redback exhaust questions PLZ READ!!

[vt_on_20s]

hey guys i'm getting the 2.5 in straight through redback system catback. i no its got the 2 mufflers on it normally. the guy at the shop said its good because its not too loud and its good backpressure. what do i do if i want it heaps louder, like a roaring exhaust without loosing too much back pressure. do i take out the front muffler or the rear or what do i do...

Get rid of the rear resonator, should solve ur problems. I had the same setup on my VL a few years ago, got rid of the rear resonator and just got the 2.5" pipe instead, made a big difference, sounded sweet.
Same rule applies wth the VT, but it'l sound different to what a VL would obviously but if u want it louder its the better way to go.

Take the rear muffler out mate, it is to quite with the 2.. depending on what you like though.

just go full custom exhaust, Pacemaker Extractors, custom 2 1/4 to the cat, magnaflo hi-flo cat- redback muffler and straight 2.5' pipe to the back
sounds like a beast, and don't lose any back pressure so long as u got some mild engine work to go along with it.

I was in the same boat as the OP - ended up getting the redback exhaust and left the middle muffler alone - I was going to rip out out the middle muffler but thought it would be way too loud?? and attract the coppers and make my car listed as defect - not worth it??

The other option like other people said here - rip out rear muffler and keep the middle muffler if you want 'noise' but you will get drone type noise.

Edit - I am still tossing up whether to rip out the middle muffler and replace with short piece of piping as most exhaust car places will do that $60 Does the rear redback sports exhaust act as a muffler or resi?

As mostly said above. Middle and no rear will be nice, a bit drony if it's an auto. No middle and the rear left on will produce a deeper note, not quite as loud but no drone. It's all personal choice.

Anyone got sound clips of a system with no middle muffler?
