Default what do you people think

i had an idea...i was looking at the thermal cl cat back exhaust for my crx...and i was thinking if i cut the stock muffler so i can take out the insides and throw in a canister exhaust inside the stock one so you cant see it...but still have the sound of 1....and change the tip so its bigger....anyone know what i mean...what do you think of that idea...instead of paying 500

Why not just buy the thermal and paint it all flat black.

either buy piping from kteller and make it yourself...or get a muffler shop to make u a system...way cheaper than getting a premade system...just make sure u use a resonator...sounds way better with a resonator than without one...my .02

ud rather cheap out and save 30 bux to get a poor quality piece that is not gonna last very long...or spend a little extra money and get a quality piece that will last the life of ur exhaust system..

do whatever u want bro...im just trying to help you out...the 30 bux i was talking about only pertains to the cost of the resonator not the whole system....
i still stick by my original statement...go custom it is cheaper in the long run and u can choose exactly how u want ur exhaust to sound....

speedd -- i've got an ebay exhaust on my car (i didn't buy it, car came with it). It's not so bad, stainless front to back, and supposedly the guy only paid like 2 or 3 hundred bucks for it (headers alone usually cost that much). -- it's stainless steel... so it's not like it's going to rust off in 4 years.

--- then again i wouldn't be surprised if a weld busts loose on the header some day... but i bet it will be in the junkyard before then.

edit: just don't think it's going to pass emissions... the "cat" is just a straight tube... the O2 sensor is in the wrong place, etc...
