Hi All,
I thought I would share some photo's of the new exhaust system I had fitted today. I had a set of Wildcat extractors fitted with a custom 2 1/4 inch sports systems fitted. So far so good with the upgrade. The difference with regards to normal city driving is negligible, although it does seem to accelerate a bit smoother. Im hoping the difference will show more when getting down and dirty in low range.
The Wildcat extractors are not fully mandrel-bent, but they are the only off-the-shelf ones I found available for the 3.4 V6. The muffler is a straight-through one... it is a little louder than standard, but gives a nice rumble at low revs and under load (very happy with the sound). The good thing is, at cruising speed there is very little noise. For those wondering, I have not noticed any difference to the engine vibration experienced between 2500 & 3000 rpm. Only time will tell what it does for the fuel economy.
All up the cost was $1200 ($850 for the extractors & $350 for the exhaust). The whole thing was fitted at Mettam's Mufflers in Belmont (WA). Once the extractors came in from QLD, they had it fitted approx 4 hrs. They even put a nice little stainless steel tip on the end. Very happy with the service.
