ok... here is what i think... quit thinking in brands... all a cat-back is, is larger pipes AFTER the cats! buy whatever is cheap... dont like the sound? cut off the muffler and weld on a different one... at that price you can also do a bolt on muffler setpu and change it to mach whatever you feel like that morning... loud and big? bolt it up, small but aggressive? mount it! subtle yet dramatic? throw it on there... whatever your looking for... dont let price being two low stop you... this is not a vital piece... technically you can run without one on... just bolt something up for inspections... price should not stop you from buying pipes, because thats all your doing with a cat-back system... this is NOT true for headers and downpipes... as these are functional pieces that serve a real purpose for the car. you have heard people say over and over again... tsudo is a good system and a great price! so stop pussyfooting around and just buy it! am i right? STIMULATE THE ECONOMY! MOD YOUR CAR!
I can only seem to find Tsudo for honda. anyone wanna throw a link my way

Also you are just buying a brand name when it comes to these cars,Now if u had a 5.7L and wanted a good catback to see good gains id suggest a high performance catback since you can actually gain 15hp or so pretty easy.
how would buying this

with a borla muffler compare to buying the gmpp performance exhaust? also it doesnt come w a resonator so what kind would i use
also i was thinking to get 2.25 piping since im only a LS with just a intake. would getting 2.5 make any difference

price will most likely be close... as far as 2.25 vs 2.5... your not really gonna see much of a difference... though if you plan to boost your car later you may want to go with a 2.5... (im not boosted yet, but that is a large enough pipe for MOST applications from what i have heard. correct me if im wrong)
yes it was lol. but its all true... brands do not really matter on a cat-back system lol. link to a tsudo exhaust on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/07-20...Q5fAccessories

o ok. that makes sense lol. enjoy your future purchase!
yeah. i have the money just choose to save it till i have a job to cover the purchase of my exhaust so im not out 700 dollars now im just thinking if getin the mandrel bent exhaust one from
that site with a borla muffler and have them add the resonator for 70 more is a better investment than the gmpp exhaust. wouldnt it sound the same? or is buying the gmpp better?

the mandrel one will be stainless and it has the borla mufler already welded on. and you pay 70 bux more for the resonator and they say they can add it on. so if i was to do that would it still be bolt on or would i have to weld a flang on?
