The Redline gets my vote. But only due to the Baillie tips. Combine these with the 340 system and it sounds epic.

My vote is the Holden LS3 system but I'm biased. Saying that i have installed the hsv 340kw headers/cats and intermediate pipes. Kept the holden mufflers. Here's a drive by clip with the above set-up. I love it, best of both, deeper note but still retains the crackle n pops.

Hsv system and tune, the 304 tune pops and crackles to much for me, HSV deeper note.

Nothing like a drive-by at 130 in the morning. First time I’ve heard that muffler accelerating under load and high RPM and it sounds great.
Thanks for that, static free-revs are usually poor but that all-GM combo is brill :D
Cat crackle on retard sounds almost fitting too.

My car was road tuned so don't have a number yet. Will put it on a dyno one day to see what she pulls. Overall, it drives nicer around town, part throttle is improved and overtaking is more effortless. WOT puts a bigger smile on my face. It's not a rocket ship (comparing to my previous modded subaru's) but she gets up and boogies now and I'm happier for it.
