Yeah and GOZOFF too - funny i was pm'ing him yeasterday about exactly this topic. I'm thinking about doing the same - cat back 2½ inch Xforce muffler exhaust with two resonators (same spec as GOZOFF) apparently it was about $450.

why is it that you need two resonators?

so it's not too loud and doesn't get any unwanted attention....

I used them for mine!

Just there basic sports muffler with a tip on it, 2 inch cat back and a new resonator!

Im heaps happy with it, i have friends with astras, one has an xforce cannon the other some generic one i think DRFT from autobarn, the basic sports one from Liverpool is awsome, best on ive heard!

cost me $330 all up! mind you if i was to do it again on a euro would get twin tips!

Leave it as it is! Nice silent system. A sports system on a 4 cyl auto sounds crappy plus!

I've been looking into getting a split system fitted, not unlike the Honda Euro Accord, but have promised my wife that it will remain quiet. I'll just finish it all off with a nice stainless/chrome, rolled edge, 2.5 inch tip on either side.

I used Liverpool Exhaust as well.
Highly recommended. Its pretty much the only car thing thats gone flawlessly for me. Zero hassles with them. Called them up on Saturday morning, got it done Saturday afternoon.

I think its a good idea if peeps want to hear the sound of our zaust and see what they like would help also, you have to remember esspecially those with a turbo or a 2.2 the sound is very different compared to a 1.8 litre as I found out the hard way and ended up with a very loud zaust and had to spend money again replacing it :roll:

very true
should have a meet where everyone with exaust can go and then everyone who wants one can listen to them
would save alot of people alot of money

I know what I'm getting... super sprint rear muffler....

now I need to find somebody who imports them.

Spending money on a full system for my car would be like putting my money into a paper shredder. :lol:

check out remus, sebring as others have said.

Avoid a cannon unless you want me to hit you.

i had to buy another exhuast..
first 1 was loud, and it was only a small cannon..

2nd 1, its huge.. but u cannot hear the exhuast wen u driving outside the car unless your behind the car.. eg.. if i was driving along a rd, you wont hear me coming unless i'v gone past you. but this exhuast sounds alot deeper.. i dunno wots going on..

Namus

does it have an extra resonator on it?? that would make the sound less noticable

i think it's called the resonator :|

just the 1 resonator, wen i got my 1st exhuast i got 2' cat bak with the cannon, then i changed the cannon.. nothing else..

and it sounds totally different
