Exhaust Question

[nismo]

Is the GT exhaust the same as the Base exhaust? Or is there a difference? I know there's a difference between the base and the awd base. Inder Singh

Its the same from what I have seen between my friend Juliana's 03GT and my 04 base.

[AKLGT]

there is an extra hangar on the GT, but any muffler shop can weld that on. forget who it was who had a base and then traded it in for a GT right after he got his magnaflow exhaust.

So, I can get a GT exhaust on my vibe? Thanks.Inder Singh

actually they are different. the bolt holes are a little off on the flanges you wouldnt be able to tell by looking at it. some people have made them fit though.

[nismo]

So, it's not worth tryin to force it on then. right? Inder Singh

Sorry about that.

Magnaflow is the way to go Base or GT.

[nismo]

Yeah. I'm thinkin either magnaflow or borla. still haven't heard the borla. so, like to hear it. would be nice. i already heard the magnaflow from redlava's. sounded pretty nice.inder singh

I've always thought custom would be the way to go, you can pick up a 2-3 inch full cat-back out of mandrel bent steel for 90$ if you do your shopping right, and you can get a good muffler for another $100 or so. It all comes down to looking around for what you really want instead of accepting one of either a Borla or Magnaflow pre-chosen packages (IMO)I had such a custom 2 1/2 exhaust on my Vibe and was very happy with it.

[nismo]

yeah. make a good point. from what i've noticed, a lotta places round my house are crooks. don't trust em. i got a question. where would u get mandrel bent pipe?

[Fialchar]

Mandrel-bending is just a way to bend the piping (to make it fit) that won't put any tears or kinks in it. It should be available at a lot of the exhaust or muffler shops. Ask around to see if they carry it or not.

[nismo]

okzy. cuz i can get the welding done from my buddies dad. he welds for a living. so, it shouldn't be that expensive.inder singh

[Fialchar]

Cool ^^If he welds for a living, you could probably get an upgraded exhaust system for much cheaper that way

[nismo]

i guess i'll find out. i called my friend and told em to ask his dad for me. so, yeah. we'll see what happens

[Fialchar]

Cool, good luck.

[nismo]

yeah, thanks.inder singh
