Redback 200cpsi metal high flow round body cat. but since im on my p plates i havent put it on yet.
but this 2.5inch redback catback system just alone by itself has a mean meaty note to it. 2 mufflers. im loving it. stainless oval tip. worked out pretty good. plus the jacks are bastards in this area.

Yeah, I thought considering how much he was paying would want to make sure he atleast had a metal core one and wasn't competely getting a** raped.

$480 installed isn't what i'd call getting a** raped. Wasting money on the cat is kind of like a** raping your self though.

Make money for exhaust manufacturers. the only reason I can see for putting in a metal cat is when you are throwing alot more power through an exhaust, and need to upsize. I'm still running stock cats on my XR8. I will only upgrade if they collapse, otherwise it isn't work spending the money on then IMHO.

The I6 falcons on the other hand have a pretty decent factory cat and unless it blocked it's a waste of time and money replacing it. Even more so if your only plans for the car is an exhaust, headers and intake. |

pacemaker 4480's or 4499's next? once i get a bit of dosh that is. the car now sounds off chops even with the rear resinator on. love it
the bloke highly recommended redback or lukey exhausts for the EF's n EL's and he's spot on. always got that spare cat if i need it atleast.
