Exhaust For My EL

[crannersEL]

I know this is probibly a repost and has been posted heaps before but im putting this one up for some new, quick advice.

Within the next fortnight ill be getting my exhaust fitted. Ive asked a few people and they recermend the Pacemaker extractors and the Red back 2.5.
I dont know too much about the exhaust systems, so this is where you guys come in.

Ill be getting it fitted by Exhaust Fit in croydon (melbourne) so i want to know what to ask for.

Any input and recermendations would help :

Thanks Guys

Paul

;) y0p

[Rowy,xr6]

My lukey exhaust sounded good even before i put on extractors, go the Lukey, the hole cat to back was under $300 at repco

[the lane]

I got pacemaker extactors,hi flow cat into 2.5in manta system to a stainless steel tip done.After a week had to add a resonator to the system as it was too loud and droning,but sounds tops now.

Whatever Walkydan has is what everyone should have.

[crannersEL]

I'll head down Coolstore road tomorrow arvo and see what the exhaust places think and also get some prices. Ill hopefully get back to yous with prices and setups tomorrow night

[crannersEL]

Got the quote today, Im looking at $850 for the following installed

*Pacemaker extractors
*Redback 2.5 cat Back
*4inch Dumpy

What you guys think of the price and the setup??

Paul

[EFFalcon]

what model pacies are they?
comps or standard?

[crannersEL]

Standards, he didnt mention anything about Comps. I had wardy with me and he didnt mention it either.

[EFFalcon]

get a few more quotes just to be sure.

[-jjM-]

sounds like an ace set up, no turbo muffler :S

[crannersEL]

The guy said that the straight through 2.5 is enough? :

I did mention the turbo muffler but he didnt recermend it, what his fitting is the above.

[slamd ef wagon]

was 800 including a hi flow cat?? and was the exhaust mandral bent if those wornt included the price is a bit steep i think

[crannersEL]

Got another quote tonight, $1550 including
*Pacemaker Extractors (new chrome ones)
*Hi flow Cat
*New Cat
* Redback 2.5 inch Cat Back
*Labour inc instalation

This bloke said the quote i got for $850 would be incorrect as its way to cheap for the goods.

Paul

[micksta]

jus wondering...

u have:
*Hi flow cat
*New cat

other then that ... sounds like a good price.
if im slightly correct ..
500+ extractos
300~ cat
250~ cat back zorst
500~ labour.

not to mention it's going to be Loud. so i hope u like loud cars

[crannersEL]

ive been quoted $850 for extractors and cat back exhaust fully fitted

[micksta]

is that for the competition extractors or normal extractors? .. if u want power .. go for the comps. if u jus want them .. get the normal ones.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ :dj:

[Vision Zetec]

yer no need for comps unless you are after a REALLY high powered engine and have money to spend!

same goes to the cat, i have heard PLENTY of times that the falcon cats are good enough for mild engine mods

go with the $850 price at exhaust fix mate!

also another question for you guys (kinda personal taste)
should he get the rear muffler (resonator) removed for that extra noise!??

i have and have never looked back since

cheers

[Walkinshaw]

Pacy Comps $480 (inc fitting)
Redback 2.5" Cat $90
Redback 2.5" catback $280

Done.

whoa thats cheap. Is that all one should pay for a hi flow cat?

James

[micksta]

i'd go resonaterless. but if he wants it mildy legal .. a straight through muffler is alright.

Its far from retail price!!

[Streeter]

hey guys what would you all recomend to put on a 5litre after some serious power i got queted 900 through a mate for pacemaker comps 2 hi flow cats and twin pipes with a ressi in each pipe and also a muffler in each to the rear but i am worried that it will drone like all F@#K so what do you all recon or do you think that the dephillipo is worth a look

[stiddy]

man that Pacemaker set up is cheap and chips..
xr8ute on here got pacmaker headers and cats ONLY for 1200...

if i was you i'd jump at the deal, plus paccies are rated one of the best..
not sure if it would done or not, would depend on pipe diameter i'd imagine..

[crannersEL]

Im after a little bit more performance and a noise. Do the Extractors help with fuel economy as well? At the end of the day i think its $850 well spent.

[Vision Zetec]

lol i love answering this question!

the result of the extractors + exhaust WILL help with fuel economy but the problem is that the margain gained with the immproved breathing is counted by the slight tendancy to accelerate harder because of the beautiful noise!!!

[Stevo]

EL 5.0 Rev

EL Ghia running Genie Extractors, standard cats, 2 1/2 single exhaust, Lukey Ultraflow Stainless Muffler, and rear resonator removed.
