    Question Which exhaust to get?

    Im currently looking at getting a new catback exhaust for my v6 VX commodore and i have two options.

    1. Lukey 2.5" catback with only the front resonator
    quoted at $305 fitted

    2. Redback 2.5" catback with front and rear resonator
    quoted at $350 fitted

    Im leaning more towards the lukey system because its slightly cheaper and will be louder.. but will the lack of a rear resonator make it sound bad in anyway?
    Just checking to see what other's opinions are on the matter..

    Also, If anybody knows of any cheaper prices around the Ipswich area, QLD, id be very appreciative

    Thanks

    hey bro. Try Scotts Rods in West Ipswich. 47 Keogh Street. They served me really well on a 2.5" redback catback. Cant be sure on the sound quality but it was chea and they seemed really good. Still waiting to get the exhaust in

    ok just rung up scotts rods and they quoted me a redback system for $255 fitted. so now my two options are

    Lukey 2.5" catback - $305
    Redback 2.5" catback - $255

    does anybody have any recommendations? would the lukey be worth the extra 50 bucks? oh yeh and both these systems have no rear resonator.

    Have the Lukey 2.5 inch bolt on attached to the VZ at the moment, which Im quite happy with.
    Nice rumble when you drive it normally, and enough noise when you give it some boot.
