Was just wondering what would be a good sounding exhaust for my VY series 1 V6 I have a redback system on it now and it's not very good I want a louder better sounding one so let me know cheers
A Lukey will be louder, and scream like a dying giraffe on bath salts. A Manta is what you want for a quality exhaust.
$255 will get you a cat back with front muffler and rear tail pipe. Includes shipping and the clamps. It will be deeper and less raspy than the Redback. The quality of note will be much better. Not louder than the Redback, unless you have a rear resonator now, but the note will just be better all round.
The note is already deep a little too deep actually doesn't sound like a V6 anymore sound like a very unhealthy V8 and yes I have a rear resonator on it
Well, the Manta will be louder and slightly higher pitched without the resonator. Smooth too, not raspy. They are deeper with the rear resonator. You can remove your rear resonator, but all it will do is make the crappy note louder. The Manta uses a different, better quality muffler, that's where the better note comes from.
i got mine made up and it sounds so good! crackles on down gears and everything.... really nice exhaust... go get a cat back made up
xforce twin 2.5 inch catback exhaust , check on ebay they have there cheaper if u noe how to install will be cheaper for you
A twin 2.5 on an ecotec is too big. And you HAVE to get an exhaust shop to install it....No two Xforce's are alike...
Don't wanna sound like im blowing smoke up my own arse but mine sounds pretty good. Pretty deep note and barely any drone at cruise. Most people who don't know my car say when i pull up it sounds like an 8. I personaly don't think it sounds like an 8, but it certainly has a deeper note then most i hear round the place. So i guess thats what they mean. Mines just extractors with custom Y piece into a single 2.5" High flow cat back, straight through sports muffler with res.
I have extractors into a Y then a single 2 1/2 system with 2 mufflers.. Just need a high flow cat but it sounds in for a 6..
If i can get a decent recording on my phone i'll post up in near future. But experience tells me it won't do it any justice Come for a drive to Brissy? lol
hey guys I just got a stock vy accliam series 1. and it sounds lame. I have really not much knowledge with cars but rougly how much would it cost me to get a decent sounding system put on by a mecanic??
Read the posts above and read the threads below. Or if too lazy call an exhaust shop, they'll sell you something and tell you it's good. http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vy-holden-commodore-2002-2004/205254-vy-3-8l-v6-exhaust-upgrade-help.html http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vy-holden-commodore-2002-2004/213647-vy-v6-exhaust.html http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vt-vx-holden-commodore-1997-2002/207556-good-exhaust-v6-vt-commodore.html http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/xforce/205253-vy-v6-ute-xforce-exhaust.html http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/vt-vx-holden-commodore-1997-2002/159025-vt-v6-exhaust-note.html
With muffler and resonator, $295 shipped, with muffler, without resonator, $255 shipped. Brand is Manta.
I have a good performace system on my vy series 2 V6 and its pacemaker headers (2.25" outlet) into 2 2.25" hi flow cats which go its 2 mufflers (1 for each side) which then join into a single 3". the catback part is a Manta system that i got from Not_An_Abba_Fan and its nice and quite when driving around normally but when you put your foot down it becomes nice and loud and has a good note to it this is a video from late last year of it and i still need to do a drive by exhaust video
