Running a complete stock setup with the car's exhaust, and wanted to make that engine sound a little nicer...Im not exactly looking to make power gains and spend heaps, but mostly to give it a nice note when giving it a squirt and not loud when driving normally (60-70Kph)

Is just changing the mufflers gonna achieve this? any changes to exhaust note/power/etc?

Looking at Ultrex single or twin tip SS mufflers.

I know what you mean, stock is pathetic sounding!
I dont have much experience with the 3.0 but anything helps I guess.

My stock catback didnt look that restictive actually, Im pretty sure just chaning the mufflers to a straight through design will be enough for what you want... Shop around for the mufflers though, IMO anything more then $500 for bolt on mufflers is a rip off. My catback cost me $500 delivered.

hit up Best Mufflers @ Sydney, get a XForce center and y pipe sent to you, make it to some TCP quads and you will love the sound!

What benefit does adding a centre and y pipe add to the car? Sound/power wise?

Just mufflers with give you some noise when you accelerate hard but still remain very quiet on idle and start up

sounds like im just after mufflers. gotta go find me some quads now on the cheap!

TCP's are $600 on sale. Won't find better value IMO

Ultrex offered a set of single canons for 250, ss. Their quads are apparently coming back in stock this week so I might wait it out...

ended up with the ultrex mufflers:

That sounds awesome! Good choice!

What do you think about it? What you wanted?

thanks man!

yeah exactly what i wanted, nothing too loud but loud enough to do the engine some justice!

dont think ill bother with the y + center pipe.

How much did these muffs set you back??

this batch had a slight defect - they need a very minor tweak to install ( i think a 10mm bend or something), so rob at ultrex is selling them for cheap - $260 a set, usually go for 400+

I got mine installed and tweaked for $60, only took 30 minutes.

if your interest i advise you jump on them asap!

Hi mate

Bought a set as well after reading your post. Have you noticed an smell from the mufflers after the first few drives?

yeah, that lasted for a week or two. that pretty normal for it to smell straight after an install apparently.

hope your liking the sound!
