Hi Fellas!

I just wondered if anyone had any suggestions on what kind of exhaust I should put on my v8 from the cats back?? and where I could possibly go to get it done in qld?

I want a v8 sound (if its v8 it should sound like one!!!) and for the car to able to breath well but not lose to much back pressure...

thanks

There are lots of posts about this, but basically go 2&1/4 inch from the cats to two high flow mufflers at the rear of the car.

It will be loud..

If you want less noise, add an X-pipe.. Still too loud, add more mufflers.

I got mine done at Toy's mufflers in Redcliffe. Lew does them too, he is near the Gold Coast.

4 /10 Ereton Drive
Labrador 4215

If you want it to flow better, grab some extractors too..

If you haven't yet, do the BFI too. :-)

If you are going for the cannon style mufflers, make sure you get a quality brand, I have heard a few V8 soarers with cheap mufflers put on and the car sounds tinny. Buy a quality muffler and you will have nice deep note.

Titanium is the way to go, if you have the cash.

thanks fella's!!

think I might see if Lew can book me in sometime or try Toy's mufflers like you suggested Tai.

My car has a K&N pod on it so I just boxed it in to help prevent warm air from getting sucked in. Been thinking about getting a bit of flexi-pipe and scooping the air from down near the road up to the pod....

On my soarer, I did a 2.25" Cat back system straight to Lukey mufflers.

Here is a You Tube video of how it sounded a few hours after being done. I was quite happy with the system, was about $800.

Are headers the same as what we Aussies call extractors??!!

Exactly. Sure its about 3/4 of a grand... But well worth it, these 1UZ-FEs deserve to be given the full treatment! :-)

By the way, what headers are made to fit the celsior? Can Neil's Rush Headers fit?

Mmm I didn't think they did. There are actually a few local headers for sale in NZ which are probably small enough to fit, but mostly 4<1 types, and Id prefer 4<2<1's...

Still, I could look at having them custom fabricated if it was necessary. May cost extra - But if it works, may have to go for it. :-)

Don't spend too many bucks for little return old chap.

I know it's nice to have the car running as perfectly as possible...........BUT, you have to draw the line some where.

Otherwise, you could continue add infernitum for no, or little result.
