For my ute it was going to cost me $310 for a lukey system, $325 for a redback, or the third choice was custom and it cost me $200 trade price. I went custom and am very happy with it. Just need a new cat as the old one is dead, guts fell out bout a thousand k's ago, real feral/bns note to it now though

yeah see , i was thinking maybe a custom but then again the only thing holding me back is they might press bend the pipes !!! it's happen to me before and its taken 3 trips back to fix the small little leaks that appear !!!!
Still unsure ??? |

I had to get custom ... as the off-the-shelf system does accomodate the twin LPG tanks under the ute ... so it had to be made to clear the shield by a certain measurement, etc.
Mine was $300 fitted including tip for a cat-back 2.5"

Prefer custom as they tuck it up alot nicer when lowered and a good place will sort it out to what you prefer ie tips how load at idle/highway/ launch etc..

i had a press bent 2 1/2" exhaust, and it had mandrel bends over the diff. i just swapped to a 2 1/2" redback exhaust. i am very happy with the note. It appears the exhaust is flowing better as well.
