Suggestions for exhaust system?

Postby stefan9155 » Mon Sep 28, 2009 11:03 pm

I have an MY05 2.0 Lib, and would like to buy an exhaust system for it. Most of the liberty exhausts come with two exhausts while the 2.0 only has one exhaust which is on the left side.
So could you guys suggest some exhaust systems to get, I'm willing to spend around $1000 for a whole system. ( i don't want to convert it to dual exhaust also)
I'm also located in Melb if this helps?
This muffler looks really nice, it's a xforce varex, anyone know if they'll fit on a 2.0?

Thanks :)

Whoa! I don't think we were done with your other post of the same topic yet. :D

But yeah, the Xforce should fit your Liberty. Just need a muffler shop to custom make the inlet pipe and hangers. I'd be cautious of a 2.5" or 3" muffler for your 2.0 N/A though. You could lose a lot of low end (aka - driveability).

For N/A's, try to get mufflers that have a smaller inlet pipe diameter. A few N/A members on here got the Phat mufflers with a 2.5" inlet, which is optimised for the turbo, and experienced some loss of low end. Perhaps for the 2.0 engine a 2" inlet diameter might be more suitable? You should check with your local experienced muffler shop.
