95 VCV10 Exhaust replacement

[ctate1]

Just wondering if I could get advice from the Guru's, looking to get a new exhaust system for my 95 VCV10 and would like to know what information I could receive. Just got a quote on a new cat back system, which would be $950. Would this be worth it, and what benefits would I receive.

No, go elsewhere. That is far too expensive. Benefits won't be huge, a better note and maybe a couple more horsepower.

What suburb are you located in?

Called a few more places, got a quote from Mufflers to the Max in Ashmore, 380 for a whole new system with muffler or he can do 600 with a sports cat. Would the extra $220 on the cat be worth it? I'm in Ashmore QLD btw, thanks for the help mate.

That's a fairly decent price.

I thought so as well, would I be right in thinking getting the new cat would be fairly beneficial? Since the one that's on there now is going on 21 years old, I did check and it is still the factory cat, or appears to be so.

Yes, you may gain a little more power if you do the Y-pipe as well.

What upgrades to the y pipe should I ask for? I'm not exactly sure what I should be asking for.

As you can see below, the difference in the flow path.

The photo is for comparison as it is for a later model, so yours will probably be a bit different. I couldn't find a direct comparison for the 3VZ.

Damn that looks like it'd increase flow heaps, hopefully it won't cost too much extra as my budget is already pretty stretched. Thanks for all the help though mate

I had another question, what size is the factory exhaust on the VCV10's? I'm guessing it's 2.5 inch in diameter.
