    What do you think?
    Considering a Lukey or Redback system including extractors etc.. Worth the cash?
    Cold air intake, hi flo filter and restrictor removed already..

    Definately worth the cash and with the existing mods i would also look at a larger throttle body, manifold insulator and high ratio roller rockers if you can afford them.

    how'd it sound? I'm kinda new to this and have a vague idea, a few friends have lukeys that i like the sound of. I've been told i can smash this innards of my cat for better flow or just run a pipe to match the exhaust ect.. But I think I'd prefer to leave the stock or get a hi flo

    It is part of the options above when you reply where you can insert a video, just hover your cusor over the icons until you find the one that says "insert video"

    Redbacks are bad for drone to. I had a redback system and it was raspy and sounded crap.
