This is my new cat back from Mandrel exhaust systems. Its S/S 2.5" with a 18" Magnaflow resinator and a Borla muffler. I know its been said befor but for those that dont know The stock cat back is actually only 2 1/8" at the front flang, its not easy to see in the pics but there is a piece of pipe inside it.


And this is the new one...


Heres a vid, first with the stock cat back and shorty header and then the rest are with the cat back...

wow the MBS sounds awesome.. what other mods do you have?

 

Stage 2, and shorty header. I cant bring myself to turn the radio on, its got just the right note inside but still quiet.

 

well i definitely know where i'm going for my 3" catback after hearing that lol should sound even better on my car

no offense i'm just saying 2.4 sounds> 2.0 lol less they're turboed lol but then .. well if you do apples to apples lol

 

Lol, you may be right, Ive never heard a 2.4 with a cat back on it. If you do go with MBS just make sure you have enough time to play with it to get it to fit right. I got everything lined up but the tip is now under the bumper alittle too much for me. But either way you cant beat the price for what you get.

 

yea man one of my friends got a 3" one for his 2.2 and he said there was some tweakage.. but for 200 less then anyone lol then who cares lol

hav eany more pics when it's on ?

 

Ill get some later today. Should have done it while it was on jacks.

 

thats cool man thanks alot that sounds much better then the stock system i'm shocked how is it at cruise?

what part of CT are you in? i'll be up there this weekend

 

Here are the pics of it installed.








At cruise and just regular accel its nice not loud at all but has a tone to let you know its there. when you step on it it really opens up. This is my first 4 cyl car, I was nervous but am pretty pleased with it. Im out by vernon and ellington.

 

how far from guilford is that?

 

how much did they charge for shipping? I think you sold me on this exahust.

also can you please get some more exhaust clips...I really wanna hear it some more..I can't really tell from the video thanks

 

It was 440 shipped, 30 for shipping. sure, Ill see if I can get another sound clip for ya.

Im not really sure, Id guess maybe an hour. Im about 20mins East of Hartford

 

seriously i was on the fence but i ened a 3" catback and if it sounds anywhere near as good as this.. the NOICE

 

Oh I just realized I never mentioned either way, but, I am running a stock d/p.
Are you running more than whats in you Sig? wouldnt 3" be big for 252whp?

 

well i have a 2.25 " catback now lol .. sooo i'm a little clogged up .. and i have a 2.95 pully as well as a 2.55 pulley both of which will definitely need a 3" since i have a 3.2 on now..

also we've tuned it a bit more since the dyno and added more revs so i'm probably closer to 260-270 now granted thats peak but still

 

You sold me with this post. I just ordered the same setup and i have a vibrant header/dp. Thanks alot for the great pics and vid.

 

yeah i just ordered mine too..should be shipping soon thanks for the great post

 

Installed mine today. Sounds pretty sick very deep sounding. Lovin it.
