Are you planning on replacing the std system with a single 2.5" catback?

Try this guy:

http://stores.ebay.com.au/Online-Performance-Autos

I've bought heaps of stuff off him - very good to deal with.

I assume your XR has Independant Rear Suspension?

If it does, I've got a 2.5" lukey system for a 6 cyl, wouldn't cost you much to get the front modified to fit the V8 (muffler & resonator are there, pipework is cheap). The system cost $600 but I removed it after a few days because I discovered Sports systems aren't for me.

You can have it for $150. I may be able to help with transporting it to an exhaust shop too.

PM me if you have any questions

Thanks,

Adrian.
