Ok back on topic, anyone running a RB's as per my link. I can get this for around 900 landed and this is Stainless Steel, looks good and has better acoustics IMHO. I want the mid pipe as I do t won't a cherry bomb "kevtastic" sound. (uk word for boy racer)

Allowing about $200 for freight and including GST and customs clearance it still works out under a grand.
$650 quoted for freight today, that's that one off the list. RB's still looking the best option

$1000 for an exhaust? What a rip off!
I have put a mandrel bent exhaust on every car I have owned, and have never paid more than $600 for it.

Here is my $.02
Head to your local car parts shop, buy a length of 2 1/4 inch mild steel pipe, a combination bend, and mufflers/resonators to suit.

Take these bits to a workshop you trust, and ask them to build you a system.

I can get you a good deal on pipe/mufflers, and can point you in the right direction of a good shop to do it. You will need to pay for flanges, and labour, that is it. Shouldnt take any more than 2-3 hours labour.
Add a set of extractors into the mix and you will be humming!
