I like how it sounds, as im not into very loud NA builds these days. Just like some beef to the note and that sounds perfect to me. Having said that there could be a high chance the catalytic converter has collapsed on itself restricting some flow.
needs a high flow cat and extractors to really hear what the AU can do. I put a full redback system on my 6 cyl wagon. BIG difference to sound and power. My V8 wagon got a full custom twin pipe redback cats, mufflers and extractors.
@@RossReviewsau LPG does change the note but not really how loud it is. Like i was saying in my other comment. The catalytic converter has probably collapsed suppressing the flow
Systems with new mufflers don’t sound loud until the mufflers have worn in, the car need to be driven for a week or two then the soot will settle in and it will get louder to how it’s meant to sound
Hi Ross Reviews this is Jordan’s car reviews here. When are you going to do the XR door cards and XR steering wheel? Can’t wait for the next video. From Jordan’s car reviews.
This is most the reason i tig welded a Flowmaster super 40 race muffler on mine with 2.5 inch and put a 2.5inch v band clamp in where the dreaded clamp normally is. Considering the muffler has no packing its not too loud however i still haven put extractors on yet and the stock cat is like a huge muffler, they weight a tonne. Im scared once i remove that for a high flow it'll going to sound straight piped, cheers
i once broke my AU's exhaust off after the CAT after bottoming out over something and drove it around for a month untill i could afford to fix it, and it was fun for the first 20 minutes lol but under load with no exhaust just droned on & on unless you were fair up it!
I've got unequal runner length headers and a 2.5" system with 1 flowmaster muffler.thing is loud and sounds good.almost has a bit of chop because of the headers
Strange how quiet it is, I put a cat back 2.5" on my EL, with a hot dog in the tail pipe and it's heaps louder and barks more than this. Mine is petrol don't know if that makes a difference. Also is this mandrel bent? Mine is.
I remember doing my redback catback myself and I've done it alot. I always have a mighty au as a run around and it's always my first mod. An au has nothing on my bf xr6 turbo ute but I tell you what my first one had headers cold air intake full 3 inch exhaust and a stage 3 crow cam with j3 chip tune. She was a little pocket rocket untill mother nature decided to let a tree fall on her. I miss that one,
Top work mate haha should release the uncut version on patreon see how ya aussie swearing is coming along. Sound better but also sounds like the old cat is a bit blocked up, I for one vote decat
I had a rhino exhaust system that was pretty similar, after about 2 weeks of driving it got louder but still nothing crazy, you can just punch out the cat and throw some pacemaker 4480s on and it'll transform the old girl
That's exactly what i thought and have been saying. Everyone saying it's because of LPG is full of shit. He would also gain some power with an unblocked cat
Very cool local companies are helping out with the build shame the ol gas motor won’t give us much of a note, would be keen to hear that exhaust system on a Petrol.
tip for next time.. auto transfluid an acetone 1:1 ratio *100ml of auto trans fluid to 100ml of acetone* (give it a really good shake before using EACH TIME the autotrans fluid eats the rust. an the acetone thins it out . its better then penetrating fluid
Mate!! It sounds great. Good job. I like It sounds suitably sporty for the style of car. You don't want it sounding unrecognisable as an Intech. Watching you under there was great entertainment because I know how much it sucks!
This has happened to me back in the day, the lack of sound is all because of the cat converter, it would of collapsed (not surprised being a 20 year old car) hence it is not as loud as you expected, change or gut the cat converter bud!
Hi Mate,don't worry it sounds better than the original & I like how you were looking at peoples houses & reving the car in neutral Johnny,sort of saying get some AU up ya neighbours hahaha.
I thought you were going to ruin that nice quiet LPG AU and turn it into one of those terrible sounding obnoxious pieces of crap but that exhaust you put on actually sounds great and now I'm thinking of doing the same for my daily LPG AU ute..
