Just take the muffler off, heat up the springs till they drop and wreck a good car )o:

Sorry, its just that you said "not really fused about the performance just the cheapest "
If you going to do it, do it properly, just don't put a big rev counter on top of the dash (o:

Why ruin what I presume is a reasonably unmolested example by fitting a droning fart cannon and lowering it! It just cries "I want attention because I get none" which quite frankly is rather sad and pathetic.

na na none of the really crappy boy racer stuff just want a real nice cruiser you know! and i dont wana cut the pipe cause that will look hori im guessing! guess you could say the cheapest best way if that makes sense! :/ but yea want it lowered a bit with some nice vy ss rims on it or vx club sport ones want a tidy looking muffler but need to know if thats gonna give me some sound!

you don't know me! take your ramblings of a "sad and pathetic attention seeker" else where just looking for some advice on my "CAR" ok! jeez dont have to be a egg

you could try replace the rear baffle muffler with a resonator and see what that does to your sound. You dont need to have a big exhaust to have a nice sound

I had a 3ltr royale for a while with a 2inch system on it from memory, sounded not bad most of the time but drony at others.

Judging by that response the pang of self-recognition must have been rather sharp even though I didn't say it was specifically you.

My point is don't ruin it with a pointless noisy exhaust just for making noise if you're 'not fussed about performance'. That is just plain attention seeking regardless of whether you agree or not.

I would agree with morrisman's resonator to replace the rear muffler suggestion though. There's nothing wrong with a little rumble as long as it's not intrusive.

cheers just looked those up on trade me look like they could be the go you reckon with that it would give me an effect like this http://www.youtube.com/watch!v=d0H0hfw85_w ! cause i know this has a resonator on it cheers

stinkydog1, Jan 7, 10:59am
you may find it attention seeking but i genuinely love the sound of a car with a bit of rumble i dont want the preformance side because i would think that would affect my gas bill!

jmma, Jan 7, 11:01am
That has got headers and its a V6, you have a straight 6, you are not going to get that sound, best to chop off rear muffler and fit something that's straight through.

ok cheers
