Vy ss ute exhaust

[utemanv8]

Hello, i have a VY SS 02 Manual Ute with NO engine work, Ive had so many different things said to me about exhaust systems for these cars....i want to tell u wat Ive got and wat im looking for and if someone could please tell me the easiest way to achieve this...
I have pacemaker extractors, hi flow cats and just had a full red-back 2.5 twin system cat back installed without a rear muffler/ resonator. I wasn't happy wit the sound as it droned and had a weird sound to it inside the car. So i got a rear resonator installed and now it doesnt resonate but its just to quite... every one tells me to put and 2.5 x-force system on but i just dont see it making that much difference....then ppl say to get a 3" system and i dont no where to go from here...Basically with the Pacemaker and Hi-Flow cats wat system should i run to get the v8 rumble and lumpy on idle without the resonating...cheers!!!

PLZZZZZ help me!!!

changing from one 2 1/2" to another won't change the power much mainly just the sound.
A lot of people use the X force stainless as its a cheap system in stainless but a lot of them say the system sounds tinny and they drone.
Twin 2 1/2" is big enough upto a mild cam, otr and mafless tune.
Twin 3" only needed for big cams, low gears or forced inductions and without those type of mods you'll most likely get droning.

I do a system that has hotdogs on the front and a resonator on the rear. It is nice and deep, louder than the system with front mufflers but doesn't drone.

Ty for the reply, so do u no wat combo will give me wat I'm looking for? Wats the the 2 1/2 mild steel force system like do u think it would change the sound from the red back system? Thanks

hey thanks for the reply, so u think if i remove the middle mufflers and replace it with hotdogs with my pacemaker extractors and high flow cats it will have a nice sound to it?
would it have that lumpy sound on idle? i no its not going to be really lumpy but atm is so smooth it sounds like a 6. cheers.

for the high flow cats and full 2 1/2" system it was bout $1200 the extractors were on it when i bought it...

dude i have Pacemaker Tri-Y extractors, a full stainless steel 2.5" xForce exhaust with the centre mufflers and the rear ones along with 2 Sureflow ballistic cats on my VY SS and honestly i wouldnt go any louder than what i have. When im cruising you can hear the car but does not drone one bit.. when i put my foot down people have to block their ears on the street lol i highly recommend the set up i have.. it sounds awesome!

It is a Manta system, I do them for $650 plus shipping. Comes with stainless tips too.

so with the manta system wat do i actually get? mild steel 2 1/2" cat back system wit hot dogs in the middle and rear resonator?
