I reckon the KPM 2.5" full system sounds pretty damn sweet.

Some clips found on youtube

Here is the 3" KPM
This vid makes the 3" sound much quieter than the two 3" KPM cars I have personally heard (SenatorMikes super charged senator and Wonkys cammed ute)
Sounds really good and not too loud in this vid

They used to be, I think they might actual import them now. I can't remember.

All I know is mine sounds great, but the alignment is horrible, 2 different exhaust shops tried and failed to fix it, right tips are nice and straight, left ones are all over the shop.

Can't be too critical though, the exhaust was a freebie.

I've heard that off a kpm re seller. The fitment is garbage. As bad as xforce in some cases.

personally I'd just go to the exhaust shop next door who used to make their systems then. That way you get the same product n correct fit while also cutting out KPM

I've been quoted $1750 for a 2.5" Difillipo catback. Kpm is over 2g. The difference with manta over most other systems is they run a H pipe, most systems these days run an x pipe or kiss pipe. I've heard x pipes remove rasp.

Generally speaking, if you can't use a quality muffler to get rid of the rasp, you chuck a kiss pipe in. A H pipe (or balance pipe as it used to be called) is used to equalise the pulse pressure between sides due to the non sequencial firing order of the V8. They make a sequential engine sound like **** though, that's why Ferrari's don't have a H pipe.
