Which exhaust.. Beaudesert or Redback ?

[Ronin]

I am looking to hear from people who have installed either of the two exhausts.

reason being that I am looking for some extra bit of power and milage out of my brand new bog standard GU. From reading the forum I figured the exhaust is the first mod I should look into.

Would chipping it be a better start mate?? Similar money and probably better performance gains than a straight swap of the exhaust.

Others would have better input on this but either way, good luck with it.

An exhaust and Chip will see you with a BIG smile on your face mate

LOL Scottie we were on it mate! I'd probably be thinking the Chip first too if the funds can only do one or the other.

Both and then a good Dyno is a Winner mate. think about a Pyro gauge before the Dyno if you go down that path.

I'm currently saving up for a SS 3" beaudesert exhaust. Finished doing my research into it and have moved on to other things but the decision was this & I looked into a lot, and there are a lot lol.

Im new to the world of Patrols but have been into cars for yrs and id be looking at the exhaust first as if you get the tune right and then change the exhaust ull be having to start over again. Im also looking at upgrading my exhaust so id be interested to see what ppl have to say.

Haha - some saying about "great minds think alike"!! I prefer the option that "fools rarely differ"!!! lmao

Yep, both if the funds allow for it - the some extra money for napkins to catch the after effect of the install (drool)! lol

bought 2 3/4 the exhaust for my 2008 and absolutey love it! by far the best mod i have done and had i have bought the system first i would not have bought the chip also went the beaudesert and there was a bit of drama which i won't go into..... ok here's what happened, the blokes that pack it for shipping actually put the wrong tail pipe in and they sent me a 3" rear tail pipe to suit the 4.2l ute which mine is a 3l wagon. anyway rang them and they said to take the truck to a local bloke to have the 3" end modified to fit then they would send the right one out (which they did) at the time i was supposed to drive to work the next day so i had to miss the first 2 hours. beaudesert gave me back the money for the mod, payed me for the 2 hours work i missed and sent the correct part and i also left the 3" end on it because it looks better! i can't say enough about the guys at beaudesert and it was a very easy DIY install.......GO BEAUDESERT! cheers....

I own a 2006 4.2 intercooled st tray back and recently fitted a beaudesert exhaust and noticed a marked improvment in fuel economy and more importantly power would recommend to all. And quite easy to fit

Honestly. What would make one of those two brands said to be the better? Say if they were both 3inch and mandrel bent? Nothing... Stainless steel? I see no point, but its up to what you like, you can't really see it anyhow. The only real factor I could think of is the Cat, whether it's guts are ceramic or metallic and maybe the muffler. Other than that your just paying for a brand name.
But I have a 3inch Redback system I got for $900 and I fitted it myself. Much cheaper than whats advertised in Ebay...I went through all this rigmarole too and just went to my local zorst shop and he sorted me out good with the system I have now.

Good luck.
