Fg Turbo - Centre Muffler

[Ike]

Hey guys, yes yes another centre muffler thread.... now im posting in the ute section for a reason, because I want to hear from UTE owners. Plenty of threads out there for sedans, but nothing really about the utes....

Now after reading all over the forums about the mod being $100 and blah blah I thought that sounded great, then I went to the exhaust shop and realised the Utes go from a single in to the muffler and come out double....

Now what have you guys done? Put in a Y Piece, single into twin?

The exhaust shop quoted me $300 to do that all with flanges so I can drop the resonator if need be and place stock muffler back into place.

Any comments, pictures and or videos would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Andrew

I got mine done....the pic attached is how they will do it. this cost me bout 150. I wouldnt bother with the flange option, but that's my opinion.

I had the same realization my friend. Only option is the Y-piece I think. I just hope it won't whistle with that sharp edge inside where the two pipes join.

Mine cost me $150, I got the y-pipe into twin 2.5". Sounds good can hear it mostly around 1800-2200rpm has a nicer deep note to it now.

Would there be much difference in sound if you went with the single straight through (3/3.5") instead of the twin?

did any of you guys put a resonator? or just do the pipe?

I dont want it to be to loud like those N/A ones driving around

Well why not leave it stock then?

I think the twins might give it a better note rather then the horrible sound (the N/A one your referring too) some tend to pick up.

Got mine done the same as above..y piece welded on into twin..he reused the flanges at the other end..$150, sounds alright, doesnt crackle or pop, havnt really heard it from outside yet, still sounds nice though

Spoke to another exhaust shop today and he told me 150, the other guy obviously didn't want to do it. Should be getting it done on friday, so I will let you guys know how it sounds

Well I finally got around to doing the exhaust, had a few busy weekends!

And the end result is awesome, definitely not to loud!

Idle is quiet, you can somewhat hear that it isnt the standard sound.

When you accelerate a little at cruising speed you can hear a nice sharp note.

To me it sounds like a quieter version of a skyline.

What I ended up going for was just the 3" straight pipe that goes to one side of the muffler then there is a join that bends a little into the other side of the muffler.

If you would like some pictures let me know and ill post.

Over all it is the best $150 spent! Sounds great
