    Sureflo in ingleburn are pretty good, I only got headers and cats done there, but they do cat back exhausts aswell. Service was really good too, spoke to Greg quite alot before I bit the bullet and took it in. Definately worth it.

    Although if your just doing cat back, you can get it from heaps of places and try doing it yourself. May seem a bit daunting if it's your first time doing something but it's fairly easy aswell as there are heaps of people on here willing to help out.

    Plus saving money on fitting costs is good aswell.

    Well that's always good, you will know more than me then ha ha. On freeway it's actually pretty good, I get a bit of drone more at lower speeds, but I'm running 2.5" cat back at the moment with no hotdogs or anything, am going to get some installed eventually.

    After header install the drone wasn't any worse, if anything slightly better, maybe because of different note or better flowing.

    Got mine from jhp in Melbourne. But there's heaps of places you can get them from, aswell as different brands. Mine is x force. I haven't heard anything else so hard to say what sounds better

    I think it was around $1100 or $1200 in stainless, probably a bit excessive in the price now, but that was the first thing I did when I started changing things so I had no idea what was a good price. This was about 8 months ago. But the service was good, I wasn't sure what I wanted so they helped pretty well. Delivery was quick too.
