Heey what should i do? Buy a high performance muffler and goto my local jiffy lube or w/e and have them put custom 3in piping on it and install it or buy the package exhaust system?

I bought an apexi n1 muffler, took it to a guy i know in muffler shop and he put the whole thing on with a 3' pipe off the cat for 100 bucks... that ended up costing me about 300 which is cheaper than what my local import store was selling for an apexi n1 catback w/out installation... i say go the cheap way, it works great by the way

it's not like it's a drastic loss of power, and if he plans on going turbo it's better to go ahead and get 3in now so you don't have to pay for 2 exhaust systems. :cool:

Also it's best to buy an exhaust system that's mandrel bent so that the air flows smoothly. Most places just crush/crunch bend the pipes, which disturbs the airflow at the bends. I suppose if you found a local shop that could mandrel bend the pipes it would be cheaper than going with a brand name aftermakret cat-back. Good luck on finding one that does though, I hear they are pretty rare, and seem to be around here.

ps. This question has been asked 4-6 times already, search :yesnod

No, we could cut back on all the clutter that fills the board and knocks questions that haven't been asked yet down to another page, where someone might not look for them.
