The OFFICIAL VE ALLOYTEC V6 SUPER MASSIVE FUN HAPPY TIME exhaust thread!!!!!!!11!!!!

Ive got an 08 VE SV6 6spd Manual.
A decent set of rear mufflers will be fine!
I have 3" stainless difilippos on mine, then went on the replace hot dogs with straight pipes.
Eventually followed with Pacemaker headers, HM high flow cats (200cpsi) and with that I changed to a Xforce 2.5" centre section to the same difilippos rears..

After all this, if your just after a nice exhaust note on your VE SV6 just swap over the rears and if still keen replace the hot dogs with straight pipes and if your still wanting it louder again then replace the centre muffler with straight pipes too.

Wanting more performance and economy as well, extractors and cats!

Note: 3" Rears do drone a little but have a real nice deeeeeep note! depending on the person depends how much they can tolerate, I didnt mind it.

This is from my experience! Im just sharing it trying to give a hand, if you dont agree thats fine, post your own opinion.

Cheers

Thanks Alex
My VT droned a little bit so I'm kinda used to it and don't really mind it.
Just want that deeper volume
So thanks

 

So what rear mufflers?! Haha

Here is mine mate, just mufflers

 

I just put a set of 2.5" xforce rear mufflers on my mates car (StevieHatz) with im old cat back (stock with hot dogs replaced with straight pipes) along with an intake and its sounds pretty good!! Nice and deep, a decent volume (I would probs want it a bit louder) and barley any drone!

If it was up to me, I would probs go 3" but just because its a bit deeeper and louder than the 2.5" but you do get a little more drone.
An intake would make it sound a little better too (bit deeper and more burbly) and replacing the hot dogs with straight pipes reduces a bit of the drone and makes it a bit more burbly.

I say get a set of 3" Difilippos (Bit pricy, got mine cheap out of luck) or Xforce (can find them pretty easliy and cheap) or ive heard that you cant go wrong with the redbacks (though I think they are only 2.5")

Get a set and leave them on for a bit so they carbon up, then so how you go from there

 

Another option I just thought about would be getting a set of SS mufflers. They sound pretty decent! and can get them or next to nothing!
From there seeing you want more volume replace the centre muffler and hot dogs with straight pipes. I havent heard anyone personally do it but I think it wouldnt be too bad. The bonus being you wouldnt have any drone issues because the rears are 2.25" SS ones.
All the drone from the VE's comes from the rear mufflers being too big or the design etc. (I put the stock rears back on my car with the 2.5" centre section just to see what would happen and the drone was gone!!)

 

anyone swapped out the mid-muffler to an x-pipe or h-pipe??

 

I was going to do the mid muffler delete tomorrow, I've already done headers, hotdog/crimp removal and mufflers and just chasing some more volume. My welding skills are decent it's just going to be hard doing it with only about 4-5 feet of space at my work.

So my question is does anyone know the layout of the mid-muffler and if it's just straight pipe wrapped with steel wool or what? I was thinking about just shaving off the muffler till only the pipes were left. Is this feasible?

 

Cheers Troy, this would have been nice for me about 6 months ago lol

 

Need a "like x a million" button.

 

I have a VE berlina with a single exhaust and looking to change the muffler to a SSV muffler only on the right hand side as I cannot afford a dual muffler system at the moment. If I was to change the right muffler to SSV muffler with twin tips would I need a new diffuser. I am not sure if there is enough clearance the standard Berlina diffuser?

Also does anyone know if a diffuser with a single hole on the right that exists that will fit a twin tip muffler on VE berlina?

Cheers

 

why don't you buy a stock sv6/ss exhaust off ebay? Should be able to get one cheap for like $50-100

kuzman the mid muffler delete sounds good! I was thinking of doing the same thing.. let us know how it goes mate

 

Just as an experiment today, I opened up the mid muffler, took out a fair chunk of the fibreglass mesh and sealed it back up and the noise/drone is pretty bad. I think i'll have to just cut it off and replace with straight pipe when ive got abit more time.

 

BTW thinking of replacing with an x-pipe or sureflo merge, sent an email off to sureflo, anyone have any idea where I could pickup a decently priced x-pipe or similiar?

 

You know what, no, screw that, skip the POS crappy v8 and buy a v12.

 

anyone got some 2.25" pipe lying around of an old exhaust or something I could "borrow" for a few experiments??
