hey guys im thinking of putting a straight pipe exhaust on my VX V6. No cat & No mid or end muffler. just a hotdog before the end tip. Would having this type of exhaust decrease performance than increase?? i know it would be way over the DB limit aswell. any help??

Ha Ha Ha , you for real ? Hope you have heaps of $$$$$$ to pay the fines .
Too loud to start with and running an exhaust without a cat is a big no no

first of all get off this forum if u dont want a cat, this world is already ****ed enough without people like you hurting it more, you will see no extra gains without a cat, get a highflow. if everyone ran there cars without a cat this world would be gone, just so u can see a 2kw increase

Go gains on a N/A ecotec with a hiflow cat unless it stroked, worked and pulling 200kw+.
No cat will give no gains... probably loose bottom end due to lack of backpressure...
And if i get caught without a cat its a HUGE fine....
Plus the fact that everyone thats near your car when its running is breathing gases that are even more toxic that your normal exhaust fumes...

If you do it.. your a knob jockey

A hotdog on a straight through system (with a cat) will sound like a ricer... and really really drone...

Wtf????

LOL... I have Twin Cats, Two Intermediate Mufflers and 1 Duel pipe rear muffler, It is absolutely ear piercing at Full Noise!! and you wanna run just a Hotdog???

You asked for advice and well, the boys have already said exactly what I think, Knob Jockey, Crazy, Inconsiderate and well, you probably know the rest....
I hope you were just starting this thread to stir a few people up, Coz if you are for real.................................................SPEACHLESS!!

Is there something in the water there that eats brain cells? Surely you can't be that ignorant.
