Megan Racing catback is currently out of stock

So this Kit exhaust from Megan is out of stock and on backorder intel May, and i want to know if i order this Megan muffler and have someone make custom 2.4 pipes to connect it all would i get about the same sound as the catback kit or not?

Thanks for you time!

By "2.4" pipes, do you mean 2.4"?

You should be able to get a local exhaust shop do make you a custom exhaust that is cheaper than most of the bolt on kits.

Yes 2.4" and if they make me the custom pipes it would sound about the same as the kit?

Similar. I just waited three months to get my drift-spec exhaust. Patience is a virtue. The piping for the exhaust is 2.5"

an exhaust shop can make any size you want. you could have 3" all the way back to the inlet of the muffler where it then downsizes to 2.4". i'm just trying to give advice. it's cheaper and you can have whatever you want. i don't see the point in paying so much money for pipe. that's basically what it comes down to.
