Sorry Mate I think your Mate was just being nice to you. As there is no way a AU 6 with a off the shelf Redback is going to sound better then either a ford or Holden 8. with a exhaust. nothing beats the V8 rumble :1syellow1
P.s Im sure it sounds really nice tho |

Mine has the extra resonator at the back though, to quiten it down (it's on the family wagon, after all), but still sounds good. And I know what an I6 sounds like with no muffler (in fact no system at all apart from pacemaker extractors - bl0ody loud!), so I can imagine that with a single muffler, it must sounds pretty nice. Not as nice as my XR8 with single 3" and one muffler, but nice nonetheless. Good work - is the car running well now?

I got a redback exhaust (2 years ago) and it costed $190 installed then an extra $70 for the twin tip. Its got the redback sticker on the muffler and all.
Exhausts seem to have taken a sharp price hike. Iv actually still got the receipt here for it, its from jack beedhams.

My SS has an exhaust upgrade, a V6 can't match it. I'm planning on getting Pacemaker headers and Lukey exhaust for the I6 so I'm hoping it will sound half as good as my SS.

hey smoked, i haven't had any issues with it and the converter has to be hot anyway...remeber it gets its heat from the hot water hoses from your radiator.
i am quite positive it is leagal to have your converter next to extractors. if that was illegal then i would imagine having a standard setup would be illegal also. and i have a semi heat sheild covereing them so even if cops do see them, i am not fussed

I got a quote today for a single muffler 2.5 system (redback) from jack beedham for $210 fitted, so that's only 20 bucks more than duffman paid a couple of years ago. I guess some things haven't gone up that much. Anyone got any experience with hurricane or hi-tech extractors, also got a quote for them, $350 installed. Sounds pretty good to me.
