Hey guys, as some of you know we're in the process of manufacturing some VLT intercooler kits that keep aircon, no need to cut the bar reinforcement, no need to cut any holes, all mandrel bent with 0 (ZERO) weld marks and all the rest.
I'm just curious to see what size exhausts people are running, and also are you using aftermarket dump pipes or standard units?
Costs, pictures etc. etc. would be great

greg - ill be making my own 3.5" turbo dump pipe with 3" high flow cat and custom 3" mandrel bend exhaust with a turbo muffler and a small one out the back to keep things quiet
at the moment im running a full 2.5" turbo back mandrel bent exhaust with a hotdog and a resonator
Currently got 3 Inch all way through from Previous owner of my car going back normal factory size for VL Turbo as im entering my car in HDT car shows etc, gotta look more respectable when you enter those types of car shows.
3inch flange from turbo, dump pipe, 3inch cat, no mufflers all mandrel bent - not as loud as you'd think. The dump pipe cost $150 and the welds are beautiful. The rest was from some bloke on these forums for $300.
3" is what I was thinking. (I'm used to dealing with Jap cars and we all use 3").
What sorts of price are people paying for a 3" turbo back system that's mandrel bent?

varys where u go.... in geelong i got a couple of quotes
exhaust bros - $1000
south geelong exhausts - $1100
town n country exhausts - $1000
i think the preferred place would be exhaust bros.. only because if you want to go top-mount as well, they will infact make the manifolds and dump pipe to suit
i know ill spend roughly $400 on bends, $300 on mufflers and $200 on a high flow cat
hence u can see why theyre so much
im running 3 inch dump into 3 inch exhaust, 'ultra flowed' cat and the exhaust dumping before the diff.... is rather loud