Just changes the note slightly on LPG not how loud it is. I have a duel fuel AU Fairmont that was extremely loud without an exhaust. Wehn i put a cat back on her i put another rear resonator in to quieten it down and remove some the drone. Im whiling to bet the catalytic converter has collapsed restricting its flow
Gosh that engine was quiet! My old ba was loud as f without the exhaust on. Welcome to newbie car club where you put a shit tonne of time and uncomfortable effort in for fuck all
@@RossReviewsau Part of it is in the profile pic. I have mostly fixed it over the last few years but still has dents in the roof from the huge roo rolling over the car and and a dent in the door from the roos tail. Wish I had a dashcam at that time, to show how fast it happened and virtually 0 reaction time.
Really needs a pacemaker 4480 extractors and high flow cat
cat delete ;)
4480 will not fit an LPG car.
@@theauthenticsteve yeh many systems wont fit LPG sadly
@@theauthenticsteve why wont they work,I've had headers on a gas and fuel falcon.
@@barra245t2 According to Pacemaker (and others) they don't fit, Pacemaker recommends the 4499's for LPG cars.
I like how it sounds, as im not into very loud NA builds these days. Just like some beef to the note and that sounds perfect to me. Having said that there could be a high chance the catalytic converter has collapsed on itself restricting some flow.
yeh might have to go catless :)
@@RossReviewsau gut it 😂
Hmm,
Well, look at it in a positive view, you got a free exhaust to replace the tired old one, so at the end of the day, the AU wins.
dead set mate.. still happy i gave it a crack and its on the car :)
needs a high flow cat and extractors to really hear what the AU can do. I put a full redback system on my 6 cyl wagon. BIG difference to sound and power. My V8 wagon got a full custom twin pipe redback cats, mufflers and extractors.
that would be nice eh.. i found a lot of systems saying they would not fit a LPG model :(
@@RossReviewsau lpg does make it very hard to fit.......I have direct injection lpg on my 2nd V8 au wagon, everything fits very nicely.
Swearing like a true Aussie mate 🤣🤣 Loving the AU build series. Keen to see whats next on the F6 to 👍
More to come! thanks brotha! haha up the AU
Hey Ross it does sound better. Got to give you credit for going through the hassle. Maybe it’ll pick up the performance a bit.
We will test the 0-100 again once the lowering springs go in😜
@@RossReviewsau Karen is going to be on the phone with crime stoppers because the exhaust system is 1db too loud!!!
@@RossReviewsau haha good stuff, she definitely needs more low!
But on the other hand, it sounds much better than the stock exhaust.
@@cooperesler7909 going to be made lower next :)
For the loudest and best sounding you should get a pacemaker 4480 extractor
true many systems say they dont fit LPG tho from searching..
A nice set of extractors and a high flow cat would definitely get it louder 👌still better than stock anyway it will also bed in aswell
Yeah mate I noticed a big difference on my ba XR6 after pacemakers and high flow cat.
that would make it better.. i heard being LPG tho it might be different a lot of the systems say they do not fit LPG
@@RossReviewsau Ah yeah that's a bit of a shame, guessing being log itself makes it quieter somehow? Haha.
@@RossReviewsau LPG does change the note but not really how loud it is. Like i was saying in my other comment. The catalytic converter has probably collapsed suppressing the flow

ok im keen to see what it will be like then.. will hopefully gain a bit more sound over the next week
Dude.. credit.. I would have given up before the jack stands and paid the neighbour.
I had to do it for the channel 🤣 was tempting to pay old mate 150 to do it for me
09:08 - Did I just hear, "let's hear it with some sauce" hahahahahahaha love it
HA! yup im clearly watching your channel to much lol
Hi Ross Reviews this is Jordan’s car reviews here. When are you going to do the XR door cards and XR steering wheel? Can’t wait for the next video. From Jordan’s car reviews.
cheers as always jordan!
Ross review video on a Friday night hell yea 👌 😎 🙌
why not! lol SEND IT
@@RossReviewsau haha if I had a AU I'd be happy to send it 😉 the good old dmax can't really skid lol 😆 😅 😄
Shit yeah!
