Just a query on the size, and details of the exhaust size of the xy gt and ho exhausts, i read they they were all initally recalled because they were too loud? reason is , im trying to decide if the gt exhaust will suit my ute (yes another bloody fako xy gt ute) and im only 17 years old and silly so i want it to be loud. any suggestions guys?
thanks for your help

Check the discussion pages at www.falcongtclub.org someone will know the part number.

The standard GT exhaust isnt "loud" though, its more of a deep rumble, no crackle at all. So not sure if thats what your after. It only actually gets a note to it at about 4000rpm plus

A twin 2 1/2 system should just about do it.

Try to get the pipes in stainless makes any engine sound better than with mild steel.

twin 2 and 1/2, stainless, sounds allright to me.
is that mandrell bent?
a stainless steel mandrell bent system w\ new extractors would be the go, ive heard pacemakers are pretty popular?
any rough pricing on the above? (the complete system), i know it will be expencive, but i might as well do it right.
thanks for your help guys, it is really appreciated

H&M headers are the ONLY way to go unless you have custom made pipes
as they still make the PH3 type
Duel 2 1/2" for the factory look or 3" single for more GO
Nice note & lots of GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
