hi guys, i just past my P's, so know i can start doing up my VL berlina, i was wondering if any of you guys could tell me where a good place to go to in Hobart area for a good exhaust system is, and what to ask for, as im not very sure about exhausts. i want it to be fairly throaty, so any help would be much appreciated, also if any of you guys have had one done, how much did it cost you? thanks

if u want throaty get a cannon and be a ricer, if u want some extra power i heard 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust with extractors (if not turbo) and gutted cat? i think thats about 700 depending on second hand or new.

yeah mate go a 2.5" exhaust with extractors. Or save for a turbo conversion if you're gonna eventually do it you may as well not spend money on the NA and put it towards the turbz. Try Tas Suspension & Exhaust in Lampton Ave Dwnt Pk, (62724155) they'll do you a good deal.

thanks guys, i will eventually get the turbo, its just that the standard exhaust on it is rooted and i wanted to sound a bit better than it does for the time until i get a turbo fitted up. thanks

dont gut the cat, just leave it or go hi -flow cat, no1 understands this is no good and creates a massive amount of turbulance in the system. if you doubt my theory get onto google n research fluid mechanics, it is a similar principal to exhasts. my friend got a mandrel bent 2.5 inch pipe off ebay for $300 or so i think. if you want throaty just run one strait-thru muffler and no resonator. it will be plenty loud enough. just look round u will find something. hope ive helped
