I'm looking for the cheapest route for a full exhaust sytem. So far I have ordered a single pipe muffler with a silencer for 50 bucks out of a wholesale magazine and I am going to have a muffler shop bend me 2 3/4" catback. I'd like to get a cheap header and maybe high-flow cat. Is there anything else I need to complete the system. Any suggestions on my current set-up. I'd like to keep it cheap and quiet but still add some power. Thanks.

 

cheap no good, good no cheap

 

be careful, sometimes cheap headers flow the same or even worse than the stock header

 

I have some suggestions. On ebay you can pickup OBX headers which are nearly identical to the popular DC designs for a little over a hundred. Ebay also has resonated test pipes for like 30 bucks that you can replace your cat with. Going your route, you could definately have a whole exhaust setup for under $300.

 

PLEASE spend the money to get a carsound cat, i got mine from here http://www.performance-curve.c...y=136 If your shop will do mandrel bends, 2.25" should be adaquate (spelling), if they do crush bending, go 2.5"


Also make sure to put a resonator in there somewhere or it will sound like your dragging a tin can filled with marbles. I got a cherry bomb for $20 at Bond Auto.
