So I'm going to get a Hytech Replica Header. I know that the header has longer tubing than my stock header, therefore eliminating my cat. I thought of a way to deal with it, but I just wanted to ask you guys if it's a good idea or not.

I plan on getting a Carsound hi-flow cat, and then customizing my own exhaust to the right size so it can fit. I also plan on buying my own muffler to put on.

So I guess my main question is, is this a good idea? I'm sure I'll be able to save some money this way, but my problem is the custom exhaust. I have heard that even though it is a cheap way to have an exhaust that will fit, but custom made exhausts are not as good as exhausts that you buy? I heard that it can rust, among other things. So can anyone help me out? I appreciate it :]

 

Just buy stainless, then bend

 

Ohh thanks!

So do stainless steel pipes work just as well as any other aftermarket exhaust pipe? Or is there some sort of special mechanic to it that I don't understand :[

Also, if anyone knows, about what length do you think I'll need to get the pipe for? :]

Thanks again!

 

A "custom" exhaust is not your only option. You can also simply select any regular exhaust you like, and then trim the length of the B-pipe in order to accommodate the longer header. It's a very simple procedure.
