Search the AU forum, lots of opinions, most come down to cost $$$.

Stainless will last but will also cost you $$$.
Fine if you are going to keep it for a while.

Stainless for sure. Do it once do it right.

I went custom dual 2.25 stainless setup, 100 cell cats, pacemaker tri-y headers and a x-pipe but manta do a stainless single 3 inch/ 2.5 dual for the utes.

Haven't heard it but am sure someone on here has it. People seem happy with their systems.



Dual 2.5 is $1,527.90 look around for better prices on their gear thats just their site.

Plenty of clips on youtube what a 3inch or a 2.5 dual xr8 sounds like so would be similar.

Thats for the cat back systems. For a complete upgrade you would need extractors/gaskets and a set of high flow cats.
