Hi i have recently purchased a series 3 XR6 and was just curious if the exhaust on it is standard or an aftermarket one. I havent seen many VCT XR6's so im not to sure what should be under there or how they should sound. Mine seems to have a deep sound to it at idle something i havent really heard from falcon 6 cylinders before, sounded like a video i saw of a VCT with a lukey exhaust fitted to it, it sounds awesome and has plenty of go particulary down low, im very happy with it just doesnt seem right but as i said before i havent been involved with the VCT before so its probaly how it is.
Id just like to know for sure what it is. here are the pics ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() and this is the one that raised the most suspicion, towards the rear end of the exhaust is what looks to be a sticker of some sort you cant make out what it says as its worn off and all thats left is the marking of the sticker. ![]() ![]() cheers Mat

Looks like a redback system. The standard system is actually one into 2 into one (it uses the same sysem as the XR8, just one side does nothing), so what you have is definitely after market.

VCT sound pretty well the same as a normal 6 cylinder falcon
just a lil different when the revs get up there .. but not much different

Yeah thats what i thought it sounds alot deeper than the au wagon i have and thats why i thought it had to be aftermarket, and if it is a redback thats a bonus because i heard they are the best for the VCT and a few posts on this forum have suggested the same thing.
thanks JC for confirming it for me. cheers mat
