Im getting my L77 tuned this week and I asked the guy doing it to tune the trans as well because I have heard it really makes a big diference. He kind of went "ahhh yeah, we can do that, ahh what do you want?" Some back and forth and all his answers were very vague and the price was very cheap...

I know what you are talking about, I always thought the 4 into 1 style was more of a racing header but it seems nearly all of the manufacturers only offer that style these days. Redback, Manta, Harrop, Ultrex etc all do the 4 into 1. I have Pacemakers on my Charger, I know the brand well but...

Update | Update!! Haha this is funny, I looked back into my post history and the answer is right there... I remember now, I had some trouble fitting it and came asking for help, its a Manta system! Heres the thread...

Hmm, Redback doesnt really ring a bell to be honest but it has been a while... Also, looking at all the current Redback stuff, its painted black, which mine isnt.

Not sure if this is enough to ID crossover, its a pic I already had on the phone. Is the crossover in front of the hotdogs?

Im pretty bad at keeping receipts so they have long gone. I took a couple of pics, no brand names that I can see but there is a 0715 code on the bottom of the muffler, does that help?

I put a cat back, mild steel exhaust in my series 1 VF Redline about 6 years ago, I cannot remember what I bought.... I tried to have a look the other day and couldnt see much, how can I tell if its Xforce or Manta? Its one of those 2 I think. Are there any stickers or ID anywhere? I could try...

People that make comments like yours are usually those with the least knowledge... Ive done a lot on cars, but this is the first modern car Ive ever bothered to spanner on. Ive rebuilt V8 engines, restored my 70 Triumph Bonnie, done everything you can think of my on my 72 360 Charger, rebuilt...

Is that right? I do plan on adding those and a tune + OTR after the warranty is up. Perhaps headers wont effect warranty and I can do that sooner.

Havent had a chance to post till now but yes, everything went well after I found out I could remove the metal ring "gasket". I found an air chisel easily and quickly removed it. Hopefully this thread helps someone else one day... Also I found the Manta kit very easy to install, it all bolted...

The seller says the cat flange has a "gasket" that needs removing. I dont think this is correct, heres what Im seeing at the back of the cat, theres no way I can see to get that protruding part off this flange.... Its not what I would call a gasket either.

Took delivery finally today of my new Manta exhaust, pulled all the old exhaust off and went to fit the front pipes to the cats and realised something is not right. the old system has flares on the front and the Manta has flanges, a flange cant seat to a flare, the supplied exhaust gaskets dont...

Sorry, so theres an exhaust Im guessing which has only hotdogs, at the rear? And theres one with hotdogs in the centre and full sized mufflers at the rear? So when you say the hotdog system will drone you are referring to the former? Until your post I thought the rear muffler setup was always...

I spoke to Manta today and they told me they have a "mid range" setup for my VF redline which has a hotdog in the middle. Theres also a louder one and a quieter one. The louder has no centre hotdog. I love loud but hate the idea of drone etc. How loud is this louder version? What do most...
