    Default Cat back for a VR V8

    I currently have stock exhaust, cracked standard headers, magnaflow 2.5inch high flow cat and no rear resonator and looking for a good cat back after i get RH side standard manifold replaced.
    It currently sounds pretty loud and has a nice crackle when down shifting (manual) but has way too much drone at 100kmh. I'm worried the drone will get worse if i put a bigger cat back system on
    as it mainly started droning after changing the cat. I'm after a deeper sound with no drone these are my options:

    Red back 2.5 inch cat back
    Red back 2.5 inch cat back with rear resonator
    Lukey 2.5 inch cat back
    Lukey 3 inch cat back twin center muffler

    Can any1 with a 5L recommend any good cat back systems?

    I have a cat back system that was developed by COME engines when I had my VS Calais stroked to a 355. Single resonator at the front and a single muffler at the rear. Haven't used it for some time. Don't know where you are located by you can have it for $50 pick-up if you are local in Melbourne SE suburbs and interested.

    Thats a awesome price, I take it for 690, we're talking mild steel. What sort of extractors? I have a VS Grange and I am quite happy with the exhaust, but I have toyed with the idea of replacing it, for a bit more note. How much for some extractors and a new cat to bolt up to the orginal system, that way when i sell it, I can convert it back easy enough, leaving it all orginal. PM if neccessary. Cheers
