I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or if you're just stupid.


I use to run redback extractors, a manta cat and a lukey 2.5" with a mid muffler and rear muffler. Sounded great in the car, sounded like arse when you were on the side of the road as it drove past.

2.5inch cat back with a Glass pack style muffler gives it a deeper note.

Depends what sound you're going for. Pace's are a bit more deeper noted to the hurricanes, but that because said, it depends on the exhaust aswell. You could just take the rear resi off and it'd be **** loud, but that's exactly what it is - **** and loud.

Hurricane is better money spent. Pacies cost $200 more and no matter how you try unless you're doing serious mods can you justify that cost for little/no gains. (y)

Me personally i don't stray from pacemakers but thats just my opinion. Go with the hurricane to save the wallet, keep the standard cats or one's of a similar nature and single 2.5inch cat back with both resonator and silencer. That's exactly the same system i ran on my old wagon and it had a very nice note and didn't drone. Also if your looking for a bit of extra fuel economy put a mace engineering cold air intake on it. If you have the spare money to spend its a worthwhile mod to save the wallet in the long run
Hope this helps
