im a new commer to this site and the whole car scence, so i dont know how everything works yet. im getting my p's in a month and my mums AUII falcon forte, it looks nice i already lowerd it and put rims and a fully sick sound system but i cant stand the way the engine sounds so i thought about fitting a full exhaust system from headers to tip. i thought i would chek with proffessional ford enthusiasts if that would be a good idea to increas the grunt and if its possible to have a twin exhaust system with each exhaust on opposite sides of the car like the 300ZX style. if it is possible were do i go to have it fitted in the western suburbas of melb!!! Thanx for any help
p.s thers to much ****s with VN's around |

can't do a twin exhaust on an au i6 without moving the fuel tank as it sits on the far left of the rear bumper, you can however go up to a 3 inch exhaust, with extractors, however this is very loud, a couple of the other people on here have them so they can tell you more, oh by the way, welcome to the forums

Welcome to the forums mate!
Most people seem to be happy with a single 2.5" redback or lukey (or similar) system which can go into a nice twin tip. If you're prepared to spend the folding, a full twin system with twin tips on one side is pretty cool. But unless you've got a bodykit, the dual outlets might look a little out of place. Blending in is useful when you're first on your p's. Thats one reason why i didn't get the XR till i was on my blacks. It doesn't take much to get a nice note out of the I6.

Welcome mate, you will find alot of knowledge here.
Have a read of this for a start on your exhaust. http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=69146 But it seems the first mod you would want to do is a set of Extractors (maybe pacemaker or a well known brand) with a 2 and 1/2" or 3" Inch exhaust, depending on how loud you want to go. A 2 and 1/2" Inch with a single muffler tends to be the most popular. From memory this should give you around 10 - 15RWKW more. But the best link is this one. This will list all your power mods you would want to start with. Click Here

Recommending the Bendix pads is a bit controversial though. |

The 6's go just aswell as most 8's and will even knock off a few.
You can make a 2.5in just asloud as a 3inch, or a 3inch just as quiet as a 2.5in exhaust system, its just mufflers. Extractors, 2.5 or 3inch exhaust, intake, edit and a cam will make big power gains, to get it moving a 3000rpm stall converter and 3.9 diff gears will give it alot of punch off the line if you get traction. |

If I was you, being your young age, I would'nt really modify my car too much until I got a steady job, saved money for a future home(renting) and finished school. Then start modifying my car...
