OEM exhaust mods to sound like PE

recce · 07-26-2015, 03:44 AM

Anyone in sydney has theirs done? If so, which exhaust shop did it and how much it cost. I am looking at doing it just for the sound. I dont think it will have any power gain anyway. Any suggestion? Thanks!

I have not done this but here is a link to mod thread

Pretty sure any reputable exhaust shop can do it for you for a couple of hours work. If you are handy at welding you could probably do it yourself

Anyone know anyone in Melbourne that can do this mod well?

just take it to any exhaust shop. they will cut open the top and do whatever you want and weld it back together. shouldnt be more than a few hundred dollars

My advice would be to take it to a fabrication shop, as most exhaust shops arent setup to do tig welding.

Also most exhaust shop guys arent fabricators and thus cannot tig weld correctly, whereas a fabricator who tig welds for a living with the right qualifications and experience will provide a much neater finish rather then the usual lumpy welds an exhaust shop would provide..

^ agree with dr

Looks like no one has done it here. I might ditch the idea.

naynay · 07-26-2015, 11:23 PM
