Default Finally got my "Cadillac" converter installed!!

I was running a cat less exhaust because my OEM manifold cracked. Replaced it with a generic header so my exhaust was really raspy at 3000-3200RPM. Anyways, I went out and got a Megan Racing M-OE muffler and got it installed with a Magnaflow high flow cat, and 2.25" piping. I did feel a slight loss of power at 0-4000RPM, but after that, its perfect. The exhaust sounds really nice, but its still a bit too loud for my taste. Im going back next week to get my OEM resonator put on. Anyways, too much talk.








And, the video clips

Naw, its not going to make it raspy. The car was running cat less and I hated it! For one, it smelled, and at 3000-3200RPM's it got REALLY raspy and was really annoying. After I put on the Magnaflow cat, it got rid of about 90% of the raspiness.

A resonator should do you well. After I got my exhaust done (2.5 piping, dc header, magnaflow high flow cat, es tuning muff), I also felt like it was still too loud. So I added a resonator and feel much better about it now.

By the way, get a plug for that rear wiper:

I got the muffler for $100 from some local shop. And I got the muffler welded with the cat and header back piping for $180.


So $280 for a header back 2.5" exhaust. Its not bad if you ask me!
