Try get a turbo cat back system second hand. Very happy with mine and it sounds great....

any other suggestions guys as to what you think will give a better sound? the cat back system or replacing center muffler with a hot dog?

cheers

hey guys,

just got off the phone with my insurance company in regards to making modifications to the exhaust. everything is all good insurance wise now its just a matter of picking the right exhaust.

what recommendations do other NA xr6 owners have in regards to exhaust mods? I have around $800 to spend. im going to an exhaust place this wednesday to test out a few different things and to see what they have to say.

so hopefully soon I should have a nice sounding xr

cheers guys

Bit of advice watch what you are told by exhaust shops, I put a xr8 twin 2.25 inch systm on my car, beforehand I rang around 3-4 places and was told a lot of things why they wouldnt put it on, one said that the car would not physically go over 60 klm an hour glad top say that didnt happen.

Cheapest and probably best set up is either a xr6t or xr8 system with a metal cat and pacies either 4490 or 4495 comp headers

the twin 2.25 inch pipes give you a total area that equates to a single 3.18 inch pipe so flow is better, to go one step further put 2 resonators in where the centre muffler is equals more flow.

for $800, you should be able to get the whole exhaust one this way.

good luck with it

I removed my center muffler and it sounded sh*t. had a 2 1/2 inch pipe from cat back cost $300 sounds good

how did you go getting that XR8 system on? was it an expensive/time consuming job?

fresh topic for me lol. went around to a few exhaust palces to install the typhoon catback system and none could do it. the last one I went to yesterday said he could but when he got round to it the rear muffler pipping wouldnt go over the rear axle. I dont know if it has anything to do with the fact that mines a bf and the exhaust is off a ba, no one thinks theres any difference and heaps of people have done it no worries but im walking proof of murphys law so it had to go wrong. in my frustration I jsut got him to replace the centre muffler with straight pipes even though id heard it doesnt sound good. im fairly happy with the result though. it was 60 buks and was more of the sound I was looking for anyway. its a throatier sound which is what I like, not that loud raspy sound. its also liveable with in that its not overly loud and doesnt give you a headache when driving around. above 2.5k rpm the engine sound takes over and you dont notice much difference from the stock system. it just gives a burble off the line which is what I like. it also gives a slightly louder ignition with a little more rumble than stock, not enough to get annoying if you were at a standstill for a long time though. at times you wish it was a little louder but im sure if it was youd get sick of it with everyday driving. the only reason im not 100% is because the turbo system would most definately give a little extra performance even though I probably wouldnt notice much difference between the two. if you decide you want to fit the turbo cat back you can have mine if you want ive had enough of trying to fit it and will live with the straight pipes.
