes straight from?? where the 2 large mufflers are at the end its just one pipe??

 

[HoldenOn]

Yeah its your bet bet, any bigger and you will loose allot of back pressure, causing a loss in low end torque. I think a twin 2.25 system is about right for an na 6.

 

[Brenno]

The back pressure would be caused by the cats thought wouldn't it?
There are kits on eBay to replace the rear mufflers with straight through pipes and J pipes to eliminate drone.

 

[HoldenOn]

Never put in a J pipe, biggest piece of over noisy droney crap in existance and from the cats back still has a decent impact on back pressure. Uf you want minimal drone get rear resinators

 

[Cazzo]

lol **** be crazy now, me tryna understand all this jargon

what is a resonator....

so, what are the names of the things i need to get for the best loud sound quality???

2.25" Catback...... then resonators?? or like the straight pipes... :S

and what is the rough cost???

the catbacks are like $500 but all this other stuff

 

[HoldenOn]

A cat back system includes all this. On your exhaust you have your main mufflers, just a bit past the catalytic converters, then at the end of your system towards the tip you have another "muffler" the resonator, it basically smooths out the sounds and quietens it a little. Other wise you can just have straight pipes from the mufflers in the middle, however that will be louder and tend to drone(depends on the motor but i believe sidi motors are bad for it), so i would get a system with the resonators to kill some of the drone and keep it police friendly.

 

[HoldenOn]

A cat back including the resonators should only cost around $100 odd more than a straight through system, so say roughly $600. Installing it is no different.

 

[Cazzo]

So the resonators are the big boxes at the very end of my car where the tail pipe is??

Ive seen under my car on a hoist, and was trying to figure it out, so what are the 2 hotdog looking mufflers that are right up under the driver seat called?

Thanks!! so around $600 and ill get a 2.25" catback and some resonators.

none of this will require modification yea? jus bolt on, including resonators and go nuts??

Thanks for the helb bro
