I was cruising craigslist this past weekend and I found a guy selling a stillen cat back exhaust. He removed it from his 94 NA 2+2. It looked to be in good shape but you couldnt really tell from the pics that he sent. I decided to drive the 2 hours and go check them out. When I arrived I wasn't exactly sure what I was looking at!! lol..... I know that I see stillen on the tailpipes of the mufflers and megan racing stamped on the cats just before the mufflers. I also see what looks to be stock cats closer to the front of the system???? My questions are simple, what exactly did I buy. Is this system put together correctly? Are the megan cats supposed to be where they are located in the pics. I know that this was removed from a 2+2 because I watched them remove it from the car. I ended up paying $300 for all of it and he threw in a trim piece for the center console just above the radio.. Please see the pics and chime in on what I bought. Was it worth $300?

Looks to have cats, x pipe, resonators, and mufflers mixed with a couple sh***y welds.

Yeah, I would have dropped 300 for it, just not a fan of the single outlet exhaust. Do you know the size of the piping?

How's it sound? That's how I'd base whether or not its worth it.

yeah those are megan resonators not cats... so its a little quieter than the straight up catback but still a steal for 300!

The pipes look to be 2.5" in diameter. I took it all to a custom exhaust shop and had the x pipe and the mufflers installed on my car. The cats that were on the system were not the correct ones. They had no o2 sensors and I didn't want to have cel or any other issues. My car sounds awesome! I love the sound of the stillen exhaust. It's not to loud but has a nice deep tone. I did not use the Megan resonators either on the recommendation of the exhaust shop. I am selling them for cheap if anybody wants them. Pm me! Thanks
