i think a 2.5inch lukey with 2 mufflers has a really good note. It doesnt drone at all but still sounds good.

hey

Ive got a custom made 2'5inch from the cat back with no exhaust LOL VERY LOUD but i had a tuffy sports muffler on there wasnt loud enough so i got them to take it off......... but it was alright im gonna get it put back on

So if you have Tuffy mufflers near by id sugguest them, they are good and helpful cost me 280 all up

Good point but i got mine from a AU falcon that had it before they outsourced. And hey...what wrong with driving a 16 second i6 family car??? Jap cars are family cars toooo,just not for australians because japs are smaller than us. And they are infact slower stock.


Hey my fully worked 180SX is faster then your stock falcon....

what do u base that on?

Lol. Nothing wrong with owning a falcon mate. I just don't get teh stupidly loud exhaust thing (mind you i don't get it on slow ricers either). It's all good if it looks awesome and has a bit of balls, but drawing attention to a mostly stock car is a bit gay IMO.
Generally the only jap cars that are slower than falcons/commos stock are NA 4cyls, which isn't even a challenge lol. That said, a stock non vtec 1.8L integra gsi will maul any stock auto falcon/commo 6 :p.
Jap family cars and aussie family cars can't even be compared most of the time! often you are comparing different capacities, forced induction vs NA, massive weight differences etc... which is why it's never worth dragging off a turbo import in a stocko falcon 6 :p, that's what commodores are for!

good to see you want with the redback - and pro exhausts - should have just gone with thm in the first place since they are a couple streets over!! well good stuff anyway!!

Also soulfire - so true or so true!! lol

To be honest, the only reason i got the EF was because at the time they were selling for 4k and more, i got it for $1800, and it was a far better car then the VK i was going to have. Yes i have had a VK but i went the Falcon because of the ASB, Airbags, stronger and better for safety, and i would have to do less work to it.

I think you have hit the nail on the head when it comes to jap cars vs. aussie cars. Sure they can be quicker but those cars have so much spent on them its not funny.

Every day people at school tell me 'get a commodore....they are faster' or i hear 'get a 4cylinder turbo and spend 20g on it'. But when it comes to home time they will be infront of me at the intersection but 100m down the road to the next ill be the one infront.

I really dont get the noisy exhaust thing too but it sounds good. For modding you have to start somewhere. In my case i said exhaust because if i do anything to the motor before the exhaust then things will start bottle necking.

I have plans of doing the full exhaust (extractors and high flow cat), Bigger and better air intake, nice big cam with new valve springs and possibly get into things like modding the ECU, and finally stronger tail shaft and LSD.

I guess in the end its your car and you do what you want to it. If we were all the same then there would not be things like the good old holden vs. ford and the imports against the aussies and american mussle.

Has anyone ever considered a Berklee system, They have been around for over 40 years ...are an Aust company and make great gear better than the cheap crap lukey imho

Ash

there are few berklee fitted cars floating around.

most go for the redback/lukey because there cheap and easy to get a hold of.

Lol to everyone...I paid $300 installed at Professional Exhaust in Airport West.

I agree that having a loud a*** exhaust is pointless on a falcon(or any other car) thats just been lowered and some decent wheels.....

Too much attention can be a bad thing, eespecially if the wrong people notice ya.....

So what type did u end up getting?

Redback single muffler, no resi....and its goin to stay like that for a while, as I just spent $2200 tonight on sound.....and still more to come.

I think Ill spend more towards end of year on performance, to something that can drag the heavy a*** around.
