Why do you want a loud exhaust when you got a sound system to pump? I would suggest speaking to Aussie Car Enhancements or similiar, they can advise you. Maybe replace mufflers with hot dogs or something.......

Disconnect it after the cats....
Seriously though, replace the standard mufflers would be the easiest way. If you want power as well, save your bikkies and go a proper system, is the only way.

set up a microphone on your tailpipe and run the sound out of the mobile disco-tech you've got going there.

Save your money and get an exhaust down the track.

Ultimate.I agree with some other comments, look at changing the mufflers or even remove the final one after the diff and replace it with straight pipe (I haven't looked under a BA lately, do they have mufflers there. Some places also sell premade sports exhausts that don't take much to fit. In some cases they would be cheaper than getting a one-off system bent up.

Wills Wheels. In adelaide you have a couple of good ones. Places like exhaust techniques and technology and D&T are all good, but a little on the pricey side. I have Found AAA Exhausts at richmond to be helpful and will be going there soon. Plus they are one of a few people in adelaide who can mandrel bend 3" on site.
