As I'm a new person to Melbourne, I have no idea about the workshops around here. Can anyone recommend me a good exhaust workshop in Melbourne?
I already have a set of pacemakers PH4499 and a 2.5 hi-flow cat. I'm after a single 2.5' mandrel bent system that has no drone inside the car. The motor is an AU1 I6. I'm not overly phased on the noise it makes, i'm more interested in the performance side. Any help will be appreciated. |

You can get a redback cats back 2.5" mandrel system with rear resonator and fit it yourself (simply bolts up using existing hanger brackets etc). Should be able to get one for around the $350 mark.
Melbourne's a pretty big place, so you may need to be more specific, but you could always try site sponsors such as G&D (click me), HM Headers & Perry exhausts (click me), etc.

I should've been a bit more specific. I'm around the city area, are there any workshops around here that anyone can recommend?
If not, I might just make the trip down to G&D, if there isn't another reputable workshop closer. |

Do you know the Highpoint Shopping Centre in Maribyrnong? There's a strip of car mechanic shops on the street opposite it, where the tram runs along. One shop is called Highpoint Mufflers, who specialise in the exhaust. I had my AUII there and they are nice people.
