Is it just me OR does the V6 sound amazing when you floor her.
I only have the 2.5 but at the cost of a gallon of fuel she beats just about everyone away from the lights...and wow...what a great, great noise.
-
Better when you put a twin pipe rear box on from a 3.0 and a panel filter.
but then wy stop there, the irmscher backbox is even better :)
-
remus backbox is better ;)
-
No backbox....straight through twin pipes :y :y
;D ;D ;D
-
Have you ever started it up with just the down pipes? That IS impressive. :y :y :y :y
-
Totally agree Andy, not THATS a roar! :y
-
It would have been rude not to start it up with no exhaust when I was replacing it. :y
-
remus backbox and remove your middle box,unreal...

Yep! Mine sounded just like that!!! :y :y

Bloody hell thats sounds brillant 8-)
-
IF I can find a twin back box, is it simply a case of swapping it over with the existing single pipe exit one.

Then again, I drove my Westfield from Aviemore to Alton with no packing in the exhaust back in September. The novelty wore off by about Kingussie. Glad we had ear defenders.

whats the legal point of view if i were to remove the back box altogether?i would still have the two cats and two middle boxes and i was thinking of,as mentioned earlier, just two polished straight pipes instead of the backbox.anyone done this before?what about back pressure etc?thanks
-
been done before and as long as it isnt too loud and she still passes the MOT/emissions then your flying.....
you guys get it easy with your "MOT's"
-
I was thinking of getting rid of the backbox on my 3.0 elite & having through pipes instead. wonder how it would sound with a pair of cherry bombs on the back? :-?
-
on my old monza i used 2 ansa oval tail ends i was given instead of the backbox, just welded them together & made up the 2 pipes to the system, it sounded awsome, :y out of interest does anybody know the O,D of the miggy backbox pipe on a T,D?

will a 3litre back box fit on a 2.5 as the hangers are different
or do you have to modify the hangers
2.5 v6

cherry bombs on omega? clearly not my cup of tea but what ever floats your boat.
Irmscher rear twin box and middle silencer taken out, now that sounds impressive combined with a panel filter, as induction filters dont like my omega for some reason, me think it will probably sucking too much heat in from the engine bay.

I have been running a remus twin piped back box on my 2.5 fro about a year with standard gm exhaust mid and front pipes..on tick over just a low warble,but when floored it sounds like the clips attached..pretty amazing for a family saloon.(well not really,family).but thats what I tell them.

how much are they to buy
-
Where can one get straight-through pipes to replace the mid silencers? Do they have to be custom made? Any recommendations or ideas of price? The baffles have gone in mine so will need replacements sooner or later.
-
Not sre if they are still available new..bought mine off fleabay,guy had it in his garage and never fitted it..I paid £125=00,but I am a tough negotiator..he wanted £150=00,which for the sound alone was actually worth it.
-
i just had a look on flebay and not seen one for omega
-
Did a search and found a link to remus uk.
Remus Exhausts_RemusUK.com......part number is 627094 0548 and the price for either the 2.5 or 3.0 is £385=25 inc vat..so lots of ££££,s but sweet sound and all chrome.

i can get a complete stainless steel system for that price :y
-
Told you they were pricey...think a stainless full system would be better anyway,as the Remus mod is only the tail pipes and rear box.

BUMP

I'd be surprised if a standard twin pipe back box sounded any different - thought that was just cosmetic.
-
my mig used to have a Irmscher rear twin box on it , but it fell off the previous owner had a standard twin pipe rear box put on and extended tailpipes , sounds sweet as is
