Just save yourself the hassle and get the Racing Beat Cat-Back or full exhaust, best bang for the buck and it is sexy.

1. It's way way way more expensive than if you just have a custom exhaust made at a shop with pieces you bought separetly.
2. According to who is it the best bang for the buck?
3. Not everyone thinks its sexy, like me for example.

thanks for the replies guys, im probally going to do what ddub suggested and get a muffler shop to bend the pipe for me, cause when your 16 and get 5.50 an hour and only work like 14 hours a week you can only have so much money.
but thanks for the replies!

ebay knockoffs = crap.

buy a quality system once and you wont need to worry for years and years to come. Buy a cheap knockoff and well.... that's for you to find out.

The saying goes

"if you're gonna do it, do it right."

NOT

"if you're gonna do it, do it rice"

ha, i was broke and said "if your gonna do it, do it stock" and ordered single headers and a presilencer ( I think it is too small (diameter)) and had a freind at a muff shop bend me a pipe to one of my stock catbacks.

Worked for a while, but the stock catback is clogged and I got no power past 7K. I'll be ordering a RB setup after I replace my top, my suspension, my seats, my steering wheel, my windsheild, and fix my tranny/throwout bearing.


man that sucks. i might as well add lining up my pass door so it closes right, resoldering my cpu, taking out all the little dents that are accumulating, and getting all the water out of my interior.

I wish I was out of school (college)... soon enough, soon enough.

Talking knock offs= good

I've got dual bomz mufflers on my car and they work great. They were $40 or $50 and have had them on my car for more than a year. Those along w/ a RB 3.15 DP and $30 worth of summit racing exhaust piping(had a buddy do the welding), saved me more money than getting a complete system.
