hey yea ive got a lukey 2.5" cat-back on my vr and im pretty pleased with it:D nice exhaust note and better performance, but there is a bit of a "drone" noise around the 2500-3000rpm mark, but i dont really mind it. ive also just put on a KnN high flow air filter, which added a little more of an exhaust note aswell. hope this helps

I think the Lukey's sound better.
But i've only ever heard a Redback system on a V8, not a six.

lukey for sure...much more r&d goes into their product and as already said they sound alot better than other brands....a little bit of droning is the price you pay for having a freer lowing exhaust, only way to really quiten that up is to put another resi on.

Yeah, I've got a Lukey and I like the noise... drone mentioned as above but it doesn't happen for long when accelerating and you have the option of winding up the windows or turning up the stereo. The performance is great too!
