is it worth the $$$ to get the full Magnaflow cat back exhaust or just to cut and weld in a Magnaflow muffler...correct me if im wrong but the stock exhaust piping looks to be mandrel bent from the factory??..

 

muffler you'll tank me later

 

just grab a flat head screwdriver and punch holes on your stock muffler.

 

ahaahaah. I took mine off completly felt a millions times better but the sound oh lord the sound. its wasn't the actuall sound but the amount of air the car was trying to move that was loud.

 

go for the full cat-back, its worth it

 

You should make a poll, i say cat back

 

Couple threads out of the 2.0 Performance section that might help your decision (we have the same stock exhaust):

Personally, I'm just going to pick up a Magnaflow muffler, some mandrel U bends and get a shop to replace the 2.25 section.

 

if the exhaust is 2.5 stock no need in getting an aftermarket system with the same diameter piping

replace the cat, replace the resonator, replace the 2.25" section from the axle back and the muffler and be on your way.

thats about a $300 option vs $500+ for most production exhausts

or you can go to a local shop and see what they can do for you, a place by me will do 2.5" piping for $200

 

my axle back exhaust cost me a grand total of $160. Go custom and put the saved money else where

 

full catback

 

I'm gonna suggest custom for the $$$ savings.
