Engineered specifically for AU models equipped with Independent Rear Suspension (IRS), this centre muffler is a core component of the Redback performance exhaust range. Constructed from 63mm (2 1\/2\") mandrel-bent tubing, it facilitates superior exhaust gas velocity and reduces backpressure on 4.0L Inline 6-cylinder Intech and VCT engines.
