yeah cause all the fuel is burning in the engine so it doesnt slam into the still burning charge from the other bank when it merges to much timing and not enough fuel and they go real quite hehe

So i went to the Wreckers today looking for Cat back Systems, the only decent one he had, was 2.5 inch, cat back, only a centre muffler, and the rest is 2.5 straight pipe, no rear muffler or resinator either...would this sound like ****? What do you guys reckon. They were asking $40 for it....

im not trying to make my V6 sound like a V8, and this isnt even my post, i'm just posting similar exhaust questions rather than starting new threads all the time, because there's already enough exhaust related threads out there already. Yes i know, fit a set of pacemakers, but i dont have the budget for this right now, i'm simply looking at 2nd hand cat back exhaust systems at wreckers, and then trying to get an opinion on them here....

2nd hand pacemakers and Y pipe. I picked mine up for $150.

get that 2nd hand cat back you mentioned 2 posts up, it'll do the trick. If you don't like it get a resonator welded in.

Use the stock catalytic convertor, it's more than adequate for the job.

Extractors are a must to get a good note from a V6, i had just a 2.5 mandrel bent catback single middle muffler sounded ok, then put pacemakers on and sounded tuff as, now its charged and tuned and sounds even better alot better over 4g its got a bark i think.

Thats cool mate you didnt piss me off. I dont really want to buy off Ebay, i dont want to have to have anything sent to me, and i cant see the exhaust before i buy it. $40 from the wreckers i'm more than happy to pay, but i just want to know what im buying will be ok. I thought the one i looked at that i posted about, might be a bit loud, being that it has no resiantor or rear muffler....But it needed to be re-welded at the centre muffler anyway, so i didnt buy it. I dont want something that i have to get work done to. Also when i shook it around, i could hear lots of nioses from within the centre muffler...???

Man, it would have been fine :) just cut and weld in another centre muffler.

Here's my setup, sounds OK minimal drone etc

Pacemaker headers
Stock cat
2.5" cat back exactly as you described that one at the wreckers to be.
