Xforce Exhaust problems with the vf sv6.

[Tonner Matt]

Well now i feel like a right dick ahahha. Just got a chisel gave it a little tap and off it came. Cheers for the help guys.

It's all part of the learning process mate
Sometimes it's just the little things that can do your head in...no matter how experienced you are

Not really what i expected not to bad though doesnt sound anything like any of the youtube videos of the xforce but ill be looking at getting a set of headers which might make it sound a bit better. One question i got though is it normal for the exhaust to smell like burning. Is it just the oils burning off or have a stuff something up?

Headers?
I thought the exhaust manifold was integral on the SIDI 3.6.
Re the burning - sounds normal. As long as the smell diminishes after 5-10 minutes, you will be fine.

Yeah your right just had a look on xforces website and didnt realise it says will not fit sidi. That sucks then.

Burning is normal, takes about 1000 KM for a new exhaust to fully burn in.

Headers will make a big difference to the sound. From my experience with X-Force, all they do is make the exhaust loud, no real character to it.

Might have to look into anyother exhaust later then, maybe a custom one. Just couldnt turn down the offer of the exhaust costing me $700 instead of $1400. being xforce aswell i wouldve thought it would be a better product but oh well you learn from ya mistakes i suppose.

 

[Riley.Davies98]

Is there any other options for the sidi header or can you not change them at all. Sucks if ya cant change them

 

[Not_An_Abba_Fan]

No you can't change them, they don't have "headers" or an exhaust manifold. As already said, the exhaust outlets from each cylinder are built into the head, similar to the Subaru where the engine pipes bolt directly to the exhaust port on the heads.
