redback 2 1/2" catback exhaust to suit 04 VY S2 exec.
was quoted $380 installed with rear sports muffler or $320 installed with straight through pipe. ($420 with twin but i dont want my car to look like something it isnt)
i can get any of it $40 cheaper to install myself but am unfamiliar with the process so is it something easy to do? i have plenty of tools and know alot about hardware just not the bottom of my car, cant really see under it with the current springs.
does this seem like a good price? its the best ive got so far
and which system would be better for an AUTO V6
Go for the $380 option , without the rear muffler it will sound awful. Your car is a Non Supercharged v6 I take it. Remember youre buying the exhaust from the Cat converter back, not the whole system, so make sure the system pipes/cat from the engine to the cat is serviceable & not rusty or holed or leaking. Removal / installation from the Cat Back is fairly easy , a few bolts to undo & a couple of rubber grommets to unhook. You may not get a Chrome tip on the end though. Jack up car at the rear & support on stands at least 600mm will get you good access to the system.
I paid that exact price mate and got exactly that , only drones when you've got your foot down at a reasonable speed otherwise I don't notice it. sounds good tooso go with the $380 deal
I can do that system for $180 without rear resonator or $240 with, supplied only, plus $35 shipping.
If it makes a nice growl when u put ur foot down, then its gonna drone. The first month is the worst, after a while it goes to a nicer deeper tone.
Mine drones its worst at 2500 rpm. much lower than that its pretty quiet, much higher and its epic
Just a tradeoff, to get a nice overall sound, u have to put up with whichever rpm band drones the cabin out
Go for the twin staggered tips, anything in a single looks rather crap with the VY shape.
