DG,

BA mk1 stock system is twin 2 1/4" pipes from cat back mate.

Metal cat 3.5" s/s metal packed internals. my exhaust shop ordered it in in a day mate...

3.5" to twin 2 1/4" Xforce splitter was $70 supplied & fitted

As for how it sounds it sounds, sweet!

burbles and has a nice and deep note, doesnt drone but I have been taking it easy since no custom tune at the present time.

Dont worry DG I looked around for a while first, didnt like the systems on offer so had this built up to be different and I am happy I did it, really happy with the results so far..

Cheers

Ryan

Yep cheers Ryan, I might give the exhaust shop a call tomorrow and give it a go, how about crawling underneath and taking some hot shots for us.

Cheers again Dg

Verdict, Love it! :stirthepot: all flanged connections for easy removal

Not good if you have a headache though :crybaby:

Kudos to RAP1D Systems for the rear milo tin set up and Kirrawee Mufflers for the excellent craftsmanship and price ( 02 9542 4111)

No offense taken mate, we decided to use the 3.5" pipe to twin 2 1/4" splitter further back to hopefully avoid any serious flow restrictions/back pressure issues. No point in putting in a high flow cat then strangling it straight away into smaller pipes. Still expecting over 300 kw with this set up on about 13psi so we will see I guess

Adam,

I wanted the whole front section as one piece mate hence no flange, easier to drop out of the way to do any work etc

I've got a 3.5" MetalCat too. Can anyone tell me the symptoms of a collapsed/dead cat so I can look out for them?

Cheers :spoton:
