Hey guys ,

Im getting my exhaust done on moday and was quoted just under $1k for Hurricane mandrel bent extractors , LS1 CAT (few thou K's old) , and a choice of a 2.5" Mercury mandrel bent ready made car back (with resonator) OR Redback 2.5" cat back system redy made - not sure if its mandrel bent , anyone know if it is?.

My question's are -
A) am i getting ripped?
B) What would you get , the mercury or red back (sound and quality wise).
C)will this system be loud enough - but at the same time not to quite?

ive searched the forums first but couldnt find much...


Thanks
James :s6:

Hi All
I have been looking at getting a 2 1/2" redback exhaust with pacemaker extractors. I have called afew places and the best i could find was $720. Is this a good price. Is it worth getting a hi flow cat for another $240 or will it be a waste of money.

I personally have no experience with redback or murcury, but near $1k seems a little steep.
(even though thats what i spent on mine :doh: )
Just keep ringing around, some places give different quotes on different days aswell :)

thanks for the reply EFJase
The next cheapest quote was 1200 and then 1500 big ones so i just assumed just under 1k was good...
