From CAT towards engine, they branch into 2 pipe stems, with 3 pipes on each stem, all different lengths, but pretty straight.

Does this help?

3. Put Pacies on with Hi-flo CAT (kept previous sports system) - note changed, a bit droney & loud, response seemed more sluggish


what pacies did you have put on? 4499 or 4480??

the 4499 would result in a bit of dowyness right down low, as they are more of a mid range and over item.

the 4480 will give you back you down low


I think I've definitely got 4499's, as they seem to perform really well in the mid-high rev range.

But, if I'm getting an RPD Stage 2 cam (power in 2000 - 5500 rev range) ...then the 4499's would be better suited anyway, is that right?

I'll see what the Performance guys say, and see how my exhaust system fares with the new cam...

I had the same drone probs with mine but the note changed with the cam change so wait till the cams in before spending too much time on it.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking ...what sort of note change did you get, better or worse?

Thanks mate.
