mr gsr Member 46 Member For: 18y 4m 7d Posted 13/02/09 12:38 PM Posted 13/02/09 12:38 PM (edited) Thanks for the info Brian....I've actually gone down the tunehouse exhaust path myself now.... Just thinking of upgrading to the 5" cat though... Might as well do it right the first time.....Brian, have you ported your wastegate and changed to a 12psi actuator?Jim hasnt mentioned the need to as yet... But thinking of just doing it all in one hit..... I'm looking for around 330rwkw...... Mods will be PW Stage 1 cooler with upgraded pipework, F6 CAI, tunehouse exhaust, PW surge tank, Nizpro injectors...... Edited 13/02/09 05:25 PM by Dagabond

Sweno Member 7 Member For: 17y 7m 17d Gender: Male Location: Albany, WA Posted 20/02/09 10:07 AM Posted 20/02/09 10:07 AM Ooh first post .Hi everyone,I was wondering about exhaust systems and after seeing how many people have Xforce systems, I thought I'd have a hunt for one of those.What I'm looking for is a loud exhaust (I'm very into the needless noise) that definitely doesn't have a horrible drone. Reading some posts I see that just removing the centre muffler gives you a meaty sound, but I would much prefer a new turbo-back stainless exhaust.I found this one on eBay, for those of you that may have it, what does it sound and perform like?XFORCE 3.5 INCH TURBO BACK EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH 4" DUMP PIPE AND 3.5" HI FLOW METAL CAT"http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FALCON-BA-BF-XR6-TURBO-UTE-3-5-XFORCE-EXHAUST-XR6T_W0QQitemZ110349813059QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Car_Parts_Accessories?hash=item110349813059&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318"Also what other systems has anyone found that have a loud mean sound? What would you recommend?Cheers
