Default Got my exhaust!

Hi guys, I don't know if I'm even allowed to make stupid posts like this but anyway... I GOT MY EXHAUST! Redback catback 2.5" 1 muffler. Sounds bloody tuff! I'll post a sound clip when I can be stuffed. So far it's stock except for the zorst and an XH snorkel. What do you guys think my next mod should be?

Go the extractors next, I found I lost a fair bit of the burble when slowing down but the performance gain is pretty good. The sound with the extractors is pretty good still.
After the extractors go a cam, thermo fans and if your accelrator cable is stretched then get a new one of those.

Good work mate. Enjoy the sound!

I'm keen to hear some clips if you can get them up, i'm looking at getting the same system soon and want to know if there's any drone or if it'll become annoying after a while.

Upload them to photobucket. Just select video first then go to browse.

Yes very happy I like how it growls when I'm accelerating, and growls when I'm decelerating. If I'm at speed just crusin' with my foot slightly on the pedal it doesn't make a sound. Brilliant. *Passes cop, back's off, no noise *

Thats good stuff man, wait till you get a CAM, will sound even better

Get a metal 3" pipe off the throttle body and a pod-filter, you'l get some nice induction noise too, and will get even louder with the CAM in there

I'll go against the crowd here, I really really disliked the sound after i installed Pacemaker Headders. Most people who have heard my car would agree that it sounds highpitched/tinny.

Na I can see where your coming from. Mine proberly sounded a bit better just catback but I'm still happy with the extractors. Its a bit deeper and a more racey sound.
What extractors do you have?

I actually thought yours was one of the better sounding I6s I've heard.

I agree with you there! Every car I have been in before and after Pacemakers sounded worse, but certainly went better!

i would say convert it to mp3 or some kind of compressed file make it 256 bitrate then it should be easier to upload and not as big (easier on the dialup, if they'd even try, and 256k bband guys)
