    PV option could be broken down by:

    PV1
    PV2
    Catback

    I believe they are all different in some degree

    1st gen. PV cat-back!

    The HP increase is impressive, but some people had issues with the "wheezonator" exhaust tip, but I have not swapped mine yet. The 2nd gen. PV is much louder than the first, and sounds more like an American muscle car. The first has more of a turbine/jet engine sound at WOT, but is very stealthy otherwise.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    When I get my VX, I plan on making a custom exhaust as my first mod. I plan on doing a double-cat, double exhaust, with quad tips. Not sure if I'll do new headers, too, but I'll have to see.

    What's a PV? Where can I get one? How much does it cost? How much to have double mufflers? Is it worth it? How much more HP will I gain?

    Thank you...

    I have a PV 2 Cat-back...

    I must say I'm less than pleased with the sound. The PV2's sound horrible IMHO.

    An American Muscle car? What kind of muscle cars have you been listening to? It sounds like a souped up Honda with a coffee can exhaust tip. It's great for people that like the ricer sound, but I do not like it...

    A muscle car it does not sound like, that's for sure.

    Post PV Catback

    Well I got in on the original PV catback system. I'm pleased with the sound, the only thing I have to change it the tip. Nice to have stainless steel system but the resinator is steel and rusted. That's my only complain. Nice system but a poor choice on the tip. It's also smaller than the stocker. O-well when I get sick of cleaning the rust out and painting the insides I'll get a good one welded on.

    I have no idea. Never seen the vehicle from the underside. In fact, I won't see my particular VX until Saturday when I fly up to get it!

    I've got the original PV1 catback as well, with the same complaint as andyc - the tip is chromed and rusting. Sound is much more mellow now that I've had it over a year. The PV2 sounds like a truck with an exhaust leak to me - but to each his own.
