Default Xr8 Exhaust

Hi ive got just the usual 2and a half with the 1 muffler, and I'm wondering would it be worth going a single 3" or twin 2 and a half, for those that allready have this some feedback would be good

I have a twin 2 1/2 on mine. Sounds nice & help it go better up in the top end of the rev range.

Single 2.5" herrod system on mine, I like the low and mid range torque that it gives.

Get the twin system. I got a 3inch herrod system on my AU XR8 ute with dumper and was never really happy with the note. Its up to personal taste I guess.

Single 3" for me, though if I had the money, I'd go twins again: 2.5' twin.

Mine's a herrod 2 and a half inch system, great for no drone and sounds like it's got some balls when you give it a squirt. If I was to purchse a system, I would go for what my partner's ute has. It's a Difilippo 3" system, now that has balls. Very nice and very full of grunt. :sm_drool:
