- VE SSV MY9.5 Manual Sedan
Hi all,
I'm new to this exhaust upgrade thing, so please bear with me. I am about upgrade my catback on my manual SSV, just with a cheap ebay x-force one for starters. 2 1/2" mild steel one, I just want a better note than stock, and a better flow.
Later on I will upgrade my extractors and cats. Just wondering:
1. will there be any drone from this cat back sys? My car is a full stock at the moment. I HATE drones, as I do quite a bit of freeway driving.
2. I read some posts here about NOT to get x-force cheapo extractors. I was thinking about Pacemaker ones. But what size for my car? 1 3/4 maybe? It is a full stock and I am not planning for cams or induction kit etc, as I am a family man and my funds are limited compared to my bachelor days. I'm only after a good note when putting my foot down and some usable torque and power increases.
3. Cats, 2.5" 100 cpi maybe? Since I wanna free up the flow a bit?
4. Once I installed the extractors and the new cats, the oxy sensor after the cat can still reach and screw in yeah? I will have to dyno tune my car as I have been told, why is that? Is the car drivable before hand? I mean I will have to DRIVE to the dyno shop you see. Will it give me the Check Engine light or will the car splatter and carry on when I drive it?
Cheers ppl.
