Hey guys
I bought my XR6 ute with a modified exhaust which is way to loud, I am sick of it and it is also coming up to rego time and I know it will fail (it has before and only have a dodgy shop to thank for passing it). I had a quick look under the car today to see what my options were for quitening her down and I couldn't quite work out what the previous owner has done to it. So I am just wondering what the Standard exhaust consists of, how many mufflers, silencers etc?? And if anyone could suggest some options for a quite system that would be pretty handy, by the looks of things it might have to be a system that goes from the extractors back. Thanks for any help.

If the exhaust is of decent quality & condition, there's no need to change it all. You should be able to get a decent resonator spliced in the rear (I'm guessing it has no rear res as you've mentioned it's quite loud).
This should not be particularly costly to do. |
