Thanks, WT. I'll give this guys at Liverpool a call or might drop this Sat as they're open.

Cpage, nice pics of ur dual exhaust. they must sound good.

I just need to get the cat done but if budget is enough to upgrade might consider a hi flow. I'll let you know what i end up later.

Got the cat replaced last week but also could not resist the hi flow muff and 2.5" steel tailpipe. It cost me $600 all up at Liverpool Exhaust. It drones a little bit in the cabin but sounds cool and I can live with it. It breaths noticeably better at higher speeds.
At first they run the one piece mandrel-bent tailpipe on a different path from the original as the bigger diameter obviously won't fit now between fuel tank and trackbar bracket (axle side). Jeep squashed the tailpipe so it won't rub (very restrictive). Where they initially put the new pipe will be squashed by the axle if it fully compress on the right side. I was't impressed about it so I had it re-worked and custom made. This time much more clearance between trackbar and corner of fuel tank but no longer in one uncut piece. I also asked them to moved the hanger so the tail can be neatly tuck higher than the rear bumper and the tip just come down nicely. Saves it from rock scrapes when coming down ledges.
So i'm happy now.

Wow, that sounds great for $600, I'm gonna call Liverpool Exhaust and book mine in today. My Cat has been rattling for nearly 5 months now (since the day I took it for a rego check to mr dodgy caltex at carlingford, he wanted me to pay him $500 just to replace tha cat, I am convinced that when he claimed to have tightened the clamp at the front of the cat he actually undid it and pried the insides loose so he could sting me for the replacement).

What sort of muffler did you get GrandJP? I have been looking at getting a flowmaster 50 but to get it all done for $600 sounds great. the flowmaster alone is $200.

What year model and colour is your GC? I want to tell them to do it just like they did yours (and for the same price of course)
