Just wondering...
I know a lot of you guys have a redback exhaust. In terms of comparison I've been quoting around and Daalder Exhausts have been stressing to me that Cobra Exhaust systems are better than redbacks.. and I've been quoted $650 installed from one place and $433 from another place. Just wondering which one would you go for out of these two. Talking typically on a standard 2.5 inch cat-back mandrel bent exhaust. Mark |

I'd go redback, and install it myself (no welding required - all bolt up stuff) for under $400. In fact not only would I go for that option, I did.

pretty much everyone on here has a redback exhaust i believe that must speak pretty loudly right? and thats what i was originally told i would be getting... until i found out that nobody really produces performance exhaust for Egas utes so i got some sorta custom one or something.

In what way is the Cobra supposed to be superior to others? Are they stainless steel? If so go for the stainless system as it will last longer than a mild steel system In the end its just an exhaust pipe as long as it is 2.5 inch and mandrel bends and good quality straight through mufflers then I recken whatever you choose will be fine Cheers Autocade |
