Modifying Stock Exhaust

[VNS 24]

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is already posted or discussed before. I can't find any information related in search engine.

Anyway, I am looking at modifying my stock exhaust. Not fancy job, I just want to change my stock exhaust tips to stainless steel or chrome and make them extend past my Veilside rear bar. For now, stock ones are sitting way too much inside.

Can anyone with past experiences in this process please let me know the pros and cons?

Also, I've looked up in Workshop thread and might be contacting Kermit Engineering for this job. But if anyone know any reputable shops in SOR, please let me know.

Thank you.

Why bother? just get Kermit to make you a nice new full system

Cost effective?

I just don't want to spend the same as buying the whole new system. Plus it's stock, so not much hassle.

I am still weighing up my options.

It won't sound very good though. Kermit will make you something that sounds AMAZING And for not that much money either. My exhaust cost me $700. Cheaper than any Jap brand and much better to boot.

Just putting an aftermarket muffler on your stock exhaust has absolutely no benefit whatsoever, other than making your car sound like a sustained wet fart.

A full exhaust will actually give you performance gains as well as making it sound good.

Just changing the tips would change the sound that much? I didn't know about that before.

I am not after any power gain at this stage. Just want bigger shiny exhaust tips that will look nice with the rear bar and sound stock.

If that's not possible, I will just have to get an aftermarket one.

Thank you, sir.

But no, thanks. I don't want heart shapes. I just want to make it looks new, stockish and compliment the rear bar fully.

. Very funny, sir.

Nah, seriously. I just want the rear end to look better. I can go buy the new exhaust, but it will still sit inside the bar like 25mm. I just want the exhaust to extend out.

Then don't buy an off the shelf system. Find the muffler you want and get kermit to make you up a nice system with that muffler on the end, exactly where you want it.

If you just weld a bigger muffler on the end it's going to sound like a Honda.

Ok. Thanks, mate.

I will keep that in mind.

By the way, do you live or work around Maddington area? I saw twice silver Stagea about 5:40pm this week coming out of one of the street.

Thanks for the offer, mate.

I've already got plans for this weekends. I will definitely call Kermit if I go ahead with this decision, and ask more about it.

Thanks again.

havent looked at a stock system but it shouldnt be too hard to make up a tip/s that extend past the bumper.

[gazza750]

just get off your ass and take it to an exhaust shop and they can weld an extension on it

Yes, mate.

I will do that if the car won't sound very much like a "Honda" like previous guys said.

[Hanaldo]

Yeh give Kermit a call and discuss some options. He is a good bloke, he won't mind talking to you about it
