Can't comment on the redback but the beaudesert is brilliant and was a huge improvement for low down torque. I needed bit more torque for towing as I was finding I would have to stretch 2nd gear to about 3500+ rpm so when I changed to 3rd I would be around 2000 rpm to pull the van. With the 2.75 beaudesert I change gears normally as the truck will pull the van from around 1600 rpm :) Huge improvement!!!
I heard these guys do a lot of R&D on their product. They found if you go 3" they had some over-boosting issues so they stuck with 2.75" , hi flow cat and muffler.
Choice of aluminised steel or stainless steel.Quote:

I've got the redback 3" on mine which I did before fitting a chip, huge difference! IMO on a forced induction car there is nothing more important than a free flowing exhaust.
Diesel is an oily fuel which means you always have an oily film in the exhaust which stops it rusting out. Stainless is overkill.
so I am wondering... if the exhaust made so much difference, why didn't Nissan themselves make the change themselves as in making it factory installed ?
Probably the noise and pollution restraints.
Jack taps here...........
Same reason engine crankcase gases are recirculated into the engines intake. Its all to keep the do gooders happy. All the restrictions placed on our motors in the last 20 years are for environmental benefits and regulations. The best thing for any motor is clean air in and exgaust air out as quick as possible to allow for more clean air in and with better flow the engine can run so much better.Quote:
