- watch me fit some pacemakers to my work sled. give yas a couple revs at the end. the pacemakers + 2.5 twin xforce sounds crap im on the hunt to how to make this exhaust sound good.

Love it man
Too many serious ppl on here as it is
Love the change 👍
Bro I love your vids ! you legend 👌
This video is exactly why my extractors have sat in my shed for over 12+ months 🤣 Plus it keeps me at bay from doing all the p player mods because I know once I start I’ll never want too go stop lol..
Good stuff mate, love the vids keep ‘em coming 👍🏽
hey thanks mate, yeah the job sucked thats for sure but the difference in power is definitely worth doin the job.
hey mate, the trumpet sound in the upper rev range normally comes as a result of your Xpipe and headers as every runner is close to equal length. this makes it sound like an R35 gtr. 👍
yeah ok i was saying to my mate that it sounds like shit but he convinced me it sounds mad and on tune. i think after i put a massive camshaft in it ill enjoy it more
@@joeycool5810 yeah trumpet is better than the alternative sounds
No cross over and h-pipe on L67 both sound like tractors similar to that of an early VE with cheap muffler deletes
@ES IST TIGER AUTO yeah I couldn't agree more. I'll look into getting a crossover
I find the best combo for the exhaust for sound AND power is running a twin 2.25" Xforce with a stock LS1 twin/HSV twin rear muffler, tried going full stock SS twin catback and running the Xforce with the rear LS1 definitely noticed a power increase over stock and sounds loud enough but not annoying and with the pacemakers should sound OK all up.
yeah ok ill look into that
The drivers side on my old VN was a nightmare. The passenger side took me half an hour, and the driver side took me the rest of the day. Couldn’t get the flange past the steering, on the new headers, so had to undo it, and from memory had to loosen the engine mount, and slightly jack up the engine. I’m looking to do the SS 6Litre, and I’m happy to pay the $120 per hour down at the local mechanic 👨🔧 I’m gunna stay at home, drink Beer and pick it up the next day.
haha too true
Want it to sound good and completely different to every other VY VZ. Get yourself a Single Cat Y Pipe from a VT VX, have the boys down at the exhaust shop cut and weld some flanges on to that to suit the pacemakers, then run a single system from cat back. 1 hotdog in the middle just after the cat and at the end have a redback/lukey muffler.
Imo with the twin system there is just way to much exit flow.
Not a bad idea
@@joeycool5810 czcams.com/users/shortsceaeg31FCho?feature=share my setup on a n/a
the elusive 13mm.....i swear there was a rip in space & time that created a portal to another dimension in my shed and that's where all my 13mm's disappeared
they certainly know how to fly off
DEA twin 2.5 inch monaro exhaust on pacemakers is the way I went. Nice sound minimum drone
Yeah sweet ill have to do something at some point this sounds like a strangled cat
Just about to install pacemakers on my l36, has a clubsport tip exhaust that flows straight from the headers, no catalytic converter just the resonator at the back by the tip sounds like a v8
I personally wouldn’t run twin tips on a 6 cyl as you really don’t need it, one single tip straight through with no cat sounds dope, sounds lumpy enough and that’s without a cam installed
I'll probably end up replacing the whole thing again at some point to a single straight through. Send us a video man
in the v8 model you have fire wood in the way wires and fuse boxes
How did you manage to get the back bottom bolt off on the drivers side extractor
hey man i do alot of work with spanners hey. more feel on the bolt stress.
Centre mufflers straight rear? Really needs resonators. If doesn't have rear twin in/out resonator/muffler I'd be adding one. If already does add some 12" perforated between the cats and centres.
so its just cat deletes then the xforce mufflers and the are the straight through type, then at the rear there is two hotdogs right before the end
@@joeycool5810 ahh yep already got a couple resonators ( hotdogs) . Resonators do a lot more when there's pipe behind them compared to at the end.
It's why most OEM companies run them in the centre. I'd either weld a dual in/out VF factory resonator before the centre mufflers.
Or add some 12-15" resonators where the cats usually go.
Stainless steel always has a lot more resonance then mild steel it's why I prefer mild steel.
I added 2 9" hotdogs (only had 9's and 15's cbfed making pie cuts on my back to fit the 15's. ) On my Mrs alloytec. I used to refuse to take it over 3k after fitting headers and hi flow cats. (alloytec have factory post cat resonators that are removed in the aftermarket cat pipes.) It's a little cringey now but a bit better so you can definitely improve on it.
Resonance and drone is best removed by adding more resonators. My exes l67 I built her had the centre mufflers and a chamber muffler. I welded it in on the rear pipes with stock cats and mild steel. Had a very unique sound , very deep and growly.
I've not started building my exhaust yet for my vs ute. I'll be running nothing but resonators. 1x 20" stainless xforce dual in/out resonator , then 2x 15" louvred mild steel hotdogs.
I hate stainless and I I've only run it on Jap cars as off the shelf systems of there's are all stainless. Will be interesting to see if I can make it sound decent.
Single 3" systems are $750 for a catback so I ordered a heap of Chinese stainless bends at $8 EA vs $30-40 in Aus. So figure I'll give it a crack and see what it's like.
@@hayden6056 yeah ok thats a good idea, i might put some where the cats used to be because this exhaust is terrible.
@@joeycool5810 dude I can completely understand. I literally hated driving her car (is only running car at the stable at the moment as sold my Hyundai to build a new motor. )
I was lugging jackets around and wearing jeans over Christmas/new years . Riding bikes around to avoid hearing her exhaust while someone else needed the welder. I don't think I took it over 2500 rpm for a couple thousand KMs. 😂😂
So did you dyno with the new exhaust. Would love to see the power difference
See how we go tonight
Hahaha love it & unfortunately that’s just the 3.8s for you bro no matter what exhaust you always end up with to low or high trumpet wet fart sound but I dig it🤣🔥🔥 commie gang
yeah i thought it went well
Hey man with these pacemakers what twin pipes did you use that go from extractors to the twin exhaust? And do they have a option to get cat ones?
I just got the exhaust shop to weld up some straight pipes that go from the pacemakers to the x force exhaust. But it sounds horrible so maybe get some hotdogs in there
You could chuck some high flow cats in if you wanted to
@@joeycool5810 cheers man, how much did they charge?
I'm not to sure man maybe $120 it was a fair while ago
Mabey try some hotdogs or anything like that
yeah man the exhaust sounds so shit haha
Yeah...umm...aerobics....maybe you should do instruction vid....😂😂
Me outfit is a bit tight atm
@@joeycool5810 lol, M8, you're a farken classic 😂👍
How much for the set up
was about $1300 mate. i reckon its worth it, gives you something to do and it helps the motor breathe for your next project
Anyone else get that “ hardly knows what he’s up to “ feeling?
someones jealoussssss

Go look at a read mechanic.
Put some flowmaster in it super 44s
fuel pumps?
Look at performance bikes and cars , 2 into 1 .....
Try get a XU6 ecu
Is that the cop enhanced ecu? Where would I find one?
@@joeycool5810 there is one eBay! Or Holden wrecks. I've got one in my S VT V6 supercharge. With just extractors twin 3" cats going into 1 with stock ecu. Dyno 205hp on wheels. I found the XU6 HSV VT ECU BSM AND KEY. 15m to install I noticed the difference straight away. Dyno with Standard diff running 2.7 and standard box with the xu6 ecu. Got 215hp on wheel. After a few adjustments my power dyno 245hp and economical button 225hp.
Thats cool as. Do you know about the mace memcals? It's a chip you plug into the cars ecu does pretty much the same thing
have to say the reason why i see so many manifold studs broken off in these cars is because people watch stuff like this and think this is how , its not , what you need to do is go buy a $45 self igniting butane torch from bunnings and you want to heat the studs up before you even attempt to crack them , all i can say about this is he got lucky
yeah cool story bud
2.5 cat back dea performance
no cat fella here
You will never get a v6 to sound good with any sort of mods. Best to leave them silent as stock. Boy racers take note!
I disagree
I disagree... ditch the X pipe and fit double H pipes behind the cats... check out the Turbo Buick Grand National, Pontiac Grand Prix L67 V6 and even the Ford Capri Essex V6 and Cosworth V6 exhaust sound... and then there is the Jaguar F type V6 but that exhaust system probably costs more than a Commodore when it was new. 🤣😋
I improved the sound of my old L67. I pissed it off and bought a 5ltr
@@mael-strom9707 Yeah I was referring to the Buick V6 L67 in Aussie family wagons. Others have succeeded but these things sound like a donkey stuck in a bear trap
@@joeycool5810 then your the one that everyone looks at when accelerating away saying "that don't sound good"......
