quick question about AU1 exhaust? what kind

[big_fletch]

i have a AU1 with the good old standard exhaust. want a new exhaust from the cat back but dont know what kind to get? looking for some thing that gives a nice rumble when cruising but also something loud when i take off from lights. i have heard Redback 2.5" are good, but should i get a straight tail (hotdog) or a resinator? any other brands ect?
any help would be great
thanks chris

P.S im looking around and been told i will need to spend around roughly $450-500

With a hotdog or no rear resinator it will drone, but give you what your after..
Redback are a common move by people looking for a catback system.
Your price bracket isnt too far off.. $450 or less i'd be happy with.

Why are exhausts so expensive?..

i had a 2.5" lukey mandrel bent exhaust on my e-series.. and it cost like less then 180 bucks or so...

just a 2.5" catback will set u back no more than $450 ... but for better sound go extractors ;)

i have a 2.5 redback system with straight tail pipe. It is perfect for what your after. Doesn't really drone...only when ur starving the car of revs. My car is also a manual soo auto would probably drone abit more

for noise and not THAT much performance difference
go a 2.5" press bent item
it will cost you less than $300 cat back

i got a lukey system with a hotdog (2.5" mandrel bend) for 270. that was mates rates though. i got quoted as high as 420. sounds good to me and doesnt drone.

redback system with a good set of headers you can't go wrong these systems are dyno developed so perform ( and sound ) great

avoid press bent systems they aren't worth the effort. sure they are cheap but they are cheap

I got a 2.5 inch lukey. $200 installed.

that sounds like a more respectable price...

maybe zorsts are just a rip off down south....??

altho irs systems would be more expensive i'd imagine
