Custom Exhaust need help deciding

Post by SuperSpeedWagon »

Ok guys a buddy of mine offerd to buy me an exhaust but I want to do a custom one I just dont know what type of muffler to get or the exhaust size (piping) cause I dont want a ricer sound you know??? I want something deep and mean sounding when I take off. Also catalytic suggestions??? if I should get a high flow cat or just leave it off... Please need your help and opinions I could use everything I got.... post up videos of how they sound and pictures of what type of stuff I should get.... mufflers, cats, etc.... Thanx guys and gals hahah

Jorge, I have been thinking on what to do with my exhaust lately also. And dude, check out this pic:http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...7.jpgIt's a custom mid pipe made by JP performance. Lancer is the one that introduced it to me. It has two resonators and one high-flow cat. *drule* It also is completely welded and everything to scale, so all u have to do is replace it with ur old mid-pipe. No hassle. However, according to Lancer, it's around $500. Might be a bit 2 much 4 me. lolHope this helps though

Whatever you do, DON"T CHOP OFF THE RESONATOR!!!!!! You WILL get the ricer sound. I know, I did it. It is quite a bit ouder, which is what I wanted, but I often get that dreaded tin-can sound I didn't want.

I have been talking with a bunch of gear heads in my office and I think Im going to go with a Borla when the time comes. Nothing against Magnaflow, just from what Im hearing Borla has been making these things a lot longer and for some reason I have found their systems to be cheaper in most cases vs Magnaflow.
