I'm assuming it's a V6? Gut the cats (this is illegal) out and put headers on it if you want it to be louder and still look legal

a straight pipe will be sooooo droney and give you a head ache. The only way you'll get your V6 to sound "nice" is to give it a cam, head work, intake and chip it. Just use a catback exhaust if you really want an exhaust system and save your money for other things.

The only way you will get a Holden V6 to sound nice is convert it to V8 Quote: Originally Posted by vycruiser [View Post] gut the cats? ye wont fire come out ye its a v6 mate lol na not puttin the stock exhaust bak on that will make it worse srs anwsers please ye I am being SRS... ye-ha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

^^^ listen to this guy. instead of spending more money on your exhaust, save up that money towards getting a V8

Attempt to see how many mufflers you can add in to the system. 6 per side or so should be a great improvement on sound, and intellect
