As if you're gonna buy an exhaust off ebay mate. $330 plus postage, no thanks.
Get one cheaper including fitting at a local exhaust place... A place that knows what they're talking about not just some backyard ebay seller.

Yeah your exactly right mate, you would also get a tip on the exaust for $300 at most places, i payed $280 for one on my VY with chrome tip...
eeeek, it does'nt even have a brand either.
expect to pay around $250-$380 for a good branded cat back system, exhaust tip and installation at any local exhaust shop.
i live in the country and the only shop that was anygood is now retired, and none of them cam do 3' let alone do make 3' mandrel exhaust for that, nearest would proubly be ballarat and thats 250ks away.......
that is why asked if anyone had one and what the quality was like......

Actually yes just about any exhaust shop that sells X Force will do a system for the same price as that one on ebay... Fitted. Its not a custom exhaust if its a X force system, its just a pre-fab exhaust.
yes a shop that sells X force will do it for that price but you have to find a shop that is a X force distributor
no joke I no its pre fab but thats why they are cheaper then a shop that makes one from scratch
just because they are pre fab doesnt mean they arent good
and the original poster lives in a country town so his local shop wound have X force systems

If you are putting it on a V6, don't bother. Look for a 2 1/2" instead. If it's for a V8, go for it. It seems that it is more economical for you to get this rather than drive 250kms and get one that would be very similar anyway.
I see it has a 2 year warranty, that is what all mild steel systems have as well, so you are covered for 2 years against faulty materials or workmanship. Just make sure you fit it correctly and keep it up as high as possible.

If his local exhaust shop is not an X Force distributor, he can get a Lukey system or similar for the same price (mine was 250 without a rear resonator). And the lukey exhausts sound great.
if his local shop had cheap good systems he wouldn't be on here asking if they where any good now would he
the last shop i tried locally was for my hz 308 tunner, i got a system from collectors 2 into 1, lukey muffler, 2 1/2 out to a dump behind rear wheel, got stung $350 for it, took 6hrs and within the week i had to touch up the welds to stop the leaks and that wasn't a mandrel system...
i should ring him and get a qoute on a system for the vr for interest sake....i'll do that in the next couple of days and see how these prices shape up to the ones posted here...
i know there is other people from the bush on here that would have some good storys, but no competition round here has dropped the quality of workmanship round here.....
I Don't think you could get a 3 inch exhaust for that price in the bush anywhere. I'd buy it. Should make a nice increase in power on a 5litre
yeah i think i might, will still get a couple a qoutes for sihts and giggles...Don't think you could get a 3 inch exhaust for that price in the bush anywhere. I'd buy it. Should make a nice increase in power on a 5litre
