Brought a System for my GU 4.8L from manta pro. Headers/cat/3" system. sounds fucken disgusting. they failed to tell me there is only 1 muffler under car and straight pipe over diff to the back of car.
drones like you wouldn't believe. Called them up and got a new centre section made up. 3" pipe with a 2.5" muffler. sounds much better at idle, but thats about it.

They then said fit a hotdog at rear of car and will fix it, didn't think it would work but went ahead and got one put in anyway. sounds the same. they reckon cant get a muffler in the rear section as its tight. they have a factory rear muffler though. before i remove and throw it in the bin, chasing someone that doesn't have the " too hard/too tight/cant be fucked trying" attitude and try put a proper muffler at the rear.

Any Recommendations? im in baldivis but keen to travel to get it sorted out.

Cheers

Guy @ Carline in Port Kennedy, next to Indoor Beach Volleyball Centre does decent work & will probably be able to help. Just gotta be lucky to cath the pingpingpingping as he likes to knock off early!

Big Kev at Mettams Belmont is pretty handy, and cheap. lots of knowledge between him and brian there, and brian is a fussy pingpingpingping, so if you ask for something that won't drone, it won't drone.

Fuel economy is still shit, might just get a new standard setup. went to 3 shops before i flew back to work, and all the same answer. went back to Manta and said its fucked, guy reckons its fine. got another 2.5" hotdog to fit at rear and see how that go's.