To be fair. The idle does sound nice. And was free
it does sound a bit better.. and was free so win win ;) just was a lot of effort HAHA
@@RossReviewsau oh now I understand your crestfallen face!
Sounds alright. I wouldn't want it really loud. An NA inline 6 sounds like shit when its loud
its better than it was so i cant be to upset lol
dunno, the commodore v6 sounds awful with an exhaust..
It will get louder in with a few heat cycles
lets hope ;)
mate you are now certified true blue aussie love this channel keep it up brother
thanks brotha! appreciate the support
This is most the reason i tig welded a Flowmaster super 40 race muffler on mine with 2.5 inch and put a 2.5inch v band clamp in where the dreaded clamp normally is. Considering the muffler has no packing its not too loud however i still haven put extractors on yet and the stock cat is like a huge muffler, they weight a tonne. Im scared once i remove that for a high flow it'll going to sound straight piped, cheers
yeh would have been good to bash out the cat while i had it off lol but can not be asked now! haha
it will get louder to more it beds in .. it took mine about 6 months to bed in properly
TRUE! that long.. wow had no idea
@@RossReviewsau yeah . The back of my car was constantly sparkly from all the fibreglass coming out the exhaust ..
Waiting for the bolt on supercharger mate 😤
OH MATE.. thats what we need for sure
Friday night vlog ✅👍 up the AU
YEW!
i once broke my AU's exhaust off after the CAT after bottoming out over something and drove it around for a month untill i could afford to fix it, and it was fun for the first 20 minutes lol but under load with no exhaust just droned on & on unless you were fair up it!
yeh def dont want it to be super dronie
U know when Ross swears it’s got to be a pain in the ass hahah
HAHA it was!
@@RossReviewsau Yo Ross ITS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY I TURNED 18
I've got unequal runner length headers and a 2.5" system with 1 flowmaster muffler.thing is loud and sounds good.almost has a bit of chop because of the headers
i wanted to get headers but LPG apparently wont fit many systems
@@RossReviewsau I've had headers on a car with gas and fuel set up,seemed ok
hey sounds better than before, definitely only for track use being that loud 🥴
need earplugs now when driving eh! lol
Strange how quiet it is, I put a cat back 2.5" on my EL, with a hot dog in the tail pipe and it's heaps louder and barks more than this. Mine is petrol don't know if that makes a difference. Also is this mandrel bent? Mine is.
yeh LPG must make a difference. people have said my cat is probably toast so limiting the sound
Love it mate. Yeah it doesn't sound the best, but like you have said, it's not meant to be a luxury car, it's meant to be a bit of fun.
Well said! it was free and still sounds better than factory so win win
I remember doing my redback catback myself and I've done it alot. I always have a mighty au as a run around and it's always my first mod. An au has nothing on my bf xr6 turbo ute but I tell you what my first one had headers cold air intake full 3 inch exhaust and a stage 3 crow cam with j3 chip tune. She was a little pocket rocket untill mother nature decided to let a tree fall on her. I miss that one,
its a pain! haha was hoping to use a hoist but driveway jobs make for better content i think haha
Ok so I have done a bit of research and found that For a AU LPG the pacemaker 4499 extractors will fit on and a high flow cat.
damn thats tempting
unleashed another 50kw at least ,sounds pretty good too me
YEW! gonna have to give the 0-100 another go
Hey Ross, how do you enter for the AU giveaway?
all you have to do is donate any small amount into the AU fund which is linked in the description :)
You need those chassis supporters higher man, they are at the lowest level.
Make it as comfy as you can, a lil less much hassle
I was thinking the same, but I don’t think his pro lift orange Jack could crank it up any higher..
i need a new jack lol.. wouldn't go any higher
Hey mate did you fit a K&N pod on the front? That will definitely flow better ?
might chuck one in eh haha
@@RossReviewsau it might help the noise department as well 😁
Loving this build mate! Every gold au catches my eye around perth thinking its this one haha
HAHA im sure you will see me around at some point :)
Axle stands do go up another 5 levels ' sounds alright tho just needs a set of herrod headers/flow
Yeh but my shit jack wont 🤣
Top work mate haha should release the uncut version on patreon see how ya aussie swearing is coming along. Sound better but also sounds like the old cat is a bit blocked up, I for one vote decat
HAHA don't worry you'll hear more aussie swearing when i try to do the lowering springs ;p no cat would be much better
Good amount of beeps that indicate having fun. Beep meter 8/10 so try hard next time.
We all like beeps!
when i lower it all go for a 10/10 lol
I can’t get over that intro
I had a rhino exhaust system that was pretty similar, after about 2 weeks of driving it got louder but still nothing crazy, you can just punch out the cat and throw some pacemaker 4480s on and it'll transform the old girl
lets hope it gets a bit louder as time goes on.. its still better than it was so im happy
extractors - decat - cammed - turbo and it might sound ok
Need a pod filter my guy
might be doing that soon
Gotta love a driveway job 😂😂
Definitely sounds better!!
Have you tried sourcing hi flow cats and headers for it ?
it is better just not as crazy as i was hoping..
That’s good ! Not to loud like how allot of housos and derros make their falcons sound
The cat is more than likely partially collapsed that would make it gutless and not very loud.
i should run no cats eh
That's exactly what i thought and have been saying. Everyone saying it's because of LPG is full of shit. He would also gain some power with an unblocked cat
Correct just don't say it to loud the epa might show up
@@Twenty_Six_Hundred might have to remove it
Hey mate, the au sounds so good! Great video
cheers mate!
Very cool local companies are helping out with the build shame the ol gas motor won’t give us much of a note, would be keen to hear that exhaust system on a Petrol.
it has been great to get some support :)
Definitely sounds better than it did mate, that cry had me in stitches 🤣
haha gotta add in the memes
How does one enter in the giveaway?
Link in description just donate any small amount into the au fund
And as far as exhausts go it's a pretty good sound actually
not bad.. just not as crazy as i would have liked haha
tip for next time.. auto transfluid an acetone 1:1 ratio *100ml of auto trans fluid to 100ml of acetone*
(give it a really good shake before using EACH TIME
the autotrans fluid eats the rust. an the acetone thins it out . its better then penetrating fluid
cheers for the tip!
The au sounded pretty good for the 2.5 inch up the au
not to bad eh.. :)
True wasn't to bad as well
Gotta lunch the cat out haha
yeh i should have while it was all apart lol
An inline motor will never sound that good, but this is 100% better than before. Keep up the good work John, love your work ...
Are u high lol
thanks mate its better than before anyhow :)
Straight sixes can sound amazing, as long as it isn't a Barra lol. Search Jag E Type 6 cylinder exhaust note. Or even an old racing Holden Red.
@@TheTeeroy32 and again u have no idea
Lol rb30/26/25, 2JZ????? What a spud you are
Sounds heaps better, you don’t want it too loud , it’s a stock 6
thats true.. :)
fun good job mate sounds better👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
thanks brotha
it's the stealth weapon
coming along nicely
thanks mate glad your liking the build so far :)
Mean ma bro churr 🤙🤙
UP THE AU
Definitely sounds better 👍👍🔥🔥
thanks mate.. its better just not epic lol
Sounds better man, without any performance mods done you don't want it ridiculous loud. It's not a Harley after all 👌
thanks mate.. def sounds better :)
Mate!! It sounds great. Good job.
I like It sounds suitably sporty for the style of car. You don't want it sounding unrecognisable as an Intech.
Watching you under there was great entertainment because I know how much it sucks!
thanks man! yeh its not to crazy but was hoping for a little bit more sound
Prob needs a set of extractors and a muffler delete/replacement
that would def help it out
This has happened to me back in the day, the lack of sound is all because of the cat converter, it would of collapsed (not surprised being a 20 year old car) hence it is not as loud as you expected, change or gut the cat converter bud!

Hahahahahaahaha the edit on this is crack up lol hahahahahaahaha. The zoom in tobyour face when ya took it for a test frive hahahahahqq
HAHA cheers man glad your enjoying the channel :) hope you and the fam are well
Swap that big arse middle muffler for a hotdog or resonator should make it louder
yeh that would have been better eh
Hi Mate,don't worry it sounds better than the original & I like how you were looking at peoples houses & reving the car in neutral Johnny,sort of saying get some AU up ya neighbours hahaha.
HAHA telling the hole neighborhood
Pacemaker PH4480 extractor + hi-flo cat & you'll have what you were after here.......... BUT NO HP GAINS HAPPEN TILL CHIP 🤷♂️
would be nice to lose the cat HAHA
@@RossReviewsau knock the cat out and see how it sounds......I mean, for science 😉
@@tubraynz2925 might have to
4:43 yeah some p plater definitely put that “redback” on
def
If you wanted it loud you should of got the exhaust system with just a resonator in the middle instead of a muffler
was a free system so just said thank you ;)
Not bad for a GAS only car
thats it eh.. gotta remeber its only LPG
@@RossReviewsau yeah I know it’s LPG
Maybe it needs a stage 3 cam
🤣🤣🤣 the swearing, entertainment + 🤙🏻
HAHA typical driveway job banter
Up the tire shine lube
100%! haha worked a treat
I thought you were going to ruin that nice quiet LPG AU and turn it into one of those terrible sounding obnoxious pieces of crap but that exhaust you put on actually sounds great and now I'm thinking of doing the same for my daily LPG AU ute..
glad your happy with the sound :) its better than before so im happy
Straight pipe no cat is where it's at!! 🐈
love a good cat delete haha
Straight through mate if you want results
Straight pipe no cat 😏
Get pacemaker 4480s, that’ll sort the sound.
that would be epic eh
This is why mechanics get paid well
HAHA i wanted to pay a shop $100 bucks but i did it myself for you guys!
Way better then before mate 👌
thanks mate! it is better
Reckon it sounds good ay! Gas engines seem to be a bit quieter from my experience :)
its better for sure... yeh LPG does seem to be quieter
No ticking from the Petrol injectors
You can now take it to the race track with that exhaust 🤙🏼
the AU is track certified now :)
Straight pipe,bypass the cat, then it will open up
yeh we need to go catless i think
@@RossReviewsau yeah bro,it will open it up,they sound mean too,do uz a vid
@@MONGRELFKNMOB might do it haha
10:27 aren’t those guys gonna be pissed they sent you an exuast
gotta be honest
Of course for science haha
🤓 im a sciAUtist
Ross why not use a hoist mate.
dont have one lol
2:00 might rex
the legend
I read the caption as Truck exhaust 😅
lol
Sounds good for a lpg au👍🏼
better than before eh
Dam LPGs so quiet aha might aswell straight pipe it aha that exhaust on a petrol would’ve been twice as loud haha
That's a myth. My first car, a 245 Valiant didn't lose any of it's bassy exhaust bark when it was converted to gas.
Just changes the note slightly on LPG not how loud it is. I have a duel fuel AU Fairmont that was extremely loud without an exhaust. Wehn i put a cat back on her i put another rear resonator in to quieten it down and remove some the drone. Im whiling to bet the catalytic converter has collapsed restricting its flow
yeh i think LPG does have something to do with it eh
Time to re-do the 0 to 100 test
yup will do another one soon
Next mods: full tubs and nitro?
lol how crazy
Hell yeah
cheers man
My EL only has a little tiny muffler on it and it sounds better, bloody unfortunate.
yeh LPG maybe has something to do with it idk
Get yourself a big bit of cardboard to lie on...better than a mechanics trolley
thats a pro tip!
I think that the cat is a little blocked tbh
yeh seems to be what a lot of people have said
Gosh that engine was quiet! My old ba was loud as f without the exhaust on. Welcome to newbie car club where you put a shit tonne of time and uncomfortable effort in for fuck all
yeh it was a let down after all that work for a 10% better sounding exhaust lol
