Got some 3.0 cams here and a 3.0 lower inlet manifold...if you want them then pm me :)

Will take a pic of the car I have stripped down and cams missing...not too difficult to do, just time consuming removing all the bolts lol

PM sent  :D

Two cats, two centre resonators that then feed a single back box......just drill some holes in the back box if you want noise......and a cone filter will reduce the power!

Nice one - cheers  ;)

how do scumballers, sounds like a worthy cause.
Sounds like you already suspect an oiled filter can bugger the Maf, the oil can get sucked through the induction and cook itself onto the filament causing failure.
 Having just fitted a new exhaust i wonder if removing the back box would give the desired effect? Probably depends how rusted the clamps and connector pipes are as to weather you can get it back on or not.

Best answer yet, are there 2 cats on a 2.5 after the down pipes then does the pipe join into 1 then baffle then back box?

If so i think a 2.5" custom cat back system would be reletavely cheap?

Thats great - cheers for the replies.

What are the exhaust options available? I have heard some nice fruity V6 Omegas on youtube! :o

I am going to try to get parts FOC in return for exposure on Men&Motors and car mags ;)

oh by the way... whats this charity rally all about? what charity? closed roads? fun?!?!?!?!

If you have a sponsor form online it might be worth posting the link for us...

Good idea there mate  ::)

Sorry guys - the carity is CHASE which provides help and services to children that are terminally i'll as well as help and support to their fammilies and carers. A VERY worthy cause I think you will all agree.

Hello Guy snad Gals.

As I am competing in a charity rally next spring i am looking at one or two bolt ons to amplify the sound of the 2.5l V6

you can use the cone air filter, it will gain the sound of v6 and make it sound awesome!

perhaps cone will give you a bit more perfomance too :)
have fit on mine cone filter nice sound from 3500 :y

Nice - i will have a look on line for one!  :)

Do you think the MAF will mind? I know some cars dont like the oiled type cones. I dont want to tempt fate as reliabillity is v important on the trip lol

Hello Guys and Gals.

As I am competing in a charity rally next spring i am looking at one or two bolt ons to amplify the sound of the 2.5l V6

What pitfalls may I encounter in terms of sensors and cats in the exhaust? I am not looking to spend loads on a brand new stainless system i am just looking to up the fun factor a bit for as cheap as poss.

Can anyone advise of the options that i have ie de catting etc?

Thankyou in anticipation

Andy :)

Hello Guys & Gals! :)

Just joined the forum as I am about to buy a v6 Elite to compete in the Scumball rally next spring.

The car is coming with 12 months test, history and great bodywork.

It will be our home for itro 5,000 miles over 5 days next year and I can’t wait.

You may see me over the next few months asking daft question while we get the car prepped and tip top so please be gentle!

I am especially keen to make the car sound like a beast and treat it to a few bolt ons possibly so advice appreciated!

Cheers all

Andy
