OZFORDAU · 06-06-2006, 10:01 PM

Hey All,

This is all thanks to G&D! They did an awsome job and they are awsome guys to deal with, i highly recomend them! :sm_headba

Cheers

Simon :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

If the ss/r8 have a decent exhaust system you might think otherwise when they put their foot down! Iv been in a ss with a exhaust system and to be honest well the old Inline 6 just can't compete with a v8.

Its great you finally got an exhaust just wait till you get some extractors and it will sound twice as good again!

Good Work Simon, how much did it set you back?

Sorry Mate I think your Mate was just being nice to you. As there is no way a AU 6 with a off the shelf Redback is going to sound better then either a ford or Holden 8. with a exhaust. nothing beats the V8 rumble :1syellow1

P.s Im sure it sounds really nice tho

Hey Shan,

I got it fully installed with a gas tune for $324! It's a second hand exahust off Krissy's (FRDGAL_AU6) car! But the exhaust is so close to brand new its not funny...It had only done under 2,000kms if that i think! It's mint as!

Cheers

Simon

Well the R8 prob sounded a little better, but we tested them whilst they were standing still and mine sound much deeper and had a nice burble then the SS!

I guess we'll see how they both compare wen there on the road! But i know mine sounds sweet inside n out haha!

But like i said to my mates parents it's a totally diffrent ball game....V8's Verses I6.............

Cheers

That's a very good price, even for second hand. Mine was $350 new, but I had to fit it myself (easy as), and I didn't get a tune.

Mine has the extra resonator at the back though, to quiten it down (it's on the family wagon, after all), but still sounds good. And I know what an I6 sounds like with no muffler (in fact no system at all apart from pacemaker extractors - bl0ody loud!), so I can imagine that with a single muffler, it must sounds pretty nice.

Not as nice as my XR8 with single 3" and one muffler, but nice nonetheless.

Good work - is the car running well now?

Yeah it's not idling as rough as it used to, but i think the problem could be in the converter or something like that! It sill wont start on gas!

hey simon, i have the egas model falcon with the converter and i have extractors. and the fitted without even touching the converter. i have pacemaker ph4499's.
i just modded the heat sheild, like severely cut it back so it just protects the converter but wont cook or overheat the extractors. look into it mate

Awsome stuff, was urs intalled for $350 as well?

Duffman · 07-06-2006, 10:32 PM

I got a redback exhaust (2 years ago) and it costed $190 installed then an extra $70 for the twin tip. Its got the redback sticker on the muffler and all.

Exhausts seem to have taken a sharp price hike. Iv actually still got the receipt here for it, its from jack beedhams.

phildee · 08-06-2006, 07:14 AM

A place in geelong still does them for $250 fitted I beleive, thats what I paid in October last year. My tip was $100 but that was done later on at another place

DailyDriver · 08-06-2006, 01:08 PM

My SS has an exhaust upgrade, a V6 can't match it. I'm planning on getting Pacemaker headers and Lukey exhaust for the I6 so I'm hoping it will sound half as good as my SS.

I was told by JMM that they use different mufflers on their cat back system than on the Red Back
I would reckon that they are made to their specs by Manumatic who Manufacture the Red Back and other OEM systems

Is that legal to do, and do you had any issues with it?

Baboon_AU · 09-06-2006, 05:16 PM

hey smoked, i haven't had any issues with it and the converter has to be hot anyway...remeber it gets its heat from the hot water hoses from your radiator.

i am quite positive it is leagal to have your converter next to extractors. if that was illegal then i would imagine having a standard setup would be illegal also.

and i have a semi heat sheild covereing them so even if cops do see them, i am not fussed

mattp · 09-06-2006, 05:32 PM

I got a quote today for a single muffler 2.5 system (redback) from jack beedham for $210 fitted, so that's only 20 bucks more than duffman paid a couple of years ago. I guess some things haven't gone up that much. Anyone got any experience with hurricane or hi-tech extractors, also got a quote for them, $350 installed. Sounds pretty good to me.

Ok. I ask because a member here has been trying to get something similar and according to him, this kind of setup is illegal within NSW. Cheers for your response.
