My TL sedan is in need of some exhaust work, (cat back) where can I get good work at good prices in Southern Adelaide ?
Midas quoted $700, Franks Towbars quoted $480 for just replacing the boxes.
Lastly should I opt for a "Redback" system or stick to standard ?
Thanks :)

Walk away from those prices!
Paid $179 for Redback centre section and $179 for Walker rear muffler. Date = 11/7/2013, so probably a bit more expensive now. I didn't specify a make, just took what they could get.
Just went to my local car parts shop, they had to be ordered in. Supercheap or any mechanics shop would be able to get them in for you.
Simple DIY job. Lube the rubber doughnut hangers with silicon spray and they slide right off.
(Just replacing the boxes doesn't work - on the centre section it is the resonator that rusts through on the end plates so it might work there, but on the rear, it is the pipe at the top of the curve over the suspension that rusts through.)
EDIT: just realised the above info is for my TJ, not TL. They both needed a new cat back system at the same time, strangely enough. Same situation on the TL though, price wise.
