Gday Fellas,

Got a few questions as im looking to get an exhaust pretty soon just chasing some more noise on the car. Im looking for just a loud rumble like my old VR's exhaust had it was a mecury 2 and a half catback with just a hot dog and tip no muffler

Im looking to get the exhaust of ebay because they look like they're the cheaper prices. But which brand should i go for?

Cheers

WOW Dude you got slightly ripped off. For a VS probably a Redback or Lukey... Wouldn't buy cheap exhausts off ebay, generally will sound crap.

The ones on ebay are lukeys/redbacks but which one would sound better? What gives more growl etc.

Wont lie, you kinda did get ripped nal. Ebay you can get redback exhaust $200 pacemaker heads for $500

I think redback gives a bit more of a growl then lukey. Have had redback in my last 3 cars and I can't complain. Really its down to personal choice.
