Cheers for your input guys, the calais already has it on there. It is a full skyline racing exhuast. it was done so when the turbo conversion went ahead we didnt have to get a new exhuast as it was already done. cheers...guys.

Something like that......not sure....its done to a mates car which i am looking at buying. the car is not going so i have to decide if i buy it....do i go the full way with turbo conversion or just stick a N/A back into it. it would come with a turbo motor and mx7 gear box....but as far as bits go i am unsure. its always good to see what other poeple who know more about VLs think....free advice is still free advice.

3" is way to big, I can imagine how drone that would make. If u want your car to sound weapon and still go good go extractors to a 2.5" cat with a pipe welded inside so its straight through and 1 lukey muffler at the end. Me and my mates did it to our vls and its pretty loud and sounds sweet as, goes slightly harder too!

True...A 2 1/2 inch exhuast with extracters does gice you a little bit more power but I am thinking long term....why waste money on a 2 1/2 inch when I can get a 3 inch. when it does get its turbo conversion a 2 1/2 would be useless compared to a 3 inch....and i would save money in the end which could be spent on other mods... anyway everyone does things differently. cheers....

because at the end of the day, chances are, when u want to turbo your car, you will probly need a new exhaust anyway. you would be stupid to get an 3 inch, but thats just my opinion... ohh and all the guys up there ^ lol
