Hey y'all

does anyone currently have a set of varex mufflers on a H6 3.0? im looking at getting them done on mine and am wonderin what it sounds like open and closed? is there any loss of power when they are closed compared to stock?

if anyone does have them, id be interested in what id expect to pay... cat back...

Don't think anyone here has used them. AFAIK they're considered illegal in NSW (regardless of whether they meet noise regs when wide open). Don't know about other states

Hadn't seen these before (just googled them) I really like the idea too. Pity about legality but wonder how many cops would be savvy enough to know.

I'm dubious on what grounds they can be deemed illegal even if they did (which they wouldnt) meet noise regs fully open. There is plenty of factory fitted variable exhuasts around

ROFL.. most performance parts makers/sellers have that listed. :lol:

i can tell you now.. the H6 is loud with a full system.
i believe blavens is very load as well. :)
personally i am going to the turbo route, so 3" inlet and twin outs.

yeh, i have a single 2.5" varex muffler on my car... it sounds almost the same with it closed, but it takes all the bass out of the exhaust noise so it becomes very wheezy... when it's open it's very loud, but my car has extractors, 2 inline cats, a resonator and a varex muffler, 2.5 inch all the way through...

it's pretty damn loud, but sounds like sex!

this is it inside the car with the windows down and the varex open:

Is it just me... or were you going beyond the redline?!?!! Oh wait... you have an EZ30 shoehorned into a 2.5 yes? Different redline?

yes... redline on the ej22 gen2 was 6000... cutout was at 6200

redline for the ez30r is 7000, hard cut is at 7200... stock motor redlines at 7500...
