Go custom or Go Home

I know a kid who bought a ricer exaust can off ebay that cost 6 dollars but looks good and sounds great on his CRX. Now im not one for imports but i was wonderin if i should do like he did and buy a nice lookin fat tip and get it custom piped fo around 125$ or go with dc catback plus if i went custom would it do anything for Hp or just look decent and sound nice.

Plus I drive an 05' ls coupe loaded automatic with the sport package.

goin custum will do the same as cat back. I have a flow through design magnaflow muffler on my car and the exhuast was stepped up to 2" through the lenght of the car. same performance pretty much(my first job was in a muffler shop, and ive seen enough to know the difference) but you might get like at the most 1 hp from cat back exhuast. best thing though, i dont have the rice sound

catbacks dont really do anything, making half of the pipe bigger isnt going to stop the restriction in the pipe coming from the header that is still small

so i could go to a gym that i already have a membership to, but i just dont go to. wont pay anything, walk in, in about a month of working out have lost some weight, with no cost, and get the same amount of horsepower out of my car as if i were to spend all that money for 1 hp??? man screw tuning i will just make myself look better and make my car go faster at the same time.

take a look at the corsa catback for the 2.2, the touring sounds a tiny bit louder and deeper than stock but has less restricion on the muffler, it is 2.5inch stainless steel mandrel bent hand made and should give out around 10 hp acording to corsa. The sport is nice to but i look for more go than show and i don't want people to hear my exhaust from a mile away i would rather suprise them.
