    Default Manta single 2.5" or Redback dual 2.5"

    Now I know there are a LOAD of exhaust threads, but there is no direct answer to this questions.

    $360 for Redback.

    # Redback STR130 - Front muffler assembly (twin 2.5")
    # Redback STR131 - Rear muffler assembly (2.5") TWIN TAILPIPES
    # Full mandrel bent piping.
    # Twin 2.5" from the cats back.

    OR

    $380 for Manta

    Front Y pipe from the cats and it goes to single 2
    1/2" OUT, WITH REAR SPORTS MUFFLER.

    I would of thought twin 2.5" a little big.

    Well if you have given up talking sense, that lets start talking about exhaust back-pressure! LOL.

    Asked mates that work at exhaust places as to whether to get a single or twin with my system and they've all said twin.

    Twin. You will still have back pressure. Y pipe cats and headers are still the same I'm guessing.

    Just to let you know, I have the redback system, does make it sound nice, but it's not very loud with the rear muffler still there. Removed mine and sounds a lot better imo

    How hard is it to remove? Do you have to reweld it and extend the exhaust pipe?

    Agreed, don't get 2 1/2, lose heaps of torque. Everyone will say get the bigger pipe if they have no mechanical understanding. Anything over twin 2 1/4, or single 2 1/2, and you lose bottom and middle torque.
