The aftermarket 4x4 accessories world is always overwhelming with choice as more companies try to establish themselves within Australia. The reason we decided to fit a Redback Extreme Duty exhaust to this Nissan Navara is that they are one of the oldest, most trusted & reviewed 4WD Stainless Steel exhaust systems. Proudly Australian made, Redback 4x4 exhausts are manufactured in their Melbourne based factory. As we all know with age comes wisdom, when installing this exhaust system we could tell Redback have been developing their technology over 30 years to keep up with the advancements in aftermarket car accessories as installation went without a hitch.  

From what we could see the key features are: 

  • The 3-inch Mandrel bent pipework with 4-Bolt flanges  

  • Choice of Resonator, Muffler or straight through pipe 

  • 409 grade stainless steel  

  • Premium Heat-Proof Paint Protection  

  • Pressed Fire Ring Gaskets  

  • Premium welds, joinery, and mandrel bends 

The Redback exhaust systems feature an interchangeable muffler design which means that you have multiple sound & flow options when taking on off-road tracks. We chose this exhaust as all Redbacks products come with modular components, including a straight pipe option, resonator, or large muffler. These can easily be swapped in and out after the exhaust has been fitted to your 4x4 if your desired needs change over time, which was perfect for the owner of the vehicle. We had this 4x4 up on a hoist and two professional fitters working from underneath, which means it was done in just under an hour. That certainly helped the process and peace of mind that it was done properly, but for the slightly more experienced DIYer you could just as easily fit it at home in the garage with some basic hand tools and a free afternoon. 

All Redback 4x4 Exhaust Systems are made from mandrel bent, 409 grade Stainless Steel. This grade of stainless steel is strong, reliable and will facilitate a great exhaust note. The resonator and mufflers are made from higher quality, 304 grade steel which is stronger and promotes rust resistance under high heat and salty conditions. In our experience - it certainly slows the process. Our driver regularly goes beach driving and will hopefully notice a difference in quality after just a few months. To top it all off, each exhaust is coated with a protective, heat resistant paint to ensure strength, longevity, and durability in off road conditions. Redback 4x4 Exhausts are built tough and all come with a 10 year warranty, all while remaining competitively priced. 

So, what is the result? 

  • Clear difference in sound quality between the stock exhaust and the Redback system.  

  • Slight increase in power & torque 

  • Stronger and corrosion resistant steel
