SV6 2006 VE a good first car?

A VY is a great choice, their engines are near bulletproof.

 

I now know what you are after.
Looks Fast, Isnt Fast. Massive Mufflers, Mags

Perfect for you...

 

That's the outside diameter/size of the muffler and not the size of the exhaust. 2 1/2 is plenty on a V6

See how ridiculous the 5" sounds now? more researching, googling, reading mate. It will help you in the long run

 

When it comes to cars you really have no idea and this is only because you are young and have no experience, I suggest you go with something smaller and cheaper to run, and learn how to be a safe driver before you try and get to the speed limit as fast as possible otherwise you will end up becoming another number added to the road toll
You really need to do a sh#tload more research on the car you want to buy and the common problems they have, and don't focus on power figures etc
Power figures mean f@#k all when it comes to reliability and running costs

Or you could just buy a new pushbike....

 

Please stop.

A muffler will add some sound but minimal depending on the rest of the exhaust. Ring some exhaust shops AFTER you buy a car and stop talking to ya mates unless their mechanics.

2 Recaro seats are worth MORE then the car.................... there around $1000 each and possibly illegal.

 

I saw this for sale on Gumtree and thought you might be interested

 

don't do any visual mods , you'll only become cop bait , spend what money you have on servicing and running costs and a good set of tyres .

 

I have to say I agree with the general opinion on here. You are better off to get a smaller, cheap to run car like a Toyota or Nissan, then work your way up. It's taken me 10 years to get my first Holden.

 

Buy a cheaper smaller car like others have said and then spend the money you saved on a years subscription to Street Machine or something, then get back to us and tell us how many cars you've seen with 5 inch exhausts, or just learn from reading them that it's a silly idea.

Or buy a v6 don't thrash it, learn to drive it and care and maintain it but don't modify it stupidly. Recaros even if fitted properly will just be theft bait on your car, even a decent set of rims will have you waking up one morning and finding it in a carpark sitting on bricks after its had the crap thrashed out of it.

Seriously get something cheap stock or close to stock and save your cash for a couple of years and get something great then when you've learnt more to blow all your hard earned on.

 

Mate it will sound like a wet fart. I haven't heard a nice sounding exhaust modded V6 yet.

Also I can see many defects in your future.
