Hi all. I'm pretty inexperienced with all thIs stuff to be honest so I'm just after people's advice. I have a '04 BA XR8 and everything is standard except for the air filter. I want to get a decent note from the exhaust without going and changing cams etc. What is the best and/or cheapest way to do it? Do I get a whole new system or can I just change headers/extractors etc. again I'm very inexperienced so any advice is great

pacemaker competition extractors
hi-flow cats youll love the power gains/throttle response along with the gruntier sound |

It's far from the cheapest but IMO The Di Filippo Big boys system complete with cats and headers is both the best sounding and peforming combo.
If your on a budget then paccies, with some highflow cats and a custom twin system will do the trick

OK....
I have Hi-tech Headers on mine (au2 Fairmont V8) with a single 2 1/2 inch exhaust (Redback cat back system)....i liked the tone i was getting but there wasn't the 'definition' in the growl of the exhaust note that i wanted.....so i stuffed around with a couple of resonator sizes (Rear Muffler) till i found that an eight inch resonator did the job i was after.....kept the tone deep, gave me a bit of volume but under throttle gave me a nice growl that said 'im a v8' with out screaming 'look at me'!!! Reckon you could budget about 2k-3k and come away with a very nice sounding vehicle....you may be able to do it cheaper. Yes, i agree with the others in that Headers (pacemakers are good) and for you a dual cat back system are a must.....mabye check out other members cars and see what you like......I kinda like Hooker mufflers and may well fit one in the coming weeks.... Anyway...heres a clip of my car at idle and under throttle to give you an idea of the tone i liked....your taste may differ, but at least it's a start. You will need speakers with decent bass for the clip to get the full effect. Cheers and good luck. {DESCRIPTION} |

Mate thanks for the compliment......reckon people like exhaust notes either deep or choppy.....a small res sure helps with the choppy sound, a big res will deepen the sound, but you loose alot of the definition.... I reckon theres room for improvement with a Hooker Aerochamber.......Still given it's only a single 2 1/2 inch pipe.....im pretty happy with the end result. Cheers |

Are highflow cats really that important? I've heard murmers that the cats don't really restrict anything, any truth to that?
