Ve exhaust mufflers

[Mitch602]

Hi everyone,

i'm wanting to change my mufflers and i have found these (https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/munster/other-parts-accessories/exhaust-deletes/1234337164) and wanting to see what everyone thinks. Will there be make drone? Is it worth it?

Thanks for any responses.

Is there decently cheap way to reduce drone?, or would it not be worth it for a lowish budget. Thanks

Yes, they will drone like hell, and sound like a constant Fart !
No, its not worth it,
And you will get sick of the noise, unless you want to be cop bait, and seek their attention, and get done for a Noise Defect, and get a Canary,
Then have to get a roadworthy, they will then find other things wrong with that needs to be fix,
which will cost you more in the end,
Then you will try and sell them, then the person looking at them, askes why did you take them off,
then you have to BS why, then he wont buy them, unless they are really cheap, and try and low ball you, etc, etc
I have heard these on a V6, and they sound bloody terrible, the noise reverberates through the whole car idling, accelerating, cruising, they are crap.
Save your Cash.

Keep an eye out for a VF GTS centrepiece. From what I’ve played around with and come to learn; it’s the stock centre muffler that causes all that drone. Shouldn’t cost too much considering what it is.

So centre muffler delete is the way to go?

Is this on a V6 or V8?

Yeah, for some cheap noise that won’t drone like a set of rear muffler deletes on a stock system. Just remember the stock system on a VE SS/SV6 is 2 1/4” and VE/VF Clubsports, Maloo’s & GTS’ scored a 2.5” system stock. Also, on a stock system if you delete the centre muffler, you’ll need to think about what you want to do regarding a merge. There are a variety of X pipes, H pipes/balance pipes or you could forget a merge entirely and run a true twin system. But I’ve heard that you lose torque with no merge. Cheers.
