who here has done exhaust work on a 5 litre?
ideally id like to get difillipo's but the best i can do on their stainless system is 2k( rrp is 2700).
so my other options are something like pacemakers, genies, hi techs etc, and either a redback or remus system.
difillipo quote 18rwkw gain (which seems huge for exhaust alone).
has anyone had any experience with the other brands?

suggestions would be welcome

cheers

44mm pacemakers twin system with steel cats should work great :)

yep, ive just been quoted on pacemakers into a redback exhaust. sounds very appealing.
i called up another place and they said all i need is cats back? apparently (According to them), unless i do engine mods, extractors wont do anything!
this just gets more and more confusing.

can someone who has done this, or knows someone who has shed some light!

Extractors will give you more oomph, trust me on that. 44mm headers are indeed more for head/cam work, but overall a nice set of headers will make your motor breathe easier not to mention give it a much nicer note in addition to the exhaust

get pasemaker, genie or lukey extractors into either a single 3inch or dual 2.5inch system with high flow cat/s, turbo or hotdog muffler/s and hotdog resonator/s

ok thanks guys, id like to do cam later on at some stage so i may as well do the extractors now.

for the rest of the system, ive heard that Berkley are pretty good and have a great sound.
ill probably go redback, but any thoughts on Berkley?

I will be running pacemakers or DiFillipos into a twin DiFillipo or Remus system on my GTS (once I find one I like for sale:yeah:).
You will pick up a fair wack of power from a good exhaust setup and deffinatly get extractors!

ok so ive decided on pacemakers into a redback system, but ive been told i can retain the standard cats as they flow 5.9litres each (?)
my question is, can u still hook it up as the rest of the system is 2.5inch and the standard is 2 1/4 or something. how do u hook this up to the standard cats?
btw its a dual system.

m8, id go new cats, the standards dont really flow too well, good set of cats will set you back about $380 each, but otherwise VL turbo ones do just fine.

Difillipo cats apparently use redback cores, so i dont believe they are as special as what everyone makes them out to be.

btw, all i have on the books is exhaust and cam so i dont need massive flow as it will be overkill.
