Stock ve sv6 exhaust sound!!

[OZChris]

does it sound any different to the older VE SV6?

I drove a 12 month old VE SV6 last week, it sounded and went like crap compared to the new one. The six speed auto is also quite good; although not as smooth as the one in the BF2 Fairmont Ghia I just got out of.

i had recently fitted quad tip exhaust from a SSV to my omega and noticed the note is not a great difference. better go for an aftermarket exhaust system if you want to reproduce the V8 roar. my car idle has some burble but not enough, a little louder while idle compared to stock omega exhaust. acceleration note is sweet grunt (alot better than omega stock) but not loud enough.

I have bought a VE HSV exhaust for the SS, thinking of putting the original exhaust on the SV6

Hey mate where did u pick the ve hsv mufflers up from?

thats a really nice car mate. You know what i think will make it look good? BIGGER RIMS

The 20's cost me 3600 bucks as is.. I'd hate to see the price for the same design in 22s!

fair enough man, the tips are really hard to keep clean is all, considering they are extremly thin.
And the mufflers themselves wont give ya much of a better tone, living in auckland for a few years I understand what you mean though.

Coming from the UK where everything is online it can get a bit frustrating lol.

That's pretty much it lol. It did absolutely nothing for performance, I only bought it for the quad tips. For 100 bucks I sure as hell couldn't complain. I was planning on doing a full exhaust but I've put all car plans on hold cos I bought another house on the weekend so no guesses where all my money is going now

I'm not too worried about performance, if I wanted a faster car I'd have gone for the SS. It's all purely the looks and for me the fact it's not noisey is a bonus.

I bought a car with loud exhaust once, souned great in tunnels and multistory carparks but any longer than a five minute drive and it was unbearable.

you wont notice much, if anything mate, check out redback mufflers for the VE

I'll have a look for them :thumbsup:

I got them from a LS1 member, you could also try looking on eBay.

i got a set for mine for 100 bucks looks good and gives the car the note it should have had new not loud but you can hear the engive revs and tell what load it is under

There was a set HSV mufflers on eBay earlier this week that didn't sell for $50.
