Aftermarket exhaust swap with OEM

[jay.ritchie]

Is anyone around melbourne interested in swapping their OEM exhaust for my aftermarket system?
I bought the car with it already installed and i want the car to be kept stock standard.
It sounds really good, has a deep tone until 3k and then opens up for a nice growl.

I have an 05 3rb wagon if that makes any difference..

I have one on my sedan but it has a small section missing at the back (almost what you would call a chip at the bottom) I think this is caused from heat? Sedan and Wagon use the same exhaust right?

yep, same exhaust. you might be a better option for jay, thats if you are wanting to change your exhaust jakey

I’ve heard the wagons exhaust may be a little longer than the sedans? not sure if thats legit though.
Is the chip on the tip or the rear muffler?

[SH30RB]

the exhaust length for sedan and wagon is the same, the tip on the muffler is a tad longer on the wagon, thats the only difference. it doesnt look too bad, to be honest.
ive got an xforce sedan system on my wagon

[jay.ritchie]

ahh great. that makes this a lot easier then! ill probably change the tips on the stock system anyway.

[SH30RB]

the tips on the stock system seem to be held on by a screw from the bottom, but thats just from vague memore.
which, if so, you could always fine twin tips that fit and get them put on

[jay.ritchie]

sweet! now i need someone to swap with me

[jakey]

Do you have any info about your current one?

I would potentially be interested after a listen pending you're not too fussy about the burned out bit

[jay.ritchie]

nah i actually have no idea what it is. pretty sure its from the cat though.
heres a vid- although iPhones don’t get any bass.

is the burnt out bit on the muffler or the tip?

[jakey]

Ohh that's not really the note I was aiming for...

And yeah it is right on the tip at the bottom...sort of strange really..

But yeah I wouldn't settle for that note I know why you are trying to swap

Have you considered simply swapping mufflers to the factory ones. If the noise is the issue, putting back the factory mufflers might be a goer. I may be able to get my hands on a set for a wagon.

[jay.ritchie]

It sounds good, I’m swapping it because i want the car back to stock. i drove a fully modded xr6 for 2 years and got sick of being the typical ‘p plater’.

I didn’t think about swapping the mufflers, although i can imagine buying a set of mufflers would be pricey! $$$
