That is a very good price IMO... I paid $350 just for the same system (V8 spec though) and had to install it myself.
The twin muffler redback system is a very quiet system that sounds like stock only slightly louder. I got sick of it very quickly, and cut the rear muffler out... Still a quiet system, but a much deeper note, with very little drone.

Make sure it's mandrel bent - at that price, it sounds like a press bent system using redback mufflers only. But if it is mandrel bent, that's a great price.

Ok thanks...will do...yeah sounded like a alright price...other places wanted $350. Said it would take only 40min to an hour to fit.
Yeah i dont want an overly loud system just a nice note and a bit more breathing.

I have a 2.5" catback Redback twin muffler system (mine was an absolute bargain at $80 second hand), and it sounds tough without being too loud. This is how I like it. It doesn't drone at all. It's mainly when you take out the rear muffler that they start droning.
