Default Supercat Exhausts

Anyone know anything about these brands of exhausts??? Got a mate from work who can get a 2.5 inch system for me from the cat back with a resinator as he used to work in the industry installing them for $154.

Cheers.

The catback system I had fitted at Radiant Exhaust is the SuperCat brand. Dunno how it compares to other brands but I noticed a small performance increase and love the sound. I paid $260 installed so at that price I'd go for it,

supercat exhausts sound awesome, they sound heaps better than redback which is what most seem to use, had a supercat system on my old EB and its now on my ED XR6, sounds mint as and gives it a good power increase aswell

Sweet this will be the road I will be heading down, my mate at works says it takes a lil time for the exhaust note to improve with these exhausts, at first they dont sound much different over standard, others find that also??

Nope. Mine was pretty loud straight off and started as a sort of burbly sound that toned down afer a while. On the way home from having it fitted, I couldnt help but give it a squirt just to hear the sound.
Make sure if you're going with a single muffler to get a resonator as well, I made that mistake first up.
