Does the S2008 leave the catalytic converter in place?

Yes. It is a cat-back, so it renews only the pipework and muffler behind the converter and leaves the factory cat and front pipes as they are.

Will it fit my 1988 Commodore?

It is listed to fit the Holden Commodore from 1988. Confirm your exact engine and variant with the workshop before ordering, as feeds for older cars can be imperfect.

The listed recommended retail is $279.99 (AUD). We confirm current pricing and fitting once we have matched it to your Commodore.

Redback Performance Exhaust System for Holden Commodore (08/1988 - 199 product image

Part specs

Tube Size: 063mm (2 1/2")

Listed at $279.99, the Redback S2008 is a cat-back exhaust for the Holden Commodore from 1988, supplied through SWD. It is among the more affordable performance systems we order in, covering the rear section behind the catalytic converter.

What does the S2008 actually replace?

Classed as a cat-back, the S2008 takes over the pipework and silencing from the catalytic converter rearward, so the converter and the front of the system stay exactly as Holden built them. On a Commodore of this vintage that rear section is usually the tired part — the muffler and tailpipe carry decades of heat cycling and corrosion. The supplier doesn't list a pipe diameter or material for this part, so those are matched against the kit at fitting rather than read off the listing.

Why choose a cat-back over a full system?

A cat-back is the contained option: it renews the section most likely to be worn while leaving the emissions hardware up front untouched, which keeps both the cost and the scope of work down. It changes the exhaust note over a worn factory line, though we hold no sound data for this part and won't put a figure to it. For an older Commodore that runs fine up front but rattles out the back, replacing only the cat-back is the sensible call.

Will it suit my 1988 Holden Commodore?

It is listed to fit the Holden Commodore from 1988. That is a guide rather than a guarantee — fitment feeds for cars this age can be patchy across the engines and bodies Holden offered in the period. Send us your exact engine and build and we will check the S2008 listing against your Commodore before anything is ordered through SWD.

What does fitting involve at our Illawarra workshop?

Oak Flats Muffler Men is the seller and fitter; Redback is the brand and SWD the supplier. We fit cat-back systems like this in-house across the Illawarra, comparing flanges, hangers and clearances against your Commodore on the hoist before the bay is booked. At $279.99 it is one of the cheaper rear-section restorations we handle, and we will flag any lead time if it has to come in to order.
