I need an exhaust

So I have a stock exhaust and somethin is rattling. I took it to a exhuast shop and they said its somethin rattling inside the exhaust and they would have to take my whole exhaust apart to get it. So I'm thinking why do all that, I minds well get a aftermarket exhaust. What size is good for a catback? 2.5 all the way back? And what a good exhuast but cheap?

I am looking to buy an exhaust too, but I have researched some threads here. Is your car stock??? If it is u should get 2.5" from front to back. I heard Megan Racing sounds nice, loud but nice. Also if your looking to really hook ur car up then go for 3", but only if ur going to give it a couple of mods that will get u to 260whp. If not it's a loss of power for u, so I'd suggest stay with the 2.5" Good Luck

The pacesetter is kind of loud and not the best sounding, but it doesnt sound awful either. I actually have one that I would sell if you are intersted. Let me know after you do some more research. I will say this though, when it comes to catbacks you really do get what you pay for.

I just got my hahn and love it, but it was hard getting myself to spend that much for it.

Ill sell the pacesetter for $120 shipped if youd like. Ill let you know this though, right now there is an electric cutout in the first pipe right after the downpipe. If you want the cutout too you can have it all for $200 shipped, or I can put the piping back in and have it for the first price I mentioned. Ill get pics and a video up in an hour or so since I have a class to go to quick

That's sounds cool I don't want the cutout tho. Not right now. Will that catback bolt straight up to my stock downpipe?

Yeah you can put a resonator on it. Without the res I liked in on my stock header and downpipe, but when I got the vibrant combo the pacesetter was too loud for my liking. I have a video that I took with the stock resonator and the the rest of the pacesetter exhuast. Ill post it up quick let me find it.

Idk. Infaredline gave me a good price. I'm not looking to spend any arm and a leg. I got a family to buy gifts for. The only reason I'm getting a catback is becuase my stock exhaust. Somethin is rattling inside of it. Rather to pay to have that fixed. I will just get a aftermarket one

I think I've decided to go the custom route. I just need to talk to local shops, see who can do it. Just buy what muffler and resonator I want and have them fab up the piping. I can't see myself dropping over $600 on new catback. That's recockulous.
