Removing Centre Muffler From 2.5 Xforce

[Robbo VS3]

Got a full system on the SSV and am still looking for a little more sound out of it. Would removing the centre muffler from the 2.5" catback be a good alternative to stepping up to 3 inch? Would it make it much louder, more drone?

most likely make it more raspy,I did the same mod a few years back,wasnt happy with the sound.probably better to change your rear mufflers as they determine the volume of the exhaust more than the centre does

I'll complete the sentence.

Removing Centre Muffler From 2.5 Xforce will sound crap.

Change the catback to something decent rather than 'upgrading' to a 3" X-Force. My two cents, everyones opinion will be different but personally I hated my X-Force system.

On a more serious note though, yes it will make it louder and yes it will also make it drone more.

3" X-Force Varex system sounds awesome..... X-Force make a variety of systems, some are crap, others good

Agree to disagree. Varex is just the rear mufflers that are bi-modal and cost a fortune, you may as well just get a 2.5" system with no middle mufflers or hot dogs, have an x-pipe near the axle and HSV bi-modals - it will cost you less for all that then it would for Varex mufflers and sound way better.

Conversely for the same price as a 3" system in stainless with Varex mufflers you can get a Harrop bi-modal system or a Difilippo system and have the HSV bi-modal system added to it.

Diflilippo make bi-modal systems as well, had a 3" cat back fitted to my Maloo couple of weeks back.

Interesting, I thought they just 'retained' the factory bi-modal. Did not realise it was actually a bi-modal system. If so how much did you pay?

I wouldn't mind changing my mufflers to the 3" bi-modal ones then.

$2500 supplied, fitted and adapted to my Sureflo headers and Ballistic cats.

DPE are a great source for the Bi-Modal valves.
