Can anyone help me?!
I have just bought a lok km's 200 Th magna, lowered it with 17's and my problem is with the cat back redback exhaust system. It gives a great note and next to no cabin drone but the tow bar that is fitted hits the tip and thus i had to bend it, bash it and now it is almost square and looks crap.

Any solutions? redback cant help and a single outlet pipe isnt made on the left of the muffler, instead of the right.

mmm. who fitted the exhaust? i recently had a fun time with red back after they sent the wrong exhaust to the place where i was getting it fitted their responce was " yes weve had complaints before " didnt really seem to care that much. i would take it back to where it was fitted or ***** and moan to redback.. was the tow bar fitted when the exhaust was put on or was the exhaust on first??

There are other brands of aftermarket muffler available that can substitute. However, you may be able to get clearance by changing the muffler mounts to get the tip away from the bar arms? Need pics to see the damage.

Hey...
Thanks for your advise and what would you recommend? I have thought of Lukey mufflers or even a cannon style muffler but not many firms are happy to fit cannon mufflers.
If you own an exhaust shop I would be happy to hear about alternatives and even happier to purchase them through you.

Let me know

i agree. Just had a look at a readers ride with a cannon and it looked pretty sad.
The guy who fitted the muffler is a good mechanic but had to butcher the pipe and now it is almost square due to having to squash it to clear the towbar support bar.
Looks sh*t but doesn't effect performance. Sounds great. Almost BMW M3 good...subtle but smooth.
if it fitted right, or if you dont have a towbar, it is a great catback system.
