this exhaust system i looked at also it will give a bit extra performance if it's a 2.1/2" cat back about3-5kw or so but won't be very loud as it's legal.
for an installed system like that exhaust places charge about $400 or so you will need to ring around.
hey can i ask are you after extra performance or noise? |

yeah that will work pretty good.
if you want sound you can just chop out the rear muffler or get the one off ebay which will give a bit more performance but not a great sound it's more of a drone which can be anoying.
see if you can find someone who's got what your looking for and see if you want it.
it all depends weather you want to do with it. |

i don't know if your car had IRS being a VP they were the first so you will have to find that out.
I don't know the difference in the exhaust systems it's probably where it goes over the rear axel or something but whichever your car has got IRS or not you need to get the exhaust that states which models it fits.
you wouldn't want to buy a non refundable product (products on ebay) to come home and find out it doesn't fit if you know what i mean. |

hey mate i just had my exhaust done today.
they chopped out the rear muffler and ran more piping
straight out the back via my twin 3" dump tip.
i gotta tell ya it sounds good I'm really happy with it
I'd recommend you give it a try and see how you like it
before you spend the money up to you it was only $50 |

| sounds like a sweet deal mate i already have 2 1/2 system on which i didn't realize until i looked at it this arvo so not sure which way to go now but will have to think about it because the setup i was looking at on ebay is exactly the same as i have got so no point buying the same thing in re irs from what i can gather my vp has live axle not indepent rear suspension so hmmmmm not to sure what's the best approach |

i was real surprised when when the guy at the exhaust place said the standard system on my car is 2.1/4" like what is the point in buying an extra half in.
if you've already got one that's good but i don't see the point in buying one.
i think you wouldn't have IRS unless you have a Calais it was an option i rekon.
look it up. |

| get a mirometer to mesure it if it's bugging you but it doesn't really matter i think just find a tip you want and chop out the muffler and it will sound great. |

| I agree with trizo! If you want something to sound good spend the money. Compare a $100 head unit and amp to a $1000 car stereo and you will get my drift. If you want power and sound, you have to spend the money |

IRS exhausts run under the diff centre, live axle runs over.
go a 2 and a half staright though with high flow cat and no resinator in the rear just straight pipe then a tip,this set up is not overly loud and sounds quite nice. if you want more noise and a bit more power go some extractors, pacemakers.
but if going extractors an aftermarket cat is a must. high flow. even a metal cat. i destroyed 2 ceramic high flows before goin to metal cat due to the gases just smashing the insides out off the cat because it is so free flowing. |

| A decent high flow cat will set you back a couple of hundred white vg. Mine is a 2.5 inch straight through, high flow cat, and pacemaker extractors. Sounds very fat! Anything else seems to make a 6 sound like farts on wheels lol |

hey white VG,
its a magnaflow 2 1/2 metal cat. it set me back $380 im pretty sure, my AUScar Pacemakers were expensive seeing as the bigger primaries and heat wrapping. sound evil as though :D
As VN91SX said, you will need to spend the money though. |

Because the 2 1/4" is the restriction. 2 1/2" isn't. It doesn't really matter anyway, if you've got a set of tuned extractors, anything after that doesn't matter AS LONG AS it's not being restricted. |
