My Lukey system cost just over $500 in my old FE LTD... as it was custom... so you are getting ripped off...

Whats the main difference between Redback and Lukey Cat back systems, other than the muffler(s) and resonator(s)?

they're about the same, just different sounds, lukey has more of a rough growl, look on the carline website to hear it.

Exactly got in in one crazy, everybody has a particular sound they want and hardest part is finding that sound you want.

When my red back was put in, i thought it was a little soft, but the sound is great!

Now with my cam... Sounds fantastic! You should see the looks that i get, lol. It doesnt sound all that loud inside, but it must be noticeable, cuz i always get people looking around.

I really need to get my side door repaired, so the car looks decent when people look at it, lol
