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. |

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
